What I would say to people who are unfamiliar with nonbinary identities or who want to be allies to the nonbinary community during Nonbinary Awareness Week (Part 1 maybe???)
(Image description: 10 images with an off white background, the images are bordered by purple and yellow flowers and green leaves, every image has purple text with information about nonbinary identities above smaller green text that says "Nonbinary Awareness Week 2020".
The purple text on the images reads:
1) "To be nonbinary means to have a gender identity outside of the socially constructed male and female binary."
2) "In other words, a nonbinary person is an individual whose gender identity is neither exclusively or entirely man nor woman."
3) "Some nonbinary people experience their gender as fluid and changing, some have more than one gender, and others have no gender at all".
4) "The term nonbinary is only one of the many words that exist to describe genders outside the binary. Other gender identity terms include genderqueer, agender, and genderfluid".
5) "Nonbinary people are everywhere, we are a part of every community. There are many simple ways to support the nonbinary people in your life".
6) "Respect a nonbinary person's chosen name, use the correct pronouns, use gender neutral language, and work to make the spaces in your community gender neutral and inclusive."
7) "There is no one way to be nonbinary and every nonbinary person's experience is unique. Some people medically transition and some do not, some change their names and some do not".
8) "Many nonbinary people have other marginalized identities as well. Center the voices of multiply marginalized nonbinary people, especially nonbinary people of color and nonbinary disabled people."
9) "Transphobia and cissexism have harmful impacts on the lives of nonbinary people. Challenge trans and nonbinary exclusionism wherever you encounter them. Silence is complicity."
10) "Listen to and amplify nonbinary voices. Nonbinary people are the experts on our own lives and experiences.")
