From the elections of Barack Obama and Donald Trump to the tragic events of Ferguson and Charlottesville, the subject of race has come to the forefront of American consciousness. Legendary satirist D. L. Hughley offers his own cutting observations on this contentious issue that continues to traumatize the nation, a wound made more painful by the ongoing comments and actions of the 45th president. Hughley uses humor to draw attention to injustice, sardonically offering advice on a number of lessons, like "How to make cops feel more comfortable while they're handcuffing you".

Great until the Homophobia & Transphobia
Revisado: 02-07-20
This book made great points about racism and hypocrisy through humor, but it took a distasteful and nasty turn in the last 5 minutes. The author was very dismissive and ignorant about the struggles that queer and trans people have faced, and the comparison of black and sexual/gender minority struggles was so incredibly unnecessary and counter-productive. The author states "Our rights were a little more hard fought. Listen, we had several civil rights leaders assassinated, we were hung, water-hosed, jailed." The rights of black folks, queer folks, and black queer folks have all been hard fought and are still being hard fought. Black, queer, and black queer folks have all been systematically killed, assaulted, criminalized, ostracized, excluded, and jailed. People with these marginalized identities should be working together, should support each other, should learn about each other's histories and cultures, not criticize and compare.

Beyond Trans pushes the conversation on gender identity to its limits: questioning the need for gender categories in the first place. Whether on birth certificates or college admissions applications or on bathroom doors, why do we need to mark people and places with sex categories? Do they serve a real purpose or are these places and forms just mechanisms of exclusion?

Excellent!

I loved this book. The author gave engaging, informational, and convincing arguments about why sex segregation is problematic and should be re-evaluated for the benefit of us all. The arguments were intersectional, addressing issues of gender, sex, race, ability, and age throughout the book. It was also inclusive of a variety of trans and gender non-conforming identities including non-binary, butch, etc.
