TRANS LIKE ME Conversations for All of Us

With a distinctive voice that is both light and deep, C.N. Lester delivers a broad yet personal, challenging but affirming, thoughtful and compelling introduction to many of the common questions surrounding the transgender experience. The complexity comes from the subject matter--human experience--which is both singular and shared. Lester makes the case for greater awareness of and inclusivity toward transgender individuals. As the subtitle suggests, these are "conversations for all of us" on identity, gender, freedom, and dignity. To that end, Lester doesn't offer a definitive perspective on the trans experience, but rather draws from history and personal experience to insist upon the varied and valid experiences that mirror humanity at large. Provocative and moving, a worthwhile listen. A.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2018]
