What happens when your gender doesn't fit neatly into the
categories of male or female? Even mundane interactions like
filling out a form or using a public bathroom can be a struggle
when these designations prove inadequate. In this groundbreaking
book, thirty authors highlight how our experiences are shaped by a
deeply entrenched gender binary. The powerful first-person
narratives of this collection show us a world where gender exists
along a spectrum, a web, a multidimensional space. Nuanced
storytellers break away from mainstream portrayals of gender
diversity, cutting across lines of age, race, ethnicity, ability,
class, religion, family, and relationships. From Suzi, who wonders
whether she'll ever "feel" like a woman after living fifty years as
a man, to Aubri, who grew up in a cash-strapped fundamentalist
household, to Sand, who must reconcile the dual roles of trans
advocate and therapist, the writers' conceptions of gender are
inextricably intertwined with broader systemic issues. Labeled
gender outlaws, gender rebels, genderqueer, or simply human, the
voices in Nonbinary illustrate what life could be if we allowed the
rigid categories of "man" and "woman" to loosen and bend. They
speak to everyone who has questioned gender or has paused to
wonder, What does it mean to be a man or a woman-and why do we care
so much?
