Reading Outside the Gender Binary - hosted by dytiscusfriend

A book by someone from outside North America and Europe
People exist outside the gender binary all around the world but sometimes I get caught up in my Western bias so I invite you to join me in reading books from authors outside the gender binary AND outside Western cultures. This is encouraged for every prompt but having a specific prompt for this will remind me to seek out these books.
