Tekst achterflap

Being a queer couple, Dutch TV presenter and editor-in-chief Mandy Woelkens, and internationally known actor Thorn de Vries, get an awful lot of questions about gender: from parents who see their kids struggle with their identity, to media who want to use the right pronouns but don’t know how to do so. From companies that want to be more inclusive but lack knowledge, to people whose social circle includes someone who is non-binary. And last but not least, they get a lot of questions from people who are discovering their sexuality and gender identity themselves.

In 'FAQ Gender', Mandy and Thorn use their personal experiences to answer all those frequently asked questions. How do you know if you’re non-binary? How do you react when someone misgenders you? How do you know which pronouns suit you?

This book is a perfect read for anyone who is non-binary, and for everyone who wants to know more about gender and wants to be a respectful ally to non-binary people.

‘Our soul can get lost if we don't know who we truly are. This book is written out of love for a new start.’
– Vanessa Van Cartier
