Description
Nonbinary Life is an invitation to imagine the possibilities of life outside of gender.
To write, to think, to imagine, to agitate, and to love without regard for gender is to lead a non-binary life. In this genre-defying work of autotheory, Marquis Bey proposes a radical refusal: to relinquish gender as a framework we carryβfor ourselves and for othersβand to embrace modes of being that exist outside of its grasp.
Spanning questions of pronouns, masculinity, love, family, language, and even the Redwood National Forest, Nonbinary Life blends memoir and theory to provide a philosophical meditation on what it means to live beyond the binary.

Let's (Not) Talk About (Transgender) Sex
For decades, trans studies and queer theory have treated the trans body as a theoretical construct β a site for identity, dysphoria, and gender politics β leaving erotic realities largely unexamined. Desire, pleasure, and real sex have been pushed to the margins, rendered almost unspeakable. Let's (Not) Talk About (Transgender) Sex challenges that silence.
