Nonbinary People Be Like

[@exogender7687]

"Are you girl nonbinary or boy nonbinary" Demigender people: Well yes, but actually no

[@drygonfyre]

Right? As a demigirl, I guess I could say I'm a girl nonbinary, but uh.... that's not really how it works.

[@drygonfyre]

@Taylor_the_confused_potato I think nonbinary girl/boy is different from girl/boy nonbinary, if that makes sense? There's a difference that makes sense in my head, anyway. Like, putting the girl/boy first puts more emphasis on the gendered part, so to me it reads like it's focusing on your AGAB instead of telling you what your alignment is. That's just how I read it. I'm not comfortable with calling myself a girl non-binary or non-binary girl, anyway.

[@drygonfyre]

@Vlad The detailer No. Being non-binary just means that you aren't fully and completely male or fully and completely female. It covers any gender identity outside of the binary. Some non-binary people might be both male and female, either as bigender or androgyne, but many are only aligned with one, or with neither.

Let's also remember that "singular they" goes back to the 1400s (in writing - so likely older) while "you" used to be only plural and it was still slowly replacing singular "thee" and "thou" in the 1600s.

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

Specifically it goes back to a poem titled "William and the Werewolf" (derived from the French Guillame de Palerne) and was one of those rare instances in fiction where the werewolf isn't the villain.

[@sillygoosetaur]

that’s it, we’re referring to everyone as thee/thou now

[@alexisdumas84]

Plus, even if they didn't have that history, why couldn't we change the language? Not having singular non-gendered pronouns for living things is a failure of language that should be rectified, after all, and for more than just nonbinary people.

[@friend_trilobot]

@@alexisdumas84 wholeheartedly agree! Besides, third person singular is literally the only time pronouns are gendered at all in English - its not a requirement of language - some languages don't Express gender in pronouns at all

[@alexisdumas84]

@@friend_trilobot precisely. Even when I was going through my teenage phase (largely caused by being brought up in a religious household) of being bigoted towards LGBTQ+ people, it still bothered me that English didn't have a non-gendered third person pronoun, just because sometimes the gender of the person you are talking about is unspecified, unspecifiable, or irrelevant. For instance, when doing philosophy and positing abstract rational actors.

[@ThomasTrue]

I am 58 and after a lifetime of hiding it, I came out as non-binary and pansexual on 30 June, last day of Pride month. And actually, Thomas isn't my name - True Thomas is just a moniker I took from a character in Scots folklore. My parents named me Leslie, which has turned out somewhat convenient, as I don't have to change anything, as what was traditionally the masculine spelling is now increasingly also used for girls. I have been misgendered all my life by people thinking I'm female. Great video, Jamie. You're a lovely man, and one of my favourite KZbinrs. Much love back to you.

[@MidnightSonnet]

Congrats! I'm 41 and only recently accepted that I'm NB. I've known since my mid twenties, but I hid it so as to not inconvenience people. I've only come out to my fiance, who's very supportive, thankfully, and one friend. Not sure if I'll tell my mom and sister. I know my sister wouldn't care, but I'm not sure about my 73 year old mom. She was awfully quiet when I came out as bi back in the day (I was and still am demi, but that wasn't a word back then) and she never brings up my ex gf. So I'm hesitant about revealing that the daughter she once knew was never actually there in the first place. Btw, personal question, but do you still misgender yourself here and there? I still do when I imagine folks referring to me, since that's all I've known and all I still hear, aside from my fiance. What helps you stay in the NB frame of mind?

[@dotdotdot...176]

Hi, I'm pansexual too and have been questioning my gender identity for some years now. I think I may identify with she/they pronouns. Anyway, I am proud of you. You are valid. And welcome to the community (even though you were already part of the community before you came out, I just don't know what other term to use than "welcome" to be... well, welcoming). I'm glad you are now able to live to your true self not just proudly but also openly (although there is nothing wrong with people not coming out either if they aren't ready, are still figuring it out or unfortunately don't have the supportive environment they should have or other factors.) And I don't know if this is true or not for your situation, but don't let anyone tell you that you are "in a phase" or "having a crisis" or that it was "too late" to come out or whatever. You are valid! The people who truly care about you will care about you all the same. (I'm sorry if this came across weird, I just want to show my supportiveness of you 😊)

The Netherlands is still in the process of figuring out what to use as a gender-neutral pronoun since they never existed in Dutch and non-binary people are only just getting visibility here. But as I was writing in Dutch a while back, I found myself creating my own Dutch neopronouns to refer to someone I met online because I knew they used they/them pronouns. It's really that simple to respect people's (lack of) gender and I hope others will realise that soon too

I speak a bit of German so I thought Dutch pronoun system would be pretty familiar, but I just looked it up and damn, it's definitely not and it's super interesting! I can see why the Netherlands is finding it tricky to decide on how to do gender-neutral personal pronouns. The thing about "haar-ziekte" is especially fascinating.

[@askialuna7717]

Only a small info: Non-Binary means not only lack of gender but in principle everything that is not assigned to, e.g. man and woman. If man and woman are two end poles of a scale e.g. 0 and 1 then 0.5 would also count as nonbinary so all those who define themselves in terms of gender between man and woman, both at the same time also belong to the Non-Binary category. And all others who are outside this Scala and have other categories for their gender identity and which persons have lack of gender. I am an agender myself and my identity does not include a gender, or I haven't found it :-).

[@nikverhoef]

@@Honk4frogs That's why I use die/(hun/)hen or hen/(hun/)hen (or z'r, or diens, though that's kind of old-fashioned), but I'm also curious what Dutch gender neutral pronouns other people have come up with (I've also heard of dei or dij as a sort of Dutch version of "they")

So now we both have our (in his case masculine and in my case more gender neutral) names in our chat app and other online apps.

You will need to do some things in a particular order (for example if you need your new ID to change your bank accounts you would need to do your ID first). I kept all of my documents in a file folder and I took that folder with me to every appointment. Even if they say they just need your ID you would be surprised how often having the court order or an additional document came in handy. You will discover things as you go, but here is a good starting list (not necessarily in this order): - ID / drivers license - Social Security - Passport / Immigration records - Birth certificate - Credit cards / bank accounts / loans / checkbooks - Phone plan / voicemail - Insurance (health, car, home) - Car titles - Doctors / Dentists / Pharmacies / Therapists (make sure you tell your relevant insurance FIRST and find out when you can start having providers file claims under your new name) - College (whether you are a current or former student, you want potential employers to be able to confirm any degrees you earned under your new name) - Online accounts (emails, social media, Amazon, anything that uses your credit card will need to be updated once you change that) - Employers / Landlords / Professors - Post office (if necessary, usually you can just change the label in your mail box) - Financial accounts / retirement accounts - Voter registration - Library cards - Mortgage companies - Club Memberships (Costco, etc.) This list is not exhaustive so if anyone has others to add, please do!

I don't know if it's actually true of all of France but I've spent a lot of time mulling over that potential cultural difference and how it can be summarized, and I think this comment echoes that basic idea very well.

Most trans and non-binary people know when someone has just made an honest mistake out of habit. The important thing is to not call attention to your mistake. Going "OMG I'M SO SORRY I'M SUCH A BAD PERSON I DIDN'T MEAN TO MESS UP." is just a bit awkward for everyone. The best thing to do is simply go, "sorry, I meant [correct pronouns]" and move on.

[@geekfreak2000]

As a scientist, I can confirm there are more than 2 sexes accepted in biology. Intersex individuals and individuals without sex organs exist and have since the dawn of time. Also an organisms' hormones and environment are far more important than the reproductive organs in function and expression of certain traits. Humans are no different, and tons of variation exists in nature too. Hyena females are one example ( if a bit extreme) in how the appearance of a living things sex organs don't mean diddly squat in the long run. Psychology and my field, Neuroscience ( yay for brains!) also absolutely have solid scientific evidence that in many animals, including humans, that there are more than just binary male and female. Mice without reproductive organs are often used to help confirm certain results and different hormones are being looked at to see why some subsets of people are less or more prone to certain disorders. The reproductive organs are really not that important in the grand scheme of things 🤷🏿‍♀️

Just want to pop in and say: You can be a "girl nonbinary" or "boy nonbinary", even if that doesn't entirely explain it. If your gender is both feminine -and- other, but not masculine, that is completely normal. Non-Binary is a very big umbrella group, and in addition to Non-Binary people, it also includes several subsects within it. Anyone who are not strictly "man" or "woman" fits into non-binary, whether they are Genderqueen, Genderfluid, Agender, Demi-, Neuter, etc! Still not a cool thing for someone to ask, but it is important to keep in mind.

[@coralovesnature]

I agree with what you said, but I think usually when (cis) people ask this, what they are really implying is "ok, I'll entertain your silly made-up gender, but I want to know what your genitals are". I'm sure you are already aware of those implications, but just wanted to point it out for anyone who is not familiar with why asking is rude.

Unfortunately, depending on where you live, the vast majority of society isn't even aware that non-binary is an option, so boy/girl is the first thing try to figure out about you. Although sometimes if people do think you're something other than cis I feel they are ruder to you. For example, when I go on walks in our neighborhood with my partner, I will smile and nod politely as we pass by people and a lot of people just scowl at me in a confused way rather than smile and nod politely back. My partner is also a large Native American man, so I'm never quite sure if their rudeness is because they think I'm a gay twink boy, they think I'm a mtf trans woman, they are racist against my partner, or they just have no social skills. Or if I am out on my own I kind of assume people think I'm a butch lesbian. Basically, everything except what I actually am, which is non-binary (afab), because only people who are involved in the LGBT+ community actually consider it as an option.

It's a recycled line. Every member of the LGBTQ+ community has been told at some point that their identity doesn't exist. The reason is that non-cishet people don't fit neatly into popular typologies (read: stereotypes and generalizations). I say ditch their categories, and be yourself.

@@erinwilford8486 no problem.

I thought I was nonbinary a few months ago but then I became okay with male pronouns and B R O was that my awakening as a demiboy recently. I'm fortunate to having a supportive mother but a devout Christian father, unfortunately, so coming out will be difficult. Wish me luck lol

if someone called me m'theydy i wouldnt know if they were being supportive or trying to offend me.

[@diegowolfe2744]

The M'they'de one was so heart warming!! Jamie my man please do some more Ace/Demi memes as I know we ace folks are even kept from certain LGBTQIA+++ spaces as we are not seen as LGBTQIA++ and not seen as Cis either... Not that I have ever felt that from this community the spuds are awesome and cool and amazing
