What is the gender binary?

In short, the 'gender binary' is the concept that there are only two genders - male and female - and that former is somehow superior to the latter. This was not born out of biology, as many believe, but rather a system of oppression and power. The gender binary, especially how we experience it today, is rooted in violent white colonization's fight for global power. Learn more at the following resources.
