AMERICAN TEENAGER; How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era

From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America today.

“American Teenager is an incredibly important, humane account of the joys and struggles of
so many youth currently under attack in our country. I pray this book will one day be seen
as a historical work that sheds light in a dark world and that Lang’s message of love and
acceptance becomes the story we carry forward into the future.”
—GARRARD CONLEY, author of Boy Erased: A Memoir

“Lang weaves this broad bleak terrain with warm insights and a clear immediacy of
message. Expansive and compassionate.”
