Alok’s book Beyond the gender binary talks about how people should be accepting of others no matter who they are and don’t waste it off gender because gender is a form of expression and how one feels. Alok Wants readers to understand the different types of genders, for example, the non-binary aspects and how to accept non-binary people. Also, they express how they have been judged because they are non-binary and feel like they couldn’t be themselves. After reading this book, I better understood what non-binary is. Before this, I didn’t have a clue, but I find it interesting how people can hate a particular group based on that person’s decision. Also, With pronouns, I had gotten a deeper understanding of them. Before this, I didn’t understand that they slashed their pronouns because I always thought they as a group, not one person. One thing that I didn’t particularly appreciate while reading this book is that they feel uncomfortable going outside because people judge them and hate them. People shouldn’t be scared to leave their homes because others are closed-minded. Lastly, this book has taught me many things that I didn’t know before reading this book.
