The first-person narratives show a world where gender exists along a spectrum, and the writers break away from mainstream portrayals of gender diversity to illustrate what life could be like if we allowed the rigid categories of \"man\" and \"woman\" to loosen and bend. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 288 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 09 April 2019\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a person's gender does not fit comfortably into the traditional categories of male or female, a range of challenges and complexities arise. Even seemingly mundane activities such as filling out forms or using public restrooms can become fraught with difficulty when these designations prove inadequate. In this groundbreaking book, thirty authors explore the profound impact of a deeply entrenched gender binary on our experiences. Through powerful first-person narratives, this collection showcases a world where gender exists along a spectrum, a web, a multidimensional space. Nuanced storytellers challenge mainstream portrayals of gender diversity, cutting across lines of age, race, ethnicity, ability, class, religion, family, and relationships. From Suzi, who grapples with the question of whether she will ever truly \"feel\" like a woman after living fifty years as a man, to Aubri, who grew up in a financially strained fundamentalist household, to Sand, who navigates the dual roles of trans advocate and therapist, the writers' conceptions of gender are intricately intertwined with broader systemic issues. Labeled gender outlaws, gender rebels, genderqueer, or simply human, the voices in Nonbinary offer a glimpse into what life could be if we allowed the rigid categories of \"man\" and \"woman\" to loosen and bend. They speak to everyone who has questioned gender or paused to wonder, \"What does it mean to be a man or a woman—and why do we care so much?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 440g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 22 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780231185332\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095563858170,"sku":"9780231185332","price":14.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d4c306664b193a4d8ef68750b3e6efa9.jpg?v=1627265988","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/nonbinary-memoirs-of-gender-and-identity","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
