Publisher Synopsis
In a world that at large still doesn't recognise non-binary gender identities, a book like this is incredibly vital and insightful. An important part of moving the conversation forward. -- Owl, film maker, writer and campaigner A powerful collection that will bolster generations to come, and help educate the masses about the diversity of gender identity. -- Fox Fisher, film maker, artist and campaigner At the heart of this book is the recognition of multiple factors which intersect with gender to shape experiences of being non-binary. It is these personal and nuanced perspectives which make this book so significant. Each and every chapter shares a narrative which is alive with idiosyncratic personality. -- Dr Katherine Hubbard, Lecturer, University of Surrey * The Psychologist * This beautifully curated collection of essays is a welcome tonic in a cultural climate that seems hellbent on misunderstanding and misrepresenting those who do not fall into gender binaries. Some writing on gender can often be inaccessible and academic, so it was a pleasure to read a collection of essays that were highly personal, thoughtful and immensely insightful. From "gender euphoria" to "radical softness", working through each contribution felt like having an illuminating conversation with the most informed and thoughtful person you know.Essential reading for anyone wishing to learn more about the wonderful diversity of humans. -- Joanna Whitehead * The Independent * Read more...
