“Gender Non-Conforming” and “Non-Binary” are two topics I have always been curious about but felt like there was such little information to really understand, learn and get to know those who identify as such. Alok highlights the biggest issues surrounding those who identify as such as those that also identify as Transwomen (more specifically black women). An example stated was “Texas proposing financial compensation for reporting us using the restroom”. Things like this and worst are the world of those who go beyond the gender binary. It is something that not just as a society are we supposed to correct but educate very early on in the lives of children. This is something to be normalized and not demonized. Alok uses political memory to demonstrate the many ways in which the system has accepted the murder, bullying, and harassment of those who chose to express themselves. It is such a shame that as a society we are supposed to be evergrowing. I wish I had more access to understanding things as such. Sexuality is very complex and there is little information/education available to the understanding of something that is a founding function of the experience of human life. The way you relate/behave sexually is one of the very important parts of identity because it is how you communicate yourself to the world. I think it is saddening that instead of trying to understand and crave more knowledge on these vital issues it is just shut down like the Florida bill saying that LGBTQ matters cannot be discussed on school premises.
