When you are someone who falls outside of categories in so many ways, a lot of things are said to you. And I have had a lot of things said to me.

In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them about their gender identity. These phrases have stayed with them over the years. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary.

Through these seven phrases, which include some of their most transformative experiences as a Black, mixed-race, non-binary person, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.

As an older trans person who has recently begun identifying as non binary I found Travis' story both inspiring and alarming. I first came across them when a friend recommended I listened to an interview on the Homosapiens podcast and was so impressed by their success as a writer and performer. I think what alarmed me Boston was hearing that Travis still encounters levels of discrimination and harassment unchanged for over 50 years.

As a non-binary person myself, Travis' insightful, funny and emotional recounting of their life and gender non conforming journey was both relatable and moving. Living as a gender non conforming person in this world is often scary to me but this book gave me the hope and courage I so desperately long for. Thank you Travis.
