BEYOND BINARIES

A Toolkit for Trans(form)ing Social Justice

Ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Apples and oranges. Good and bad.

Western culture loves binaries; the infinite nature of human experience is made easy to categorize with the introduction of an immutable dichotomy between “this” and “that”. However, the reality is that nature, our planet, and ourselves are not easily divided into neat boxes.

The Beyond Binaries toolbox embarks on the work of breaking down binaries into models that more holistically reflect human diversity with regards to gender. It is intended to be an introduction for anyone curious about queer social justice work. It will cover some key terms and resources you can use to further your learning or incorporate into your practice.

Getting Started

Keeping with the theme of moving beyond binaries, this toolbox uses a website format as opposed to a presentation or zine, where there is a linear order to proceed through. All the links are in the navigation sidebar, and you can start and end wherever you feel comfortable.
