#nonbinary things

the nonbinary urge to get a PhD so people have to refer to you as Dr instead of Ms/Mx/Mr

i have two moods: fuck gender get me a baggy jumper and HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN (the anne with an e sound) theres no in between

Tonight two people asked me if I’m a man or a women, I am glad I apparently still look androgynous enough to confuse people and not as much like a man as I thought.

nonbinary people don't legally exist in the US and UK and many in our own community defend the use of slurs against us. Such a fun time to be alive.

I wish I didn't have the pressure of society trying to make me fit one stupid specific box.

Gender is literally so stupid. All these expectations are put on you at BIRTH and people expect you to fulfill all of them or you are considered less than human by people who are too ignorant to see they've been conditioned to act the way they do their whole lives.

I wish society didn't feel the constant need to label every little part of someone's identity. Because it's impossible for every individual person to meet all the expectations those labels place on the individual.

Even as nonbinary/agender people we still are pressured to put the labels (nonbinary and agender) on our genders, because society can't accept anything not binary or gendered. Anyway that's all. Abolish gender norms, literally do whatever you want with your identity.

Sometimes I wish I was born a boy so I could be a girl.

looking back on it i should have realized i was nonbinary a long time before i did (afab)

exhibit a. i have literally always been super uncomfortable with super feminine clothing and makeup, yet wore it all the time because i felt like it was what i 'had' to do because of what society told me. but i absolutely hated every second of it

exhibit b. i've always been incredibly uncomfortable in feminine bathing suits (i guess this goes with the feminine clothing thing but oh well). i recall constantly being super uncomfortable with them even when i was younger (less so then but especially once i hit eleven and twelve), and have almost always wished that i could just wear boy's swimwear

exhibit c. i only did feminine things because i felt like i 'had to' in order to be accepted by society, even when i really didn't feel like it or want to

exhibit d. getting misgendered never really...bothered me? like yeah i might be like 'um my parent's actually call me she' when someone called me a he but like i didn't actually care that much

exhibit e. the divide between girls and boys never really made/makes sense to me? like i genuinely don't get the idea of it past how people look

probably a lot more too much it's late and i'm tired and yeah

Good thing I wore spanks under my dress today. It's been so long I've done forgot how to sit in a dress.

Gender is so strange, like no I’m not a girl/woman, no I'm not a boy/man, I actually don’t have a gender at all, however, I do feel a connection to both masculinity and femininity (though I feel slightly more connected to masculinity than to femininity)

When The Killers said "somebody told me that she had a boyfriend who looks like the girlfriend that I had in February of last year"

That really spoke to my nonbinary 8 year old self

"Are you a man?" NoOooO

"Are you a woman?" NOooOo

I'm a creature of the night. A crawling, slithering thing. Something that has many aching parts, and none of them are my own. My outer casing needs new wiring. The shell that encapsules me wants to be re-oild and the screws taken out. The flesh that I am bound to longs for sunlight, but my mind needs the cool, quiet solitude of the moon. Everything that is noise and bright flashing, loud tangible speaker static belongs to the mechanism of my body. Everything that is whispers and quiet condescending cruel and soft meaningful bliss, is of my soul. I am not man nor woman, boy nor girl. I am not my body, I am the millions of creatures that inhabit it. And yet I am more than that still..... I am me. but I am not this.

They always talk about gender euphoria for trans people when they are correctly gendered by a stranger but we never talk about genderless euphoria when someone just has no idea what to gender you as and just makes up some neutral way to refer to you.

The order of the nonbinary flag colors:

ID [The nonbinary flag, four horizontal stripes of the same size, the colors are yellow (top), white, purple and black.] end ID

I'll teach you all the silly way I learned the order of the nonbinary flag colors:

First think about a fried egg 🍳: the yellow is on top and the white right bellow it.

Then you think about a purple shoe: the sole will be black, so purple first, black is the last!

That's it 😆

Me fighting the urge to not change my name, pronouns, gender and sexuality everyday

[thatstormygeek]

Man, I'm not especially interested in litigating whether "binary privilege" is a thing or whatever, but it does grate a bit seeing us nonbinary folks get tossed in with whatever side is getting called out at the moment while the actual issues we might be facing remain unaddressed.

[nova-they-exist-yup]

the only time i’ll classify myself as a lady is when people say “ladies first” and i can do whatever thing first
