Redoing Gender demonstrates how difficult it is to be anything
other than a man or a woman in a society that selectively
acknowledges those two genders. Gender nonbinary people-who
identify as other genders besides simply "man" or "woman"-have
begun to disrupt this binary system, but the limited progress they
have made has required significant everyday labor. Through
interviews with 47 nonbinary people, this book offers rich
description of these forms of labor, including "rethinking sex and
gender," "resignifying gender," "redoing relationships," and
"resisting erasure." The final chapter interrogates the lasting
impact of this labor through follow-up interviews with participants
four years later. Although nonbinary people are finally managing to
achieve some recognition, it is clear that this change has not
happened without a fight that continues to this day. The diverse
experiences of nonbinary people in this book will help cisgender
people relate to gender minorities with more compassion, and may
also appeal to those questioning their own gender. This text will
also be of keen interest to academics across Sociology and Gender
Studies.
