As part of this conversation, we believe that the sharing of resources is yet another tool we have as organizers. The following are works that have moved us to think beyond the binary in our own work. It is no way exhaustive. In fact, we believe that the work of busting binaries is just beginning. This list highlights some of the thinking that has provided us with foundations for our work.
