- More about Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes Toward Social Change
Redoing Gender explores the challenges of being anything other than a man or woman in a society that recognizes only those two genders. Through interviews with 47 nonbinary people, the book offers a rich description of the everyday labor required to disrupt the binary system, such as "rethinking sex and gender," "resignifying gender," "redoing relationships," and "resisting erasure." The final chapter interrogates the lasting impact of this labor through follow-up interviews with participants four years later. The book aims to help cisgender people relate to gender minorities with more compassion and appeal to those questioning their own gender, and will be of interest to academics across Sociology and Gender Studies.

Redoing Gender delves into the complexities of navigating life as anything other than a man or a woman in a society that predominantly recognizes these two genders. Gender nonbinary individuals, who identify as other genders beyond "man" or "woman," have challenged the traditional binary system, albeit with limited progress. This book, through in-depth interviews with 47 nonbinary individuals, offers a comprehensive portrayal of these forms of labor, encompassing "rethinking sex and gender," "resignifying gender," "redoing relationships," and "resisting erasure." The final chapter explores the enduring impact of this labor through follow-up interviews conducted four years later. While nonbinary people are gradually gaining recognition, it is evident that this transformation has been a arduous journey, marked by ongoing struggles.
The diverse narratives shared in this book provide valuable insights for cisgender individuals seeking to understand and empathize with gender minorities. It may also resonate with individuals questioning their own gender identity. This text holds significance for scholars in Sociology and Gender Studies, offering a comprehensive examination of the evolving landscape of gender identity.
