None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them as a Black, mixed race, non-binary person.

"A memoir exploring what it means to live outside the normative boundaries imposed by society, from an award-winning trans writer and performer. In None of the Above: Reflections on Life beyond the Binary, Travis Alabanza considers seven phrases people have directed at them throughout their life. These phrases-some deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or violent, some celebratory-have fundamentally shaped Alabanza, both for better and for worse. But these phrases also illuminate broader issues about a world that insists on gender as a fixed identity. Alabanza considers the meaning of gender, and the role it plays in a world that rigidly and aggressively enforces the binary. Drawing from their experiences as a racialized queer person, Alabanza interrogates our current frameworks around identity and meditates on doubt and language"--
