Helps in a simple way what it means to have socialized behaviors and more importantly that not everybody experiences gender and identity the way the majority does. What does it mean to feel more of a tomboy but not quite like a man but definitely not like a woman. It's many years thinking about it. This is a nice intro
Accessible and Informational!

Going into reading this book I wasn’t expecting to learn much as a nonbinary person myself but wanted to support Alok’s work! I was pleasantly proven wrong. Alok’s book offers insight that I believe to be accessible and educational to all identities. I regularly recommend this book to friends and family; especially if they’re looking to learn more about what it means to be nonbinary. Thank you Alok for your art and insight!
