So I recently went to a convention and it was the first time none of my friends were there with me. Instead I was sharing a room with my younger sister and a bunch of her college friends, all of whom were queer (including me who is nb and my sister who is pan). It was such a nice experience for me I had never been in such a large group where everyone was queer and I learned afterwards that everyone used they/them pronouns for me even though I was introduced as "sister" and it was great actually

YAY, I’m happy for you!

It weirds me out that I am 100% about lgbt rights YET when I see artistic media like commercials and movies use gay characters as a plot twist to punch homophobes in the face it makes me cringe. idk why--it's empowering, but I just groan a little inside. Every other instance of lgbt characters don't make me groan, but it's only the "Plot Twist! LOOK IT'S A GAY" that makes me go eugh.

I kinda get where you are coming from, like they are just using something cliche. Instead of the gay being normal its DIFFERENT and used as an OH LOOOK ITS FREAKING GAY. The gay just should just already be there and be normal. I hope this made sense :)

My cousin just came out as trans to my mom and gave my mom permission to tell me and I want to like text him that I'm glad he trusts us and if he want to chat about gender I'm nonbinary but I also don't know what the protocol is for this? Like usually people tell me themselves and I know he gave my mom permission but we haven't talked in a while and I'm not sure how to start the conversation

I would just talk to him. Just tell him how you feel and I’m sure he will be supportive and really happy that he has someone to talk to.  Just say like: Well my mom told me you were trans, and I just wanted to say that I am to yadda yadda.

I BELIVE IN YOU FRIEND

mc'scuse me, bitch. This is a movement I can get with

So I've always felt uncomfortable in "overly feminine" clothing and I used to think it was because it's not made to suit my body shape so I look weird but after realizing I am nonbinary I'm wondering if this is actually dysphoria? I was never inclined to try "overly masculine" clothing either and thought this was because I was a cis female. However when cosplaying or playing a character in theater I am totally comfortable in any kind of clothing. Idk I'm just kind of confused

I do a lot of theater too and I have always been fine with playing a character with very feminine clothes and I think it is because I know that they are just a character and nobody can figure out anything about me from a character that I portray. And it totally could be a part of dysphoria, everyone experiences dysphoria in a different way and this could definitely be a part of the way you experience it.

I checked, and there doesn't seem to be anything on something called "androgyne" I had just learned about, and thought it would fit me (tho now that I've thought about it, demiboy fits me best). Androgyne is an identity where someone feels masc and fem at the same time. Would you consider that different from bigender, or a synonym?

Sooooo, I’m not an expert on androgyne or bigender, but I have looked a little more into it and I am gonna give this my best shot. If we have any followers who are androgyne or bigender I would love some input/feedback. I think they are very similar. The difference is that bigender is feeling male and female, androgyne is feeling masculine and feminine. Rember that male doesn’t equal masculine and female doesn’t equal feminine. Androgyne is like androgynous, something that is both feminine and masculine. Bigender is just like having two genders ( it doesn’t have to be 50/50, you could be 25% F and 75% M and still be bigender, you could also feel agender or another non-binary gender as one of your two genders. But bigender would only be two genders, if you identify with (or feel like) three genders, you would be multigendered. I hope this helps.

Sometimes I think what is my gender actually and all I get is ?????

I feel, I feel, it’s totally normal, and there is a word based of your gender fleeing you if you try too hard to think about it. I can’t remember it off the top of my head but I will get back to you as soon as possible. :)

Remember that lots of guys need boy-dy positive stuff too

So I had a friend for several years and we kind if helped each other figure out we were both asexual and nonbinary but then they turned out to be a colossal ahole and cut me off so now I have nobody to talk about this stuff with I have only one other friend and they're bi and cis and I don't really know what to do now. I don't know why I'm sending this here I'm just kind of lost I guess

Well this is a good place for lost nonbinary’s cause guess what I have a GPS so yeah its really late and this is already getting weird but if you ever need anyone to talk to about it you can IM me on my private blog (or off anon on this blog and i will private reply) and I will talk to you if you need it cause I love you and I want to give you hugs because yeah friends can be a-holes.

why ask a trans person their birth name when you could:

not do that

I feel like my relationship with my boobs as a nonbinary individual is more "I'm used to having boobs and not having them would feel kinda weird" than "I enjoy having boobs and desire to keep them forever." is this common?

oooooooo, I feel I feel, I'm like that sometimes too, don’t worry, I don’t think its uncommon :)

reminder to all my mixed poc and poc trans kids that even if on tdov only skinny white “androgynous” trans kids were getting their selfies to thousands of notes, you are valid, and you are so important
