Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

 I've been hunting for a second-hand copy of this book ever since I saw Alok in Jonathan Van Ness's Getting Curious. If you haven't wtached that, give yourself a favour and go. It's 30 minutes of pure love and joy and also heartbreak.
Beyond the Gender Binary does exactly what it says on the tin, exploring what lies beyond the idea of a gender binary. It does focus a lot on the harm perpetuated in the notion's name, so be prepared for that, but it gives a checklist of arguments against the usual responses to people who feel threatened by the existence of trans and non-binary people. This book is very short and easy to read, so it should absolutely be everywhere.
