In this installment, The New Queer Conscience, Voices4 Founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we're not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.

On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein's transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions.

As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy", they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride.

In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision. And yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.

Critic Reviews
"There's no better time for a new conversation about the damaging effects of mainstream society's oppressive, dismissive, and silencing stance on who folks are supposed to be based on...what...? Thank God we have Alok. And I'm learning a thing or two myself." (Billy Porter, Emmy award-winning actor, singer, and Broadway theater performer)

When reading this book, all I feel is kindness. This is a step-by-step education on what it means to respect non-binary people.

Logical fallacy throughout and very poorly argued.
I came in as open minded as I possibly could into the book, looking to learn and understand, but from the very beginning when Alok described “men and women” as “opposite” I was put on guard. Men and women are biologically complimentary, two essential contributors to creating a human life. Alok accuses society as the oppressor and divisor, when they themselves have divided the world in their head without regard for if it is true or not. The book is filled with inconsistencies and poor logic, and I don’t care to write all of them out (the review will end up being longer than the actual book), but If this is the best non-binary ideology (and it is one) can offer, it will not convince many people.

A Must Read or Listen.
This is must read or listen for everyone. I finished it in two days. This opened my eyes to what needs to be considered, especially in public relations. It is also refreshing because Non-Binary people are just as adequate and valid as binary people. We must respect their pronouns and become their allies for liberation for all.

Non Binary
Thank you Alok. As a cis white woman I struggle with my worth within the basic binaries of right/wrong, good/bad, win/lose. Alok, through their experience of gender, conceptualizes the danger of categories, not only to transgender people, but to ALL PEOPLE seeking their truest understanding of themselves. Instead of looking outward for validation on who we are, Alok moves us, through their analysis of the cage of gender normatives, toward the definition of freedom for us all. The freedom to be uncategorized is the freedom to discover who we are.. to find validation in the act of authenticity… to experience the divinity of taking shape over contorting. I am deeply moved by their words. Thank you for this message Alok.

Amazing, groundbreaking work
This book is way beyond it's time, but hopefully, it can be speed up the change in our world. The author is an incredible thinker, someone who is brave and thinks outside of societal norms.
The elegance in the way they articulated their points gives me hope that maybe gender non-conforming people like myself will one day convince the world of our value and that our existence will be respected.
I can't recommend this enough to anyone willing to open their mind and take a look outside of the artificial boxes society has created for us.
Thank you so much to the author for writing this work. It was very much needed.

Wow!!!!
I came out almost a decade ago and always thought of my femininity as a discrepancy to be phased out on my journey to becoming a palatable cis gay guy. This book completely turns everything I knew about myself on its head. I had to pause every so often to process what Alok was saying and compare it to my own experiences. A very powerful and extremely thought-provoking read.
