I love an oral history in general (I read an excellent graphic novel adaptation of Stud Terkel’s labor work in undergrad) and when I can listen to an audiobook of one I am even happier. The audiobook for So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color by Caro de Robertis is excellent. The breath of experiences covered by the oral history is interesting and moving. In particular, listening to the book as I myself am undergoing medical transition is interesting experience. I am constantly thinking about my body, its changes, and changes I would still like to see happen. It is wild to know that others have been feeling the same, and different, way(s) for generations.
