challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Alok's Beyond the Gender Binary is a wonderful, quick read about the meaning of being non-binary, transgender, and/or gender non-conforming, and the joys and hardships that come with being your authentic self. Throughout this book, Alok expertly addresses and corrects stereotypes placed on the trans community by cis-heteronormative people, with grace and kindness. They share their own experiences, taking us through their journey of coming home to their true identity. From beginning to end, Beyond the Gender Binary feels like a warm hug to the trans community, chock-full of relatable anecdotes and positive, validating affirmations. I highly recommend this book for those who are trans or gender non-conforming as a reminder that we not only exist, but we are valid(!), but especially to any cisgender, cisnormative person wanting to learn more about their trans, non-binary, and GNC siblings.
