A great, short, helpful, accessible, and informative read. I read the ebook along with the audiobook, which was read by the author.

I really enjoyed this book and it gave me a lot to think about, and made me feel so many things. Can't wait to delve into my own journey and embrace myself as this book encourages.

A little too fast-paced for me, and the writing style (particularly the constant cutting up of sentences) distracted me a lot. 

A good introduction though, and as someone nonbinary, the section about normal vs normativity was still thought-provoking.

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.
