American Teenager: The History of Trans Youth (feat. Nico Lang)

“Being transgender is the least important thing about me. I’m a person. I’m just a person”

– Conner, 18, college student from Ohio

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a trans kid in America today?

(Hint: it f*cking sucks.)

Groups on the right and their politicians use trans kids as pawns in the political game of vote and media attention.

And they love to act like trans kids are an anomaly of modern woke leftists.

But actually trans youth have been around for centuries in America.

And when you hear what their stories are, you start to understand they’re just regular kids, like any others.

My guest this week, Nico Lang, spent nearly a year of his life living with eight trans and nonbinary kids around the 50 states.

The result is a wonderfully empathetic and revealing book, titled American Teenager: How Trans Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy In a Turbulent Era.

You can purchase it on Allstora, where LGBTQ+ and marginalized authors are fairly compensated for their work.
