Queer Marxism
It is an ongoing question how queer liberation can be theorized from a marxist perspective. It is on us to study what people have already contributed to this debate, develop these ideas further, and, most importantly, try them in practice. This is an ongoing search and journey for me, so recommendations are welcome!
nonbinary and genderqueer books
both nonfiction and fiction about being genderqueer, nonbinary, genderfluid, bigender etc
For Nonfiction Newbies
These are nonfiction recs that may be good for people just wanting to dip their toes into nonfiction. A lot of this focuses on shorter or graphic nonfiction, but also ones with interesting writing or really accessible explanations.
