Read Susan Stryker's foreword to Nico Lang's book on trans youth, American Teenager (exclusive)
Briefly

According to one recent study, somewhere between 130,000 and 260,000 trans Americans and their family members have already become internal refugees, relocating from hostile states to more supportive ones to escape this recent tsunami of repressive laws and policies.
Lang offers space for them to tell their own stories while providing helpful context for the audience. The stories Lang's subjects tell are heartbreaking, sweet, infuriating, and inspiring in equal measure.
Their stories can inform and enlighten; they should also be wake-up calls for anybody who hasn't fully tuned in to what's happening to trans folks in this country these days.
