@lgbtqcreators creator meme: [5/8] lgbtq+ celebs "I had to free my own mind of what, at that time, what I felt like masculine adrogynous energy looks like. I was living in my own binary, and I was like there's no way that I can be androgynous with bigger boobs now. How I feel inside is the thing that I needed to work through." — JANELLE MONÁE

no more characters who are nonbinary just because their species doesnt have gender. more characters that species dont have gender but still read up on human gender theory and realized they were still not into this shit
alien character who decided to give this gender thing a try and ends up detransitioning back to nonbinary
once i came out as nonbinary to this old lady i was doing volunteer work with and i explained what it was and she was like "oh! you're like the reverse of this one lady from star trek! her whole species was nonbinary but deep down inside she felt like she was a woman and she decided she wanted to be a woman. and they weren't happy with that but she was a woman inside and nothing would change her mind."
You can't leave these crucial details in the tags
Wait so the trans name is like a thing that some kids think is real. Like a few (cis, at least at that point) kids have separately asked me what their trans name would be like you get a YA dystopian book personality test when you start to transition and get a new name. I was like no, you choose it, that's the point it's a choice and most of the kids were like oh that's cool. But one girl was like "but what if it's something like Dino King." And I was like, Dino King would be the dopest fucking chosen name, DO IT.

#and then she proceeded to infodump about star trek for the next 15 minutes #probably the funniest reaction i've ever gotten to coming out #runner up is that time in high school i came out to a friend who was a couple years younger than me and v sheltered #and i told him he could ask any questions about being trans that he wanted to #and he asked "what would my trans name be?" and to this day i have no clue what the FUCK that was supposed to mean #he ended up being one of the best allies i ever met who helped me manage my dysphoria without outing me #and in some ways supported me better than even fellow trans people #but it was just SUCH a funny reaction #oh also that old lady had shaved her head and wore all masculine clothes and went by an androgynous name different than her birth name #and i almost expected her to compare my experiences to her but nope. star trek. iconic

been thinking about appearances and stuff
What looking for a pronoun pin turned up and my immediate reaction.
There’s a million things happening in the world right now but Jonathan van Ness being openly non binary on Queer Eye season 5 is giving me LIFE. My crops are thriving, my skin is clear.
new dove short featuring stevonnie!
i dont steven universe, but i think this is really important seeing as how this commercial explicitly states that stevonnie, a childrens cartoon character, is intersex, nonbinary, and uses they/them pronouns! the dove commercials air on cartoon network, and will be seen by a multitude of children!

Once there was a little bunny who realized e was nonbinary. So e said to eir mother, “I am not a boy bunny or a girl bunny.“
“I love you, but I don’t understand,” sair eir mother
“Male and female bleed into each other like day and night,” said the little bunny. “There is space between them for sunrise and sunsets.“
"I’ve always thought of male and female like land and water,” said eir mother. “Separate.“
“If they were, then I would be a frog, who lives half in and half out of both,” said the little bunny.
"I’ve always seen female and male as light and shade,“ said eir mother. “Divided.”
"If they were, then I would be a cat, who lies half in and out of the sun,“ said the little bunny.
“I’ve always believed that male and female were like two trees,” said eir mother. “Distinct.”
"Then I would be a bird who flies back and forth between both,“ said the little bunny.
“Whether you are a sunrise, or a frog, or a cat, or a bird, I am still your mother. I will support you wherever you go,” said the mother bunny. “I love you.”
"I love you too,“ said the little bunny.
Something about Rebecca Sugar coming out as a nonbinary woman is a huge surprise but it also makes so much sense in retrospect. The Gems aren’t nonbinary because they’re aliens or because she wanted to look Woke or whatever….she was literally just representing her own gender identity this whole time, even if she admittedly did make it subtle (except Stevonnie, she said the fandom knows they’re very obviously nb) but I think making subtle representation for a group you belong to is very very different from a cis creator who just wants to throw the nb community a bone but not quite commit to it, if that makes sense
since this post doesn’t link to it, here’s the interview where she discusses this; that part of the discussion starts at about 10 minutes in.
Transcript of the relevant segment:
Rebecca Sugar: One of the things that’s very important to me about the show is that the Gems are all nonbinary women. […] They’re coded female, which is very important […] I was really excited […] to make a show about a young boy who is looking up to these female-coded characters.
Interviewer: I’m sorry, when you say they’re “coded female” what do you mean by that “coded”?
Rebecca Sugar: They appear to be female. They’re a little more representative of nonbinary women. They wouldn’t think of themselves as women, but they’re fine with being interpreted that way amongst humans. And I am also a nonbinary woman, which, it’s been really great to express myself through these characters, because it’s very much how I have felt throughout my life.
I’d also like to point out that a number of the crew throughout the show’s production have identified as LGBT+ identities, including nonbinary. It’s not my place to name them (since they spoke about it on their blog and not public interviews), but my point is that SU’s themes of identity and expression has always come from a personal place among its crew.
Good vibes!! So I’m nb and go by they/them. My little cousins wanted to play superheroes and one of them said I should be supergirl but like imideatly one of the others said “no! They’re not a girl! They can be... um.... um.... superTHEY!!” It was so cute ahdbdnsmsnsjs
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
about this blog:
This a blog where nonbinary people can submit their outfits, outfit tips, or other clothes and fashion related things.
I will post some of my own as well to get this started soon.
some goals of this blog:
1) let us all share our outfits (it’s fun!)
2) help us find our fashion senses.
3) to make a safe place for enbies.
requirements to submit:
you must be nonbinary. That’s all :3
requirements to follow:
none, I only ask that you be respectful.
about me:
I’m just a simple agender enby who’s rather into some fashion, and somewhat frustrated at my inability to find out ways to both express myself and be read as nonbinary. Sometimes it feels like it’s very hard to be out and about in the world when we keep getting misgendered. I don’t know if my quest to be read as nonbinary will succeed, but I want to figure out how it goes.

Hey, if any of you think you have follower who would be interested in this, would you mind reblogging? its cool if you don’t just figured i’d put it out there again.
look at this meme I saw on a bridge in Chicago
I’m going to start exploiting this immediately
when someone misgenders a nb person
this post is circulating without the important part which is unacceptable
the cis: what pronouns do you use? non-binary person: they. the cis: but what’s in ur pants? non-binary person: Bottom Text
Max, age 13, is agender — neither male nor female. When referring to Max, you don’t use “he” or “she;” you use “they.”
Once strictly a pronoun of the plural variety, “they” is now doing double duty as singular, too — referring to individuals, like Max, who do not see gender as an either/or option. (NPR agreed not to use Max’s last name, because the family feared the sort of online threats that have been made to other transgender families.)
If the whole he/she pronoun thing feels awkward to you, Max is sympathetic — and patient.
‘We are seeing more and more kids saying, 'You know what? What’s with this either-or business? What’s with this boy-girl and you have to fit in one box or the other?’ “
Diane Ehrensaft, psychologist, Child and Adolescent Gender Center, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital
"I can’t expect anyone to use the right pronouns for me because it’s not a thing that people know,” Max tells me. “It’s been great being myself, but it’s also been really hard for people to get it, and for even family to get pronouns and stuff.”

Anyone have any tips/resources for coming out as trans to parents? Specifically for non-binary kids?
Life Outside The Binary has a parent’s guide and nonbinary-support has a great tag for coming out with tons of resources. :)
Wowie thank you 💕💕
