In Transit

<p>For decades our cultural discourse around trans and gender-diverse people has been viewed through a medical lens through diagnoses and symptoms set down in books by cisgender doctors or through a political lens through dangerous caricatures invented by politicians clinging to power. But those who claim non-binary gender identity deserve their own discourse born out of the work of the transsexual movement absorbed into the idea of transgender and now finally emerging as its own category.</p><p>In tracing the history and theory of non-binary identity and telling of their own coming out non-binary writer Dianna E. Anderson answers questions about what being non-binary might mean but also where non-binary people fit in the trans and queer communities. They offer a space for people to know explore and understand themselves in the context of a centuries-old understanding of gender nonconformity and to see beyond the strict roles our society has for men and women.</p><p><i>In Transit </i>looks forward to a world where being who we are whatever that looks like isn't met with tension and long-winded explanations but rather with acceptance and love. Being non-binary is about finding home in the in-between places.</p>
