although i have mixed thoughts about some few arguments presented in this short book, i commend how Alok dismantled most prejudices towards nonconforming gender binary through concise and on point discussion. it is a short eye opener for a lot of things we still don't understand about gender. an even thought-provoking discussion regarding the way society has infused fixed concepts of gender in our daily lives to disregard the issue of oppression and violence happening in the nonconforming community.
got a lot of takeaways in this book. highly recommend.
