The reading Beyond the Gender Binary by Alox Vaid Manon was an easy informative read. After reading the excerpts from the book taught that people in society have no knowledge when it comes to gender non-conforming or non-binary people and when people do have the knowledge it is not accurate information. I felt like Alox just wanted people/society to become more informed about gender non-conforming or non-binary. In my opinion, people that are gender non-conforming or non-binary are humans too that deserve that same amount of respect and rights that anyone else gets. The fact that Alox states that gender non-conforming workers are not protected by civil rights laws really has me thinking about what is this world coming to. I also can not believe that such big departments in the United States like the Department of Justice, Center of Disease Control and prevention, or even the Department of Health and Human Services are all against people that are gender non-conforming and non-binary. If major departments like these are against them what do they expect society is going to be. How could people in this world be singling out others because of their preference for identity is. I find it really troubling and sad that people are really going through this. At the end of the day we are all humans, so people need to start at least respecting other people’s wishes regardless of their personal opinions. In the future before you state your opinions just have some knowledge of what the individuals are going through.
