Essays on people's experiences being nonbinary and how that impacts their other identities and experiences and vice versa.
This book made me feel seen in ways I didn't even realize existed. Seeing so many people call themselves genderqueer after being the only person I knew with that identity was something I didn't realize I had needed.
It talks about how disability impacts gender, how being fat impacted their gender positively, how being apart of other cultures impacted how they could explore and express themselves and its really opens your eyes to the diversity of nonbinary. There's often a narrative of nonbinary being confused, thin, white, able-bodied, AFAB people that this book goes directly against and it's really impactful and needed
