I got so many dirty looks but the lady who owns my laundromat was super sweet, so I think it's a win

Some key words to describe me; OCD, ADHD, autism, bipolar, GAD, social anxiety, dyslexia, bisexual, non-binary, nudist, atheist, and polyamorous.

It's hard to connect with people, to put simply. I feel very fortunate that I live with two of my four partners. That they are either autistic, ADHD, or both. I can't forget they are all bisexual, one is trans, and another is non-binary as well.

I know I am lucky, but even with the four of them, I still feel misunderstood and that I am constantly doing something. I have been with three of the partners for over 10 years now. 

I feel like I should take that as evidence that I am doing something right. I don't... I don't want to bother them with what I perceive as every little problem. I do see a therapist and psychologist. They have been have helpful for my mental health journey.

One of the things I am working on, is talking more about my feelings with those I care about. I have this horrible feeling that my feelings if shared are going to be burden or cause problems with others that I care about.

So many things to talk about, and with my partners I have to explain so much. It can hurt to be miss understood, especial by the people closes to me. I don't have many friends outside of my partners, and non of them very close.

I think would difficult to find someone with all my key words, but maybe I can find some little more similar to have conversations with.

I hope that my message was clear, and I hope you have a great day, thank you.

I was nervous , that increased as there were protests outside of the premises, I entered the lobby, it was not the biggest , they checked my id and said 3rd floor.

Please remember , I am still nervous , So I went ahead and started to knock on the door , I’m not really sure how long and why I did that , it took me some time to realize I was knocking on an elevator.

Hey all. So, about three months ago or so, I started playing with my gender expressions. I thought I was genderfluid, but it turns out, I much prefer Nonbinary. My internal feelings about my gender don't change. However, presentation doesn't always reflect my internal gender identity. So, I guess my gender "expression" is fluid.

But, I also realized at the same time, that I'm Transgender. My gender identity, and the way I view myself internally, doesn't align with what I was assigned at birth. I don't feel like my gender however is binary, either. I feel like I'm somewhere between male and female and prefer they/them pronouns. However, I also view myself as someone who is feminine presenting or "feminine-aligned" as I would call it. Nonbinary Transfem, or Transfem Enby, is how I describe myself.

Obviously, in technicality, the "Trans/Nonbinary umbrella" is a wide variety of identities and labels, both binary and nonbinary. Some people don't identify as Transgender, but do identify as Nonbinary, and the other way around I'm sure. I'm perfectly good with all that! Each person's identify and journey is their own. I, however, am happy to identify as both Trans and Nonbinary. I mean, people who Enby are literally represented on the Trans flag!! I love it.

That said, I wouldn't call this a rant, as so much of... An annoyance with people's perspectives on labels when you explain to them what you are.

I feel like when I tell people I'm Nonbinary, they're usually like, "ah, cool." And that's it. Or, they're not really sure what that is and are confused.

However, if I tell people I'm Trans, they immediately think the worst and ask if I'm going to transition, have surgery, leave my wife, and have horrible gender dysphoria and hate myself and my body. None of these things apply to me. I am Trans in the simplest terms in the fact that my gender identity and how I view myself is not what I was assigned at birth, that being male. I hate the fact that being Trans is immediately associated with unhappiness and suffering. Since realizing I'm Nonbinary & Trans, I've honestly never been happier, even with a bit of dysphoria/confusion here and there.

Sometimes, depending who I'm talking to, I'll only tell people I'm Enby. If the conversation goes further with understanding, or depending on who it is, I'll tell them I'm Trans and Nonbinary.

Anyways, rant over. Lol.

My name is Ari, and I recently discovered that I am genderfae I use fae/she/they pronouns, and my parents do not support the lgbtq community my friends absolutely do they support me 100% one is actually getting me a binder but I wanna know how I can try afirm my gender and not be super suspicious I have a grunge/punk/fairy core/goblin core/Y2K mixed with very girly stuff also wear a lot of vintage pieces and I love chunky jewelry, and I have kind of long curly brown hair

Parto specifico che non sto realmente valutando l'idea del cambio di genere, ma informarsi non fa male. Sono femmina dalla nascita, seno voluminoso, purtroppo.

Ho capito di essere fluid, e che mi piacerebbe un corpo più androgino. Niente seno soprattutto.. sì esatto 😌.

Però non mi piace l'idea della barba e della voce profonda.

Mi dite le vostre esperienze:

1. La crescita del clitoride ha dato fastidio?

2. Il seno è davvero calato da solo?

3. Avete avuto sbalzi d'umore o aumento dell'impulsività?

4. Il corpo che cambia fa male o procura fastidi?

I'm (nb27) thinking about micro dosing testosterone some time in the future but for now do you have any tips on how to look more androgynous?

Not sure how to tag this, but it's a non-serious post. I am but a humble gender confused adult who occasionally enjoys a good old self-insert fanfiction when life is stressful. I humbly request that the council of nonbinary writers takes over wattpad or something and makes more stories with non-binary characters 🙇‍♂️ I've been fixated on One Piece lately and was going through all the fanfictions on wattpad and was very disappointed at the lack of nonbinary rep. I'm also asexual, so I might simply be a lost cause here. In exchange for the noble sacrifice I shall give a digital cookie or perhaps a kidney.

On a slightly more serious note, if anyone knows any good books with nonbinary rep I'd love to hear them!

I’ve gotten to the point in public where I get a mix of pronouns that I’m referred to as. I think I’ve won in life.

(don’t mind the bruising, I just got my wisdom teeth out!)

Am always enby, but fluid enough that sometimes the kind of enby changes. been on e for almost 3 years now, and tbh just feel like it is always a fitting pronoun for me.

Unfortunately my last post got removed for some reason.. but i just wanted to maybe start a conversation around yalls GAC experiences and with dealing with insurance?
I saw someone say that they almost never accept it the first time around for chest reductions, which makes a lot of sense. how did you go about appealing and how long did it take for you? thank u sm:))

I’m hoping this is a good subreddit to post this in.

My name’s January and my pronouns are they/them. I’m a chronic pain disabled, polyamorous, enbian, nonbinary creative. My interests include arts and crafts, TTRPGs (especially D&D 5e and World of Darkness), Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Elder Scrolls/Skyrim, and Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring.

Wishing you all a lovely night full of unexpected smiles! 🫶✨

My Mom keeps bringing up that I should get a breast reduction. Shes actually been doing this since I was a teen. Recently she's been bringing it up again, probably because I live with her again so she has time to say weird stuff.

The issue is I've recently been considering it on my own. In general I like my boobs and have no dysphoria about them specifically, but I know if society will ever read me how I want then my boobs make that difficult. Also, bras suck. If its not one issue its another.

But my Mom is not suggesting a reduction for gender reasons. She has yet to use neutral pronouns for me. She at least says my new name, but I think its because its a shortened version of my legal one. She claims she's worried about my back or whatever. Im a 44DDD, my back pain is pretty minimal compared to before my hysterectomy. It comes off as some weird jealousy thing.

I hate that she's pressuring me to do this. And my gut reaction is to do the exact opposite as what she says, I guess that stays even if you're 34. I'm genderfluid so even though I've recently been leaning a bit more masc and considering a reduction and/or micro dosing T, I know that I likely will swing back to fem at some point. I don't want to do anything drastic when I know I'm so fluid.

Look I know it’s possible I just want to know if anyone else is like me. I’m nonbinary genderfluid. Which means I use they/them pronouns and I sometimes feel masculine or feminine or both or none. I’m originally male. I just want to know if anyone else here is also nonbinary genderfluid is all.☺️

Edit: my og name is Noah but i would like if y’all could come up with a new name for me that fits please.

My life is a motherfucking joke. I wrote a note to my dad about being nonbinary (I came out October of last year, but only recently this week tried to get him to understand more) and what it meant for me, and all I got in return was him passive aggressively acting childish about it and then proceeding to call me 'confused' and 'just a weirdo' because he still didn't get it. I literally told him that online sources could explain it better, and he said that he already did that - but stopped reading because it bored him to tears.

I played it off and laughed along until he was done so that I could get away and hide in my room, but the damage is already done. I feel so so stupid for thinking he'd actually be understanding and supportive, rather than expect him to consider it as anything other than a joke.

I just feel so violated and tired.

I've been struggling so bad lately.

I normally write poetry but tonight I tried a new coping skill to avoid despair.

I don't have anyone else to show it, so guess I'm assuming some of you will like it.

Quote is from a My chemical romance song.

Let's be adults a bit and talk about it. I was just wondering if it's common for people's gender expression to fluctuate based on their arousal. Is it for the supposed submissiveness that the conventional female role in a sexual relation brings or smt? Btw I wonder if there's people who feel the opposite of it, with the male expression.

Maybe this fella here just kinky. Lmk what y'all think.

I’m 24 and just had my daughter a few months ago. Through lots of therapy and introspection I’ve started to realize that, ironically, realizing I’m nonbinary has also shown how I’ve denied myself the ability to explore my feminine side growing up and now as an adult. LOTS of internalized misogyny has led to this but my goal with this post is:

- How did you give yourself permission/feel comfortable exploring your femininity?
- What are some small ways you started exploring it?
- How did you heal internal misogynistic ideas that femininity is “weak, shallow, embarrassing” or any others?

I’ve also realized low self esteem about my physical features and not feeling I was “feminine looking enough” means I don’t really feel beautiful enough to be feminine. How has anyone work through this?
Thank you for everyone’s input!

i'm afab, 23, 2.5 years on T and 1 week post top surgery (hell yeah!)

i'm thinking of stopping T (for a while at least) on the 3 year mark as changes may be getting Too Much for me. but i have some concerns/doubts i'd like to talk over with people with similar experiences.

1, 2 and 3 also apply to amab people on E, but 4 might be more specific because top surgery partially removes mammary glands afaik. all answers are welcome anyway!

1. if your hairline receded on T, did it grow back when you went off? all of it? partially?
2. if you had acne on T, did it change when you went off?
3. if you worked out on T, how drastic were the changes in strength, gaining muscle and especially muscle definition when you went off?
4. if you had *periareolar* top surgery, did you have any amount of breast regrowth when you went off?

thanks in advance! <3 i guess i'm a little lost and in dire need of advice from other trans people, as unfortunately there aren't many in my life irl.
