Beyond the Gender Binary

Alok Vaid-Menon breaks down everything you could ever want to know about the term “gender binary” in Beyond the Gender Binary. They explain about the history of binary humans and the use of non-binary terminology. This term and idea goes back thousands of years. They also break down every myth and argument that people bring up regarding “gender binary” humans.

Vaid-Menon does all of this in an easy and sometimes funny manner. Beyond is a very quick read, but with a wealth of information. They manage to cover such a broad range of information in such a short period that when I finished with the book, I thought I could teach a class. In today's world it is important to know each other and Vaid-Menon gives us an opportunity to understand gender binary and all of the terms it encompasses.

A must read. A huge thank you to Alok Vaid-Menon and the Pocket Change Collective for producing high quality and needed LGBTQIA+ information and reading material. I would also love to give a shout-out to the SAILS Library network for carrying this book, otherwise I would have never been able to read it.

I got this book from my library. I love my local library and you should check out yours too. Request LGBTQ+ books and they will stock them! #ebooksforall
