In Beyond the Gender Binary, poet, artist, and LGBTQIA+ rights advocate Alok Vaid-Menon deconstructs, demystifies, and reimagines the gender binary.

Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, Beyond the Gender Binary, Alok Vaid-Menon challenges the world to see gender not in black and white, but in full color. Taking from their own experiences as a gender-nonconforming artist, they show us that gender is a malleable and creative form of expression. The only limit is your imagination.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"There's no better time for a new conversation about the damaging effects of mainstream society's oppressive, dismissive, and silencing stance on who folks are supposed to be based on...what...? Thank God we have Alok. And I'm learning a thing or two myself." (Billy Porter, Emmy award-winning actor, singer, and Broadway theater performer)

"This beautiful book is a beacon, just like Alok. Having Alok in my life has saved me in so many ways, and now you can have a little bit of them with you, too. When reading this book, all I feel is kindness. This is a step-by-step education on what it means to respect non-binary people. Alok is a human being who has a deep love and commitment to other human beings. They have come to us from the future to show us what life could be like if we all loved a little harder and dug a little deeper." (Sam Smith, Grammy and Oscar award-winning singer and songwriter)

"Beyond the Gender Binary is a literary vessel of light for those who are looking for hopefulness, honesty, and a stimulating education in the exploration of themselves. This book is a twenty-first-century survival guide for queer-identifying people of all walks of life—Alok provides a safe space of shared experiences, commitment, and love to expand the gender binary to create a brighter and more inclusive present and future. This book shares wisdom, knowledge, and the universal spirit of celebrating one's self by shattering the transphobic lens that hinders most gender non-conforming people. Beyond the Gender Binary will give readers everywhere the feeling that anything is possible within themselves, and that self-love through whatever choice of gender expression is truly attainable." (Princess Nokia, musician and co-founder of the Smart Girl Club)

Featured Article: Audible Essentials—The Top 100 LGBTQIA+ Listens of All Time


While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.

Reading or listening to Alok's words are never a waste of my time. They are for everyone.

short , sweet and perfectly poignant

Alok creates a space within their book to lean in, learn, and grow as a human. Their voice, both as narrator and writer, is moving and empowering. I am a parent of a child who is curious about their gender and identity. Listening to others' stories and experiences helps our family support and navigate life alongside our child. I am grateful for Alok and their gift of communication to the world.

I think if this was required reading for all, it has the potential to create wide societal shifts and changes. This was a thought provoking, easy read and something anyone/ everyone can enjoy, I think.

Should be required reading for all

I didn't notice how short this book is before I purchased it. I hope some of the proceeds go to the pocket change exchange. They have wonderful points, but could definitely elaborate a bit.

Very short and sometimes too succinct

This is an amazing book, it should be included in school programs, it should be read by every person. Alok V. Menon has the power of clarity, delicateness and compassion with every word coming out of him. That's amazing.

If there were more than 5 stars, I'd use them all!

An eloquent and articulate exploration of what the gender binary is, the implications it has in western society, how it shapes our own lives and self-expression and an invitation to imagine an alternative. Beautifully written and performed!

Highly Recommend!
