Beyond Binary: Genderqueer and Sexually Fluid Speculative Fiction by Lee Mandelo

2.0

For a book called "Beyond Binary," this book was ... really binary. There were two or three stories where the narrator or main character is not assigned a gender but most are either male or female - and often it's not a particularly large component of the story if the character identifies or is identified as trans* in any way.

Beyond that, I wasn't particularly impressed with any of the stories. There were a handful I enjoyed but none that really stood out to me. It was kind of a struggle to keep reading this but I kept hoping that I'd come across a story that would make it worth it. That didn't really happen, unfortunately. Ultimately I was pretty disappointed with this anthology.
