Description
In Ways to be Equally Human Leslie Tate tells the inside story of coming out as a non-binary person, from being ‘othered' in gendered toilets to stepping up on stage & radio and taking action with Extinction Rebellion. Leslie's poetic life-fiction takes us on a journey through crazy childhood dreams and gender dysphoria into personal growth. Full of lyrical writing, humour and quirky insights, this is a book for lovers of language, nonconformists and passionate thinkers. It's a clear-eyed account of how we live today, including computer stress, noisy neighbours, guided meditation and the spirit of rebellion inside the machine. It's also a love hymn to Leslie's partner and the planet.
