About this listen
Beyond Trans pushes the conversation on gender identity to its limits: questioning the need for gender categories in the first place. Whether on birth certificates or college admissions applications or on bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Do they serve a real purpose or are these places and forms just mechanisms of exclusion?
Heath Fogg Davis offers an impassioned call to rethink the usefulness of dividing the world into not just Male and Female categories but even additional categories of Transgender and gender fluid. Davis, himself a transgender man, explores the underlying gender-enforcing policies and customs in American life that have led to transgender bathroom bills, college admissions controversies, and more, arguing that it is necessary for our society to take real steps to challenge the assumption that gender matters.
He examines four areas where we need to re-think our sex-classification systems: sex-marked identity documents such as birth certificates, drivers licenses and passports; sex-segregated public restrooms; single-sex colleges; and sex-segregated sports.

The voiceover is robotic and difficult to listen
Definitely listen to the clip before you purchase, couldn't focus on the content of the book becuase the reading was so bad and broken up. Does not flow

Ridiculous nonsense.
When people inevitably start to ask “when did trans activism start to go so wrong?” I’m going to tell them to grab a copy of this book. If you’re chasing horribly biased, illogical, unscientific, and inaccurate information to support your ideological/political agenda, this is the book for you.
