This is a great collection of essays from people that identify in some way with the concept of being non-binary. So many different writing styles and experiences! It really makes a strong collected work. Anyone interested in gender will learn something from this.

 - NONBINARY is one of the most useful texts about gender I’ve found, containing deeply nuanced discussions about what it is like to live outside the gender binary, how many different ways there are to be nonbinary, genderqueer, or otherwise nonconforming, and how gender intersects with other aspects of identity.
- The queer community often has conversations about whether labels are helpful or limiting, and NONBINARY shows readers both sides of that coin - on the one hand, it can be so hard to understand yourself when you don't have the right vocabulary, and on the other hand, the vocabulary we do have often isn't enough.
