Post-Man: Essays on Being a Neurodivergent Non-Binary Person

Intimate confessionals on contemporary manhood and neurodivergence from a non-binary perspective

Navigating life as a neurodivergent non-binary person, Alex Manley explores their dislocations from the norm as part of a relentlessly personal journey seen through the variety of lenses that have defined them.

Post-Man delves into the ways in which Manley has always felt apart, alone, and othered--how they always felt there was something wrong with them. In adulthood they came to recognize that in addition to suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, and possibly more, they understood themselves as existing outside the neat binary of gender that modern society imposes on us.

With this understanding of themselves, Manley takes readers through the stultifying machismo of hockey culture, the improbable job of working for a men's website, the strange unpleasantness of going bald as a non-binary person, and more. Heart-wrenching and profound, Post-Man is a book that will make you reconsider your own perceptions of masculinity and manhood.
