About this listen

In Trans Like Me, CN Lester takes listeners on a measured, thoughtful, intelligent yet approachable tour through the most important and high-profile narratives around the trans community, turning them inside out and examining where we really are in terms of progress.

From the impact of the media's wording in covering trans people and issues to the way parenting gender-variant children is portrayed, Lester brings their charged personal narrative to every topic and expertly lays out the work left to be done. Trans Like Me explores the ways that we are all defined by ideas of gender - whether we live as he, she, or they - and how we can strive for authenticity in a world that forces limiting labels.

This is such a fantastic book. I bought a copy for my parents to read and recommend it to anyone who, like me, is looking at learning more about trans issues and what it means to be trans.

This book has surpassed my expectations - it's nuanced, informative, encouraging, and deeply personal. At times it feels like a warm hug, a peek into a better future, or a battle cry. Will definitely re-listen and recommend to as many people as I can.

Determined to be a more inclusive employer and friend, this book was a really great start on my journey to become better educated as a cis-woman. Would really recommend. Lester’s voice is gorgeous to listen to as well, their message passionate and intelligent, eye-opening and important. Thank you.

CN Lester's book is a valuable insight into life as a trans person and the fight they have to go through to be accepted. Their narration is exceptionally good and the book has increased my awareness of Trans issues.

A poignant, honest, brave and at times a difficult read, but it is a must. I recognised my own ignorance, and I have to be honest, I still don't quite get it all, but I'm ready to learn. The title of this review, taken from the book, is a good starting point in the learning process. Thank you CN.

educational and insightful

As a cis straight female, I found this very helpful to understand those who identify as trans and non-binary and yet also myself and my own struggle to be authentic to who I really am.
It was read very well by the author - I had to turn the speed down to 80% in order to take it in - so much well researched information and so much to think about.
I especially loved the differentiation (I think in chapter 8) between conditional and unconditional love/acceptance.
