About this ebook
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A short, compassionate, and deeply personal primer on gender’s expansive, multifaceted nature, from acclaimed author and gender non-conforming performance artist and speaker Alok Vaid-Menon.
“When reading this book, all I feel is kindness.”—Sam Smith, Grammy and Oscar award-winning singer and songwriter
In Beyond the Gender Binary, poet, artist, and LGBTQIA+ rights advocate Alok Vaid-Menon deconstructs, demystifies, and reimagines the social definition of gender, challenging the world to view it not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, Alok shows readers that gender is a flexible and creative form of expression—the only limit is your imagination.
Presented by Pocket Change Collective, a small book series with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists, Beyond the Gender Binary allows readers to express themselves freely, and encourages love in all its forms.
