Moving beyond the gender binary for Alok means not fitting into what society has structured or define as right and wrong. Everyone has the power and freedom to decide how and what represent them when they don’t find them self or feel like they belong in a system that has been created by society. This is not only about either one or the other if you feel like you are much more than that. Not everyone expresses them self the same one, and the simple fact that you express yourself differently thought the way you dress doesn’t mean you doesn’t fit into a category beside the one society has created. People should not be afraid to go outside because they are different or scare to be judge. One thing from this article that really stood out to me was the fact that his Buller was just hiding himself under a category he did fit into and all because he was worry about how society would look at him and that is a sad story we still see today people who damage other because they do not have the courage.

I will say I am an athlete female who like “Mans” sports major of my childhood all I did was playing sport which is nothing wrong but the parenthesis here was that I used play basketball in a team composed by boys, me been the only girl in the whole tournament still nothing wrong with that just with the exception that I used to wear baggy clothes which made me look like a boy. I started to use baggy clothes not for the look but because I felt comfortable and so they use to called me tomboy. I have never been a girly female; I don’t wear make-up all do this fancy stuff, wear dress or neither liked play with dolls or do many “girly stuff “. Almost all my friends were boy or I used to hang out with boys more than with girls, So I guess in this way my identity goes against the binary norms as I am also a working mother that does not sit home and wait for the man to provide or fix whatever breaks in the house. Now how does I think my identity fit the binary norm, I act and represent myself as female I do dress more girly, also I am heterosexual which “fit the binary norms”. I respect others point of view and simply neither agree or disagree I think everyone is free to express them self the way the feel is okay to them as much do it through art, music, many also do it through look and appearances still this doesn’t have to fit you into a category you don’t not relate or belong to.
