The result is deliberately accessible, conversational and resistant to academic gatekeeping: a short book interested less in producing the definitive account of transness than in showing why such accounts so often erase the people they claim to include. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcross sections on language, identity, “coming out,” femininity and the closet, binaohan keeps returning to a central problem. All categories that appear descriptive, are rarely politically innocent. The book is especially concerned with Indigenous and people-of-colour experiences of gender, and with the limits of frameworks that detach gender from histories of race, colonialism and power. It remains a useful little anti-primer — compact, argumentative and refreshingly uninterested in making the subject tidier than it is. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBiyuti Publishing, Toronto, 2014.
