Want to Read $ 13.19"The woman in me cannot be researched."-Micah Rajunov, Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity
"The dress code of "business casual" is highly gendered, and I have to decide which "drag" to wear to work."-Micah Rajunov, Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity
"We are dreaming things that a previous generation never imagined, but those dreams are sometimes night terrors too, frustrated visions of our oppression."-Micah Rajunov, Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity
"Perhaps all my shifts from room to room were just social camouflage, but that wouldn't convey the magic of catharsis. Every bed-bound woman saw in me what they needed most, mistaking a single part for a multifaceted whole. Of course for me that resulted in terrible frustration mottled with a wonderful joy. For who on Earth can shape-shift through such dramatic social roles if not the genderqueer? Everyone in the transgender revolution knows how it feels to be mistaken, their pronouns casualties of misassumption. And while I wish I could attest to some resolution, to be genderqueer is to be in the thick of it."-Micah Rajunov, Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity
