THE FUTURE IS NON-BINARY

  • Human beings are more than either or.
  • Empowering, informative, utopian! A book for a generation that is not afraid to move beyond old norms and constraints.

How does the gender binary shape our world?

The idea that there are only two genders is patently wrong. The gender binary is inadequate, and there are alternatives. Diversity is a fact: human beings are more than just either/or. They are trans, intersex, gender nonconforming, non-binary, agender, queer. But as visibility has increased, anti-queer voices have grown more strident. There is emancipatory potential for all human beings, however, in the overcoming of rigid categories. Lydia Meyer envisions a world in which the old boundaries have become obsolete, drawing on their own personal experience of struggling with the gender binary, and of finding their own way forward.
