By a groundbreaking artist, performer, and activist: Travis Alabanza is a prolific and acclaimed artistic voice in the contemporary conversation on gender, race, and trans identity. Their work and words have been regularly featured in leading publications such as Guardian, BBC Online, VICE, and many more; on social media, they have 75k+ followers on Instagram, with 35% of their following based in the US.
A unique perspective in trans nonfiction: Unlike many nonfiction works focusing on trans and nonbinary topics, None of the Above is not purely educational or focused solely on activism. Alabanza considers gender beyond the binary for both trans and cis people, exploring how enforcement of the binary impacts everyone—including those whose lives fit within heteronormative standards. They also meditatively doubt the nature of their own gendered existence. None of the Above tackles nuanced topics of queer and feminist theory, but from a conversational and accessible style.
