Also doing sci-fi means I need to learn how to draw more wacky materials. *gestures vaguely at yesterday's mylar blanket adventure*

Handsome Hussars is just 90% leather, wool, and linen.

International Non-binary People's Day!

It’s International Non-binary People's Day today, and besides sharing a new pic of Charlie, I thought I’d also share about it since I am non-binary myself. My pronouns are they/them as are Charlie's.

It’d be easy to focus on the bad things I’ve experienced as a queer person and specifically as a non-binary and trans person but that gives away the goodness I have from being able to be out and open about it.

Non-binary is something I’ve felt for a long time but being a person who grew up in the 80s and 90s so the language wasn’t something I had until the last few years, with a homophobic parent, in a career that was never kind or decent to anybody in the LGBTQIA+ community, it took me so long for those and many more reasons. I try to not dwell on that as it doesn't help but make some moments and things make more sense when I look back.

But now that I’m out as being non-binary it’s been a relief to be able to feel more able to live and express my gender more freely, to know that I can get gender affirming treatment like the top surgery I want. It’s also meant I’ve talked about myself to family in a way I haven’t before. They don’t understand what it is to be non-binary to me or any of the other labels I use, but they’ve been willing to listen and to learn more. Yeah, they sometimes get it wrong, and there are things that need to be worked on, but I’ve never felt so seen or understood before, and that’s lovely.

I’m proudly trans and non-binary because I feel it is important to be that way so that others feel safe to be out too or that even if they can’t just yet, one day they can. I didn’t keep in the closet for all this time to be meek about it when people actively seek to reduce mine and the rights of friends and others like us, or would like to see us no longer be here. People deserve to be seen and honoured as themselves and that takes the courage of others to help them, to help build a world where people don’t live in fear of being themselves. That’s all we want; to live as our true selves, honestly, fully and happy.

Charlie would be surprised and yet not surprised of how things are right now, but they very much share my attitude that there’s no shame in being yourself. It feels great! We bring colour, joy, euphoria in the celebration of who we are, we enrich the experience of being human in the multitude of ways you can be. Non-binary people have been a part of humanity's history for much longer than people want believe and have been a part of and respected in many cultures around the world and across time.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and remember that somewhere to somebody your non-binary self is the sugar in somebody’s coffee, the strawberry to their shortcake, the lace in their shoe (yeah I stole that from You’re the Cream in my Coffee but it’s true!)
