The Amazing Digital Non-binary Rep!!!!

[panicloser]

Y'know which show surprises me the most with its lack of non-binary characters?

Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss

To be clear! This isn't an attack on either of the shows by any means, obviously a show doesn't have to have a non-binary character in it, you should write them only if you want to instead of forcing representation they clearly didn't naturally write, I am not picking a bone

I am just saying like if I hadn't watched either of these shows and you presented me a line up of a bunch of animated shows with my knowledge of their reputation and asked me which one would most likely have an enby character in it, I would say Hazbin or Helluva

cuz everyone knows that their casts of characters are like 99% queer, you could probably count the amount straight people in each show on one hand, and they all look like a bunch of androgynous creatures that I would kill to look like

But then there is just genuinely no enbys to be found at all anywhere LMAO 😭

it's genuinely funny and a tad puzzling

But oh well 🤷 maybe someday who knows :)

“When you know what you need, what your body needs, you feel this urgency with it. That’s how I knew. Once you know the right thing, every minute you don’t do it feels wrong.”

—Anna-Marie McLemore, Lakelore. (60% audiobook)

This is such an accurate description of a feeling I had such a hard time putting into words before. What feels right just feels right and you know it. I knew it.

Trans men and trans masc people can be: short, feminine, curvy, high voiced, have interests that are 'atypical' to strict masculinity as well as typical interests, cute, have long hair etc

Trans women and trans femme people can be: tall, broad, into typical and 'atypical' feminine interests, deep voiced, strong, short haired, gruff, flamboyant, effeminate etc

Neutral people can be: short, short haired, afab, 'masc' dressed, not much into 'feminine' things etc

BUT when you only target these kinds of characters for trans canon or headcanon, it may be important to question wether they've become stereotypes, possibly negatively so.

These kind of people are as likely to be trans or non-binary as people exactly the opposite or in the middle.

So basically, it's fine to have characters like this as trans/non-binary but even if you're not cis yourself you should challenge why we see these kinds of people as not cis, but rarely or never treat the opposite (or middling) type of person the same way. It's also important to acknowledge that people can be cis and gnc but that's a separate post.

Thank you for explaining agender, I've been wondering for a while! And I guess this question too, uhhh, what does it mean to be a nonbinary gay? I'm uhh just confused because gay for a girlfriend makes it seem like one considers themself a girl too? It's confused me for a while. I really really hope this question doesn't come across as offensive. Thank you.

You’re welcome! Happy to help!

And I’m not sure. I guess it depends on your biological sex? If you were born a female and are dating a woman, then that could be non binary gay? Or maybe it’s just a joke term. I’m not sure, I’ve never heard that one before. Or maybe both people are non binary together! Just partners bein’ pals!

If anyone knows this answer, please do tell. I don’t wanna assume any more than I already have. ^^;

They/them is simply a pronoun. Anyone can use they/them pronouns, and nonbinary people don't have to use them, either. As for NB people being gay? I think it's really up to the individual and how they feel? It can be complicated, as nonbinary is an umbrella term that covers many identities, and isn't just a "third gender". So everyone has a different experience.
