Trans Like Me by CN Lester offers an insightful and deeply personal exploration of gender, identity, and the trans experience. With a balance of thoughtful analysis and lived experience, Lester examines how media narratives shape our understanding of trans lives, the complexities of parenting gender-variant children, and the broader cultural conversations around gender. Written in an accessible and relatable style, this book invites both trans and cis readers to think critically about how gender shapes us all and what it means to live authentically. This is not just a book about trans identity; it’s a conversation about how society defines us, how labels can limit or liberate, and what still needs to change to create a more inclusive world.
