What if you discovered the entire concept of a gender binary is nothing more than an illusion? The idea that humans fall into one of two gender categories is largely a construct created by those who benefit from that belief. More expansive ideas of gender have always existed. In the second book of the Queer History Project, The Gender Binary Is a Big Lie: Infinite Identities around the World, author Lee Wind uses historical evidence and primary sources—poetry, ancient burial sites, firsthand accounts, and news stories—to explore gender roles and identities. Gender is as diverse as the human experience. Get ready to shatter those preconceived notions of a gender binary and dive deep into expressions of gender—both past and present—that reveal that the gender binary really is a big lie.
