There’s no one way to be, there is your way to be. How beautiful is that. Read my book #beyondthegenderbinary (link in bio) to learn more. | Alok Vaid-Menon

the reason fashion continues to be gendered is to maintain the illusion of the gender binary: the fiction that there are only two opposing genders. the gender binary is created to naturalize discrimination against women and queer people as "nature," when it is really a choice. #degenderfashion ________________________ Tour Dates: Tour Dates: (https://alokvmenon.com/#tour) May 1: Geneva May 2 & 3: Berlin May 4: Zürich May 5: Madrid May 7: Barcelona May 11: Luxembourg May 12: Sofia June 1: Baltimo

Transgender issues can often be a punchline in stand-up. But for gender non-conforming comedian ALOK, being in on the joke is the ultimate form of affirmation. Their routines challenge the gender binary and promote radical acceptance. “It’s a ritual that allows me to translate and transmute all of the negativity I face and create something beautiful,” they say. At the link in bio, ALOK discusses how they use laughter and style to celebrate authenticity. | ELLE Magazine (US)
