#non binary guy

[rage-against-the-cistem]

"straight passing privilege" is not a thing when you are a non binary dude. people straight up think i'm a gay dude and i think they do apply that judgement to most femme looking or androgynous t guys. I'm not. stop it. not even in the umbrella sense, stop it. calling me a twink is already a yellow light deal, don't abuse it. i'm tired. its dysphoric being called gay.

i’m a guy, but i’m a mom friend. i say this not because of gender roles but because i’m exactly like my mother (i’m proud of this)

i’m not comfortable coming out in person because of the inevitable powerpoint, but i think i’ve finally realized that i’m a he/him nonbinary guy

it took a long time because i get indescribably uncomfortable when people call me they (other people using they is fine but i just hate how it feels on me), and i thought they/them or some neopronoun was required to be nonbinary. but after talking with a friend about it and thinking about it for a couple days it feels right

it’s a big part of my identity that i’m gnc, and while being called a man feels good, something about it doesn’t quite fit. guy is perfect for me though

so i’m a nonbinary guy, he/him only. i don’t want to go by my real name here, so feel free to call me lou or gandalf like before

so no pronoun change, just an acknowledgment of my own identity. thank you to the nonbinary community here and to my irl friend for being so informative and supportive

- lou (he/him)

I just saw a “women only wear makeup to appease/ appeal to men” take mentioned in passing

Haven’t seen those chucklefucks in a while, thankfully

I only started playing around with makeup in my early/ mid 20’s

My blorbo in eeby deeby, I was rocking raccoon emo eyeshadow for Christmas Eve dinner at my family’s

Who was I wearing that for when my parents actually gave me the side-eye to the tune of “you look stupid, why are you doing this?”?

Seriously, who else of not me was I wearing that for?

[neverlove-anchor]

I have a very personal beef with parents being super weird about gender norms, which is also really ironic

I know a lot of afab ppl that have really chill parents. Who let them play with whatever they wanted and dress however they wanted

Unlike them, I was raised in a "no boy things allowed" environment. No boy clothes, no boy toys, not too many boy friends, not too many boy colors. The only times when I got "boy stuff" (a blue tracksuit and a Ben 10 backpack) I got bullied relentlessly. Cutting my hair implicated a 2 year negotiation. I was constantly scolded for not being girly enough etc. etc.

Guess which one is trans?

Me

It's almost like raising trans kids in strongly gendered environments won't make them cis and raising young girls in more gender inclusive/neutral ones only raises your chances to get women more secure in their own femininity

Nonbinary guy culture is relating to sooooo many male aligned genders
