An
Introduction
to
Nonbinary
and
Genderqueer
Issues
Introduction
e
purpose
of
this
book
is
to
introduce
readers
to
the
concepts,
con-
texts
and
daily
struggles
of
nonbinary-identified
and
genderqueer
people
–
people
whose
gender
identities
lie
outside
the
simple
binary
of
male
and
female.
We’re
a
distinct
social
group
existing
within
the
larger
transgender
and
LGBTQ
communities,
with
our
own
set
of
vulnerabilities
and
privileges.
Nonbinary
people
are
becoming
more
and
more
visible
every
day,
in
movies,
TV
shows,
books
(and
no
longer
just
science
fiction!)
and
the
news,
on
the
runway,
even
in
schools
and
workplaces.
Several
celebrities,
including
Jaden
Smith,
Amandla
Stenberg
and
Miley
Cyrus,
have
come
out
as
trans
or
at
least
gender-nonconforming
in
some
way;
activist
Maria
Munir
came
out
as
nonbinary
to
President
Barack
Obama
during
a
London
town
hall
meeting
in
2016.
Our
sudden
visibility
has
come
with
some
backlash:
genderqueer
people
have
faced
harassment,
public
ridicule
and
even
violence
from people
who
refuse
to
accept
or
try
to
understand
us.
But
there
have
also
been
people
willing
to
listen,
to
whom
our
gender
identities
