In Their Shoes: Navigating Non-Binary Life
In Their Shoes: Navigating Non-Binary Life | Jamie Windust
6 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
'Beautiful, heart-breaking and hilarious.' - Scarlett Curtis 'A love-letter to our non-binary siblings.' - Paula Akpan "There is no one way to be non-binary, and that's truthfully one of the best things about it. It's an identity that is yours to shape." Combining light-hearted anecdotes with their own hard-won wisdom, Jamie Windust explores everything from fashion, dating, relationships and family, through to mental health, work and future key debates. From trying on clothes in secret to iconic looks, first dates to polyamorous liaisons, passports to pronouns, Jamie shows you how to navigate the world and your evolving identity in every type of situation. Frank, funny, and brilliantly feisty, this must-read book is a call to arms for non-binary self-acceptance, self-appreciation and self-celebration.

"That was the first time I had experienced genuine harassment and prejudice from people who had no idea about me as a person. Prejudice that was based purely on the fact that I didn‘t look how they wanted me to, and was tied up in homophobia, transphobia and misogyny. A triple threat of public prejudice that I had never experienced before so viscerally."

"The thing is, we know we are worth it. We know that we are valid; we don‘t have to be told these things as if we don‘t know our own power and strength."

“…dating and being in relationships is never something we should use as a tool to make ourselves feel complete.”

“This has truly been one of the most fulfilling yet terrifying and nauseating experiences of my life: putting pen to paper to share parts of my life that even I wasn‘t aware of.“

A great quote about writing.
