In Beyond the Gender Binary, poet, artist, and LGBTQIA+ rights advocate Alok Vaid-Menon deconstructs, demystifies, and reimagines the gender binary.
Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, Beyond the Gender Binary, Alok Vaid-Menon challenges the world to see gender not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, they show us that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression. The only limit is your imagination.
Customer Reviews
Engaging, Enriching, considerate of all
I enjoyed this book very much . I was engaged in the book the whole time throughout. I love how their writing has a way of enriching the reader and reflect and take pause in moments to consider a thought and give space to all thoughts and preconceived notions.
I feel that all people can read this and gain something beneficial from it.
Thank you Alok for writing this book .
One of those books
A must read, in my opinion every single person should. A heart warming exploration of self that hits my queer body to the core. From a fellow BCS native, ily Alok.
Insightful
Finished the book in one reading. Loved it. Made me cry, jump for joy and scream. So intelligent and raw.
