Alexandra Diodonet’s Reading Reflection 2

What moving beyond gender means to have the free will to where you can truly be yourself and have confidence in yourself without society judging you, or being scared anything could happen to you. I found this reading inspiring especially for people who are afraid to dress and be themselves, this is the perfect book for younger youth who are struggling with themselves to be themselves and not hide, having society ‘telling’ them who they should be based on their gender. This book uses language that makes non-conforming aware that they’re real people as well even if they don’t identify as male or female. What I like about the book is it helps me understand the non-binary and genderfluid, this book actually helps me find out that it’s not only male and female but other genders that I learn that people don’t seem to talk about. There are so many people who talk about it on social media to express themselves who they are and inspire others who are feeling like they are not themselves. I feel like people need to focus on the gender binary, it doesn’t matter if a male wears a dress, a woman wears a suit or a non-binary wearing whatever makes them comfortable people need to focus that they’re still people. This issue has been going on for a while and I believe that it is time to make a change and accept people no matter what gender or gender label society assigns them at birth.
