BOTH/AND Essays by Trans and Gender-Nonconforming Writers of Color

A talented team of narrators shines a light on the lives and experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming people of color in this powerful audiobook. The anthology includes 17 stories of artists, activists, drag queens, scientists, and writers. Each selection is authentic and powerful, and brings a necessary perspective, given the current social and political climate that tries to silence this community. The narrators capture the fear, rage, love, and hope of each story. Each offering is compelling, but "On Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi and "All Power to the People" by Raquel Willis are particularly powerful. Listeners will continue to reflect on these heartbreaking and emotional stories and be inspired by their calls for action. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
