What's the T?: The Guide to All Things Trans And/Or Nonbinary--Juno Dawson in conversation with E.R. Anderson
By Charis Books and More/Charis Circle
Charis welcomes Juno Dawson in conversation with E.R. Anderson for a discussion of What's the T?: The Guide to All Things Trans and/or Nonbinary. Discover what it means to be a young transgender and/or non-binary person in the twenty-first century in this candid and funny guide for teens from the bestselling author of This Book is Gay. This event is co-sponsored by the Gender-Creative Parenting Collection and Trans & Friends Youth and Adult groups.
In What's the T? Stonewall ambassador and bestselling author Juno Dawson is back again, this time with everything you've wanted to know about labels and identities and offering uncensored advice on coming out, sex, and relationships with her trademark humor and lightness of touch. It is informative, helpful, optimistic, and funny but with a good dose of reality and some of the things that can downright suck too.
The companion title to the groundbreaking This Book Is Gay, What's the T? tackles the complex realities of growing up trans with honesty and humor and is joyfully illustrated by gender non-conforming artist Soofiya.
This book is for:
- Anyone with questions
- Parents of trans and/or non-binary kids
- Educators looking for advice about the transgender community
Juno Dawson is the international bestselling author of fiction and nonfiction for young adults. She is a columnist for Attitude magazine and a key LGBTQ+ activist with the charity Stonewall. A former teacher specializing in behavior studies, Juno now writes full time and lives in Brighton, England.
