Gender Queer: a Memoir Deluxe Edition by
"In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere."--Provided by publisher.

Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography by
"Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory - yet, too often, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists. Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history"--Publisher's description.

What is the Gender Binary?
A societal concept that gender is typically limited to two strict categories of male or female. There is an expectation for gender identity to align with the sex assigned at birth, and traditional gender expressions and roles are often emphasized.
What does Non-binary mean?
A person who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary people may identify as being both a man and a woman, somewhere in between, or completely outside these categories. Not all Non-binary people identify as transgender. Non-binary is also a term encompassing identities such as agender, bigender, genderqueer, or gender-fluid.*

They/Them? Isn't That Plural?
No! "Singular They" refers to using they/them pronouns for one individual. We commonly use "Singular They" in our everyday conversations. The Oxford English Dictionary traced "Singular They" in English Speech and Writing as far back as 1375.
Ex: "Is your friend coming to my party?" Do I need to know anything about them?"

What are Neopronouns?
They/Them pronouns are not always the preferred pronouns for every non-binary, transgender, or gender-nonconforming person. Examples of neopronouns include xe/xem/xyr, ze/hir/hirs, and ey/em/eir.
