Description

~ I feel as being a nonbinary person was like standing in the door, between one room filled with femininess and another room filled with manliness. You can lean either forward and be considered as a man or lean backwards and be considered as a woman.

Sometimes I struggle between placing myself in either of these rooms and I sometimes feel that I should just leave this f*ckin house




Yesterday (July 14th) was International Non-Binary People's Day.

Saying it shortly in case some people don't know, nonbinary people are people who's gender identity doesn't fit into binary categories of gender which are being a man and being a woman. People may express their identity in many ways and be nonbinary even despite their stereotypically feminine or masculine expression.
Nonbinary is an umbrella term for many gender identity different than man and woman: agender, bigender, genderfluid, androgynous etc. Nbs also can call themselves genderqueer or gender nonconforming and most common pronounce they use is they/them

I'm also nonbinary but I call myself queer and use he/him pronouces (whenever I feel safe). I'm transman but I don't identify fully with being a man, I'm somewhere on masculine spectrum. My gender expression is masculine and I want to be seen as a man but I still like having my nails painted and hair dyed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what is perfectly fine no matter what your gender identity is

This picture is based on my personal feelings and it not necessarily applies to feelings of other nonbinary people

       


I made this graphic some days ago even without a knowledge that there is such holiday. I'm late with uploading it but better late than never

I love this, so beautiful! Ièm still super unsure about my identity but I think I fit best in the no-binary category. I my case Ièd say im too manly to be female and too feminine to be a man. LOL

Do you know that...
women don't have to be 'feminine' as society sees it
men don't have to be 'manly' as society sees it

Things that you wear doesn't change anatomy + having a vagina doesn't mean a woman has to wear makeup, etc. 
I feel like genderfluidity is a sad excuse for people who feel bullied in some way, why would anyone create 'null' category to put there people who want to be, for example, agender? 
While it's okay to be bald, weird edgy clothes, anything, it doesn't change the fact that there are two genders. 
Culture ideas about feminine and masculine behaviour/look are indeed a social construct but the gender itself is not a one; nonbinary genders are a social construct though.


BTW sorry if I made any mistakes, English is not my first language, in fact I'm not a native speaker of any human language

I identify like you. But you are 'humanly' enough to live whatever you want to live. Who cares about machos and bimbos?

P.S. Thanks for the info about that day. I did not know it either.

right, for some time I struggled with putting a label on myself but then I realized that
sometimes looking for specific labels and trying to fit into an specific idea may be frustrating
and instead of making you feel better it makes you feel upset.
being queer/nb makes me feel comfortable without this constant urge to fit in

Right. For years I tried very hard to fit into categories I didn't even like, plus I failed pathetically. NB to me is like some sort of sanctuary or resting place.
