Summary
'I believe that children who are questioning and exploring their gender are the gender bosses that we all so desperately need. I believe that they are our future.'
In this life-affirming, heartening and refreshing collection of interviews, young trans people offer valuable insight and advice into what has helped them to flourish and feel happy in their experience of growing up trans.
Speaking openly and candidly about their gender, their experiences of coming out, their aspirations and their fears – accompanied by interviews and support from their parents and carers – this audibook is beautiful proof of the potential for trans children to live rich and fulfilling lives when given the support and love they need.
With trademark candour and empathy, Juno Roche gives voice to a generation of gender explorers who are making gender work for them and in the process, reveals a kinder, more accepting world that we should all be fighting for.

Incredible, brave and inspiring
This in as excellent book regardless of your gender or anything else, there is so much to learn from Juno Roche and the real life stories of all the people in this book - their experience of life growing up trans, their parents, their experience of education and educating the world - the difficulties faced and taking experience and putting it into action and bringing about change through knowing their right to be who they are. It is an inspiring collection of stories of young people bravely believing in their rights to be themselves. It is very moving, honest and full of great lessons about compassion that anyone can draw strength from. One of the best books I have read this year.

I loved this book
Gender Explorers is an eye-opening audiobook about trans youth. It is a collection of interviews with transgender children and teenagers, conducted by the writer of this book at trans charity support groups, and some of the views and ideas about what it means to be trans are truly inspirational.
As a trans person myself, I found myself taken aback by how mature and intelligent what some of the interviewees have to say. They discuss their lives as trans youth and how their parents and schools reacted and it just brought a smile to my face to know that it isn't all doom and gloom as I had previously believed. I would highly recommend this to any young person who identifies as trans and is looking for reassurance about being themselves. This book, both its content and narration, felt like a warm hug as someone told me that everything was going to be alright.
There is even a resource guide with a list of UK charities that support trans people and their families, if anyone is looking for support and information.
