BMA Medical Book Awards Finalist The number of people coming out as
transgender continues to rise, and this book shows healthcare and
medical practitioners how to deliver excellent primary and
secondary care to gender diverse patients. This guide provides

explains how to use language and pronouns in a respectful way,
provides information on transgender services and resources, and
offers insights into the challenges commonly faced by transgender
people in both medical and social contexts. Based on cutting edge
research and the lived experience of the author as a non-binary
person, this is essential reading for all those working to meet the
needs of transgender people in healthcare settings.
LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST 'Essential reading' - THE
INDEPENDENT 'Vital and insightful' - OWL FISHER What does it mean
to be non-binary in the 21st Century? Our gender identity is
impacted by our personal histories; the cultures, communities and
countries we are born into; and the places we go and the people we
meet. But the representation of contemporary non-binary identities
has been limited, until now. Pushing the narrative around
non-binary identities further than ever before, this powerful
collection of essays represents the breadth of non-binary lives,
across the boundaries of race, class, age, sexuality, faith and
more. Leading non-binary people share stories of their intersecting
lives; how it feels to be non-binary and neurodiverse, the
challenges of being a non-binary pregnant person, what it means to
be non-binary within the Quaker community, the joy of reaching
gender euphoria. This thought-provoking anthology shows that there
is no right or wrong way to be non-binary.
