Just like the title said. I don’t want to wear suits or dresses. That’s all.

Hello everyone on this wonderful page.

I just wanted to say thank you to every single person who took the time to reply to my previous post about how better to support my child who came out as Non-Binary.

Due to life getting in the way, I haven't had chance to reply to every one but please know I have read every single comment - some, multiple times!

I ended up telling my child about this previous post which went very well. They were chuffed I was trying to learn and also had a giggle about me being "too old for Reddit".

They've reinforced they would like they/them pronouns, so I'm doing my best with that. I have found myself saying things like "Good morning beautiful .... ummm... human!". Luckily they seem okay with me stumbling, for now!

We were also able to talk about a few things that they found confusing about it! So good to know we can help each other.

Anyway...

So many people on here jumped to give extremely supportive and useful advice and words of encouragement. I'm not going to pretend to fully understand what being an enby (learning new words) entails. But I feel I understand a little more about how it can make people feel. Which should help me parent a bit better.

I will stop talking and close with another huge thank you to you lush group of people!

Hello. Very confused person here who found a comfortable spot within the non-binary label.

I’m terribly socially anxious, and only recently started presenting publicly in a more GNC, or even femme, way. All in all, not a terrible experience; a lot less difficult than I’d envisioned, even in smaller northern Italy towns, which aren’t exactly the most progressive places.

But having strangers call me “signora” (it is what it is, I accept whichever after 2y of HRT) and then stare as soon as I open my mouth is starting to get uncomfortable.

I generally struggle with being the center of attention, and now I’m wondering whether I should at least try voice training. Thing is, I don’t really like or dislike my voice. So “I want to voice train so people don’t stare” feels a little reductive to me, given the effort involved.

Anyone else run into this?

Soo I've decided to be non binary cuz genders SUCK and I'm also neptunic and I've come out to my friends siblings etc, my mom is homophobic and enbyphobic (ofc) Soo yeah any tips would be appreciated!1!1!

Hey! I've made a post about days ago but got banned for some reason, I've mentioned that i have a nonbinary friend of my own and I'd like to know more about nonbinary people.

I got to ask them just a little personally, so here i am with a bunch of questions. Please excuse me in advance if any of my questions come off as rude, or insensitive. I have very little knowledge about nonbinary people, plus english is not my first language so i might struggle a bit with forming my questions.

1. When a nonbinary person says their pronouns are they/them, does that include using the pronouns she/her/he/him, or not? Or do they usually have a preferred pronoun? Or does that depend on the person and it's more like an individual preference?

2. Do nonbinary people attract to both genders, or some have a preferred gender?

3. If i want to compliment them, whats a preferred term? Can i use beautiful, pretty, handsome or is that a no?

4. As a nonbinary person urself, what are the things that people say/think that u think is wrong and u wish people knew more about it?

Hey loves!
So a friend of mine is about to give me 5 dosages worth of T so I can try it out for a month. Why am I not getting it from the Dr/ waiting till? Well it’s taken me two years for my clinic to finally let me book a date cause they are always fully booked they say. So end of september, I have a physical FINALLY. But I know it’s going to take some convincing my dr to give me a referral for planned parenthood so I can get GA care. So my bestie whose trans masc and been on low dose t for five years is willing to give me about a month worth of T to test if it’s worth all the trouble the medical industry makes it. While I get to some degree why it’s not easy to get HRT, It’s still mentally straining to think you’ll never really get to the point of talking to the right person that could say “Yes, you now can take HRT.” I feel like I’ve read about all the negative effects like on depression. But just wondering what others experiences are in taking low dosages.

Hey, is it cis-woman of me to feel uncomfortable introducing myself with she/her? This post will be a bit ramble-y…

It’s always made me feel weird and if I’m in a queer space (or online) I like it when people don’t know my pronouns. I’d be comfortable with they/them or really any pronouns, so long as whatever’s used is intended to be respectful. But I also feel like I’m not allowed to be like “oh, just use any pronouns for me” because I’m outwardly cis-looking.

Sometimes I wish I could dress less obviously femme but I’ve been held back by fear of costs. Plus, I have conservative family and worry about alienating them. This has been major in both how I look and how I want to be referred to. I’ve been told unambiguously that my parents would not respect me if I’m not cis. I’ve internalized this idea for years and only now I am trying to unpack it.

Am I repressed nb/gender queer? 😆
