Beyond the Gender Binary
Summary:
Beyond the Gender Binary is a small book with big ideas. Alok Vaid-Menon, known for their poetry, art, and support of the LGBTQIA+ community, challenges readers to see gender not in black and white, but as a whole spectrum of colors. Drawing from their own experience as a non-binary media personality, they show that gender is a creative form of expression. The only thing that limits us is our imagination.
