Non-Binary And Intersex NOW

he/she, they/them, zhe/hir | Anti-Binary Action NOW!

[nonbinarynow]

Introduction

(note: this introduction is subject to change. Apr 2025)

You can call me R. My pronouns are he/she, or they/them, or zhe/hir. Pick a set and stick to it. My "about me" is below the cut. Here is my pronouns page. Here is a great resource masterlist for nonbinary transitioning (yes, it's possible, and done very often!)

I am here to help those outside the binary show those within binary systems show that we deserve liberation. We are suppressed and oppressed by the bourgeois gender and sex binaries, leading to many issues such as exclusion, a lack of civil rights due to legal invisibility, exorsexism, intersexism, targeted violence, corrective surgery, not knowing our community history, corrective SA, internalised oppression and so much more. We deserve better because we are human and we are beautiful. We show that there is a life and a world outside of these binaries, these binaries are not the be all end all of human existence, never have been and never will be.

This blog is multifaceted with specific focus on lives outside of gender/sex binary, our communities and our issues. There will be nonbinary theorising and promotion of others' theory too.

Since I assume myself to be perisex, I will not make any posts myself about intersex experiences, and will only reblog from intersex liberationists. If anyone wishes to submit specifically Intersex NOW posts, they can do so though my submissions box.

↓ About Me ↓

I am Black.

I only fluently speak English.

I am British.

I assume I am perisex.

I am an ambonec bigender person; both an androgyne and neutrois.

Despite this, I mainly identify with my androgyne identity.

I experience dysphoria and hope to transition.

I am trixic, specifically venusian.

I am a Marxist Leninist

I believe in Anti binary action and liberation.

I believe in the inherent allyship between all those outside of the binary. (mainly intersex and nonbinary communities)

I believe nonbinary oppression is inherently rooted in class struggle and cannot be seperated from it, as the gender & sex binaries originate as bourgeois tools of colonial division and suppression.

we need less “trans women/men should be allowed in women’s/men’s spaces” and more “gender segregated spaces are inherently sexist and transphobic, and we should replace them with gender neutral spaces”

[mx-macintosh]

swear to god i'm gonna start saying "nonbinary and anonbinary people" to refer to the entire trans umbrella the same way people say "transmascs and transfems"

[mx-macintosh]

i think if you ever say "trans men and women" instead of "trans people" you should be killed with hammers on the spot

[mx-macintosh]

wild how some people will go "all nonbinary characters rn are afab i can tell by the way they look" and not understand how blatantly transphobic they're being

[mx-macintosh]

assuming nonbinary people are "eggs" that will end up binary trans is bigoted, by the way

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

I'm gonna start saying "especially non binary ppl" when talking about trans issues. Trans people are really struggling, especially non binary ppl, because we're treated like jokes and freaks in our own communities. I'm kind of sick and tired of things being "especially" about everyone else but us

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

Non binary people are treated like the scapegoats of the trans community, everything is our fault. We're too loud, to assertive, too annoying, too cringe. Too out there, we are visibly trans a lot of the time, and that pisses people the fuck off because we like it and it's a part of our gender identity and expression. We are just as oppressed and face just as much violence as everyone else

[soulsartuniverse]

#passing refers to making our transness invisible

I am NOT letting you leave this in the tags prev it is so true. Non binary people cant pass because there is no way to pass for us. Passing as ANY GENDER is getting misgendered because it means others assuming we're binary people, and we're not.

One of the first feelings of dysphoria I got was the feeling of "everyone else will perceive me as a binary gender first and there is nothing I can do about it" and I wanted to stop existing at all, to stop having a body and stop being perceived so no one would dictate my identity for me.

Non binary people arent taken seriously on our own oppression, in talking about trans issues we're an afterthought, because if they cant categorize us then they refuse to talk about us. Binary people, cis and trans, get annoyed when we add onto a conversation with our non binary perspective, when we ask to be included in their talks about trans liberation and fighting against gender essentialism. We complain too much and we're too weird and too cringe, we cant use terms like transfem and transmasc without everyone assuming we're basically binary trans people, and binary trans people are so busy pitting transfem and transmasc as opposites while also saying "oh but we include non binary people!" No you dont, your inclusion is only for monogender enben whose gender is static and aligned with the binary. Because talking about only the existance of transfem and transmasc as two opposite exclusive sides is exorsexist as hell.

And dont get me started on how we dont fucking have LANGUAGE, there are so many languages that have no pronouns or neutral words to refer to people, existing in your native country means being misgendered.

We're either misgendered and invisible or misgendered and hypervisible. And people love to either act like we dont exist, or like we're basically binary cis or trans so there's no need to put effort in accounting for us.

💛🤍💜🖤

Nonbinary love is beautiful and possible, diamory, ceterosexuality and enbianism is wonderful! Nonbinary self love is powerful, wonderful and should be practiced by every enban. Being non-binary is amazing, and loving enbiness is something to be celebrated!

You can be loved and be non-binary. You can be loved by others, both binary and nonbinary. You deserve to love yourself as an enban.

You can love nonbinary people! Nonbinary t4t is amazing!! Binary x NB love is wonderful!! Enbian love is an amazing thing, and far more needed in this world. It's okay to define your attraction to enben! Attraction to enben specifically is not fetishisation, that claim is absurd. Is it fetishisation to be attracted to men and/or women?

Celebrate your nonbinary and genderqueer self, partners, friends and family! Love them for who they are, and celebrate the love you share with them!

💛🤍💜🖤

You don’t have to ‘pass’ in order to deserve people respecting your gender

[howling-wizard]

[Image Description: three painting of three different people

the first is a thin Black person with glasses and curly shoulder length hair pulled back partially into a ponytail. They are wearing a tshirt and jeans and a long cardigan striped with the colours of the nonbinary flag. They are looking down at a little bird that is saying, “Did you know there’s more than two genders? Life is amazing and wondrous and people are amazing and wondrous!”

The second person is a fat person with glasses, light skin, and long black hair. Theyre bangs are partially clipped to the side with two little purple barrettes. They are wearing a purple tshirt tucked into a tutu coloured in the same way as the nonbinary flag. Their arms are held up and there is a flock of brown birds perched on their arms saying, “Gosh dang, I wish we had such an awesome gender like yours. Nothing’s better than being a nonbinary person. A pity we are just birds.”

The third person is a thin person with tanned skin and short white hair that flops just below their eye. They are sitting in a wheelchair with their cheek resting on one hand smiling at a bird. They are wearing a black tshirt, burgundy pants, and a scarf coloured with the nonbinary flag. They bird is saying, “Someones insistence that you don’t exist speaks more about them than about you. What’s next? They’ll go outside and start shaking their fist at the sun in anger?” End Description]

Recent studies show that all nonbinary people are stunning and beautiful

[nonbinarynow]

A story like Nex Benedict's makes you think. It makes you think of all the enben and enbies who are visible and androgynous or neutrally presenting. It makes you think about how they won't ever blend in, and how that makes them a target. It makes you think, what if that's me? It makes you think... they have killed one of us, how many of us have been killed or wrought to die? It makes you think, the account banning of a binary trans woman overshadowed completely the real death of a real enby in the real world. It makes you think, no one called this a crime of exorsexism, but they binarised Benedict and made it a crime of transandrophobia. It makes you think, if it were me, if I were the one that was killed for being non-binary, would they go through such efforts to binarise me when the news got out? Would they make such efforts to find out my assigned sex? Would they make such efforts to overshadow my death, or would it be effortless?

It makes you think, how many were there? How many of us have died like this? And how many were slated as cis, how many as binary trans? How many were completely overshadowed? How many times did people fight to not call it exorsexism? How many visibly GNC nonbinary people are on the scoreboard? How much longer until it's me? How much longer after that until it's not me anymore, it's the binary person they have flattened me into?

[nonbinarynow]

How the sex binary is inseparable from the gender binary.

[nonbinarynow]

"girl/boy is gender neutral in my vocabulary!" yeah well what if in the world it actually isn't and also I don't fucking care, stop calling me that!

“What would happen if gender creativity was celebrated, not punished? If trans people were seen as a gift to those around them, prompting them to reflect on their own genders and lives too?”
