About this listen
For decades, our cultural discourse around trans and gender-diverse people has been viewed through a medical lens, through diagnoses and symptoms set down in books by cisgender doctors, or through a political lens, through dangerous caricatures invented by politicians clinging to power. But those who claim non-binary gender identity deserve their own discourse, born out of the work of the transsexual movement, absorbed into the idea of transgender, and now, finally, emerging as its own category.
In tracing the history and theory of non-binary identity, and telling of their own coming out, non-binary writer Dianna E. Anderson answers questions about what being non-binary might mean, but also where non-binary people fit in the trans and queer communities. They offer a space for people to know, explore, and understand themselves in the context of a centuries-old understanding of gender nonconformity and to see beyond the strict roles our society has for men and women.
In Transit looks forward to a world where being who we are, whatever that looks like, isn't met with tension and long-winded explanations, but rather with acceptance and love. Being non-binary is about finding home in the in-between places.

Interesting and helpful in someways
I’m a bi cis woman doing my best to understand the trans experience in my reading over the last few years. Non-binary identities are the area where I feel least knowledgeable in being an ally. This book did an interesting and coherent summary of feminism and gender analysis and theory, however I feel that some of the coherency in purpose was lost in the author’s, at times, meandering tying in of her memoir. I understand that reading the experience of an nb person would be useful. It just felt that in your instance it was distracting from the primary thrust of her argument and could have been done better.
Overall interesting though
