As laws targeting trans people multiply across America, especially targeting TransYouth, and gender freedom is thrust into the center of a political firestorm, Burn the Binary, Vol. II arrives as a bold, necessary intervention.

In this searing and accessible collection of blistering essays, pioneering activist and writer Riki Wilchins dismantles the rigid gender norms that have shaped our lives—and the right win conspiracy that endeavors to keep us rigidly in place, or bring us back to the make-believe past. Drawing from decades on the frontlines of queer and trans liberation, Wilchins refuses compromise, arguing that incremental inclusion isn't enough when the very framework of the binary is what's broken.

Burn the Binary, Vol. II isn't just a critique—it's a call to action. With clarity, wit, and unflinching courage, Wilchins urges us to imagine a future beyond "male" and "female," where gender is self-determined, expansive, and free.

As lawmakers wage war on trans existence, this book reminds us: the fight is not only to defend rights—but to redefine reality.
