Beyond Magenta: Transgender and Nonbinary Teens Speak Out

Evaluate Beyond Magenta’s use as a resource for young transgender people and their families. How might this book benefit them? What are some ways in which the book is incomplete?

Choose two of the interviewees. Discuss how these two individuals navigate individuality versus solidarity in regard to learning of other trans people. Do these two interviewees find comfort or discomfort in knowing others have had similar experiences?

What role does art (fashion, music, theater, etc.) play in the lives and transitions of the interviewees? How does it help them in their journeys of self-discovery?
