• The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People - focused resource - this book is less of an "ally" resource and more directly for the affected audience (who, conveniently, are named in the title). I list it here because it is easy to read, easily actionable, and contains a good selection of techniques that can be practiced for anyone wishing to alter their speaking voice, especially through the lens of gender/identity congruity. I have found it immensely helpful in my own struggles with voice dysphoria and often recommend it to others in similar situations. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-voice-book-for-trans-and-non-binary-people-a-practical-guide-to-creating-and-sustaining-authentic-voice-and-communication-matthew-mills/9965560?ean=9781785921285

Books

• all about love / communion / the will to change - information - this set of three books, all by bell hooks, offers a dramatic departure from the usual rhetoric of control and struggle that appears in much literature about subjects like oppression. By focusing less on the way domination and oppression play out, hooks creates room to think about what could replace it, and how love as a verb must be the foundation of anything we build in the effort to undo oppression of all kinds. These ideas have become truly foundational elements of my own thinking about liberatory efforts and continue to motivate much of my own writing.

Paradigms

The following are a list of terms I found interesting. Theres more important paradigms for gender equality but I don't have it at the moment. I don't know if the definitions are accurate, I got it from Claude AI.

• Gender Abolitionist - The belief that the concept of gender itself should be abolished from society entirely. Gender abolitionists see gender as an outdated social construct that perpetuates rigid roles, expectations and inequalities.

• Postgenderist - Similar to gender abolitionists, postgenderists envision moving beyond the gender binary and gender categories to a society where gender distinctions are rendered obsolete or meaningless.

• Gender Nihilist - The view that gender as a concept has no inherent meaning or essence and is a social fiction that should be rejected or deconstructed.

• Gender Anarchist - Belief that gender should be voluntarily constructed by individuals free from societal pressures and norms. Gender anarchists support smashing rigid gender roles and hierarchies.

• Gender Eliminativist - The view that gender itself, as a concept and social institution, should be eliminated entirely from society through social, political and cultural change.

• Antigenderist - General opposition to the concepts, enforcement, and systems surrounding gender. Antigenderists reject gender as a means of identity or social categorization.

• Gender Critical - Analysis and criticism of gender as a societal construct, often from a feminist perspective critiquing patriarchal gender norms and expectations.

• Antisexist - Ideology opposing sexism and discrimination based on biological sex, advocating for equality between sexes/genders.

• Genderblind - The belief that people should be treated as individuals without regard to gender categories or generalizations based on gender.

• Gender Oppositionist - Opposing and resisting societal gender norms, expectations and prescribed gender roles.

• Degenderer - Someone who wishes to eliminate or "degenerate" gender categories and distinctions.

• Ungenderable - Cannot be classified within typical gender categories or binaries.

• Gender Nonconformer - Does not follow societal norms or expectations about gender expression/identity.

• Gender Transgressor - Intentionally transgresses or violates established gender norms and boundaries.

• Genderbender - Blending, mixing or bending traditional gender expressions.

• Genderfree - Freedom from gender categorization or prescribed gender roles.

• Agender - Having no gender identity or a genderless identity.

• Genderless - Without a gender or not identifying with any gender.

• Gender Apathetic - Indifference or apathy towards gender as a construct.

• Gender Rebel - Rebelling against or defying enforced gender norms and expectations.
