    About this ebook

    'An outstanding work' - CN Lester, author of Trans Like Me









    Join the creators of Queer: A Graphic History (‘Could totally change the way you think about sex and gender’ VICE) on an illustrated journey of gender exploration. 







    Is masculinity ‘toxic’? Why are public toilets such a political issue? How has feminism changed the available gender roles – and for whom? Why might we all benefit from challenging binary thinking about sex/gender?







    In this unique illustrated guide, Meg-John Barker and Jules Scheele travel through our shifting understandings of gender across time and space – from ideas about masculinity and femininity, to non-binary and trans genders, to intersecting experiences of gender, race, sexuality, class, disability and more. 







    Tackling current debates and tensions, which can divide communities and even cost lives, Barker and Scheele look to the past and the future to explore how we might all approach gender in more caring and celebratory ways.

      Cherry-picked and confused approach to topics much more complicated than the authors would like you to believe. I fear the world we will create by filling YA shelves with this garbage.

      I learned so much from this. Great work!!! Thank you!!!
    • 5/5
      This is an interesting look at the discussion around Gender that is going on at the moment, I'm sometimes wary about some books like this because often they seem to create more rigid boxes for gender and gender expression but this one does look at the topic and ask a lot of questions. It's a worthwhile read as a starting place.
