Happy International Non-binary (Agender) People’s Day! 🖤💜🤍💛🤍💜🖤

To celebrate international non-binary people’s day (July 14th) and nonbinary awareness week as an agender person, here is the agender nonbinary flag.

The black stripe in the original nonbinary pride flag indicates agender identities specifically, but shifting the flag format provides an explicit agender focus. Since agender is a subset of the broader nonbinary umbrella, it is possible simultaneously show both identities and identify with both to varying degrees. ����

Have an amazing week!

🖤💜🤍💛🤍💜🖤

Just a tad bit late but happy International Non-Binary Day to all those that identify under the non-binary umbrella!!

I hope all of you have had a great day today :]

That moment when gender roles are so ingrained in your psyche that the moment someone is nice to you and lovingly says people in the gay/queer/trans community are creating things for US, as in not just me but you too, makes you feel so excited you almost have an autistic meltdown from the feelings of gender euphoria …

You know … that completely normal feeling?

Or when you’re in a professional space and people actually respect your sensory needs and you’re like waiting for the other shoe to drop, and you suddenly realize that this is what working with other disabled people feels like and you want to cry because you’ve never felt seen because you’ve been masking for so damn long that you forgot who you were and what makes you happy.

You know … that other completely normal feeling?

Anyhow, Happy International Non-Binary People’s Day and Disability Pride Month …

Ya know … just in case anyone needed a reminder about why this is still necessary.

Happy International Non-Binary People’s Day everyone! I know this was technically yesterday (July 14), but I couldn’t finish it for then because I had a midterm and because I’m always late to everything.

I’ll admit, for non-binary awareness week and people’s day, I’ve only seen one post relating to it. I don’t know if it’s just my feed or if there’s generally less posts being made about it, but I will admit that either way I saw a similar trend happen with pride month both online and in person. Again, I don’t know if this is just a coincidence or if there less support going around, but I’m worried that it’s the second option, so I’m going to add a few extra words here of support for my fellow enbies.

To all the non-binary folks out there, especially to those who are in the closet and/or to those who don’t feel safe in life right now: I promise you that you will find people that will love and accept you for who you are, and life will get better for you. I can’t guarantee when or how, but I can tell you that it will because change is the only thing that will stay constant in life, and those changes have the potential to bring good things into life. While life is very difficult, please hold on, because again, it will get better.

I know this whole post probably makes me sound like a broken record player (and it probably doesn’t even make sense), but I’m very tired right now and need to sleep, so hopefully I’ll edit it in the morning. Hope y’all are doing well, and take care.

Happy International Non-binary People's Day

I have made a previous post about Non-binary awareness week explaining the term non-binary.

I have also said in that post that I would make posts about a few terms that fall under the non-binary umbrella. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to do this and only got one post out. If there are still any terms that you want me to explain or define, just ask and I will try to the best of my ability.

My Experience

Now that that's out of the way, I kind of want to go over my experience being non-binary.

I was assigned a female at birth(AFAB). I was quite young when I started to question things about myself. I was always told that certain things that I enjoyed were for boys. I always hung out around boys through elementary school. When I was in third grade, a little voice in the back of my mind told me I was a boy. I liked a lot of things that were supposed to be for boys and I hung out a lot of boys. In my mind, that made me a boy.

This thought process continued for most of the third grade. I mentioned it to my religious homophobic grandmother who ingrained into my mind to "not think like that, you were born a girl so you are a girl". That stuck with me up until the ninth grade. I didn't want to disappoint my family. I determined I was somewhere on the bi spectrum(later learned I was pan) by eighth grade after questioning for all of seventh grade.

I don't know how I came to the conclusion I was non-binary. I have some gender dysphoria which I didn’t realize was gender dysphoria until later(explained more later). I just decided to experiment with she/they pronouns. I loved the feeling of showing my masculine side and not being restricted by the identification of being a woman. Later, I decided to go by they/them and only use she/her with my family considering I don't think that would be very supportive.

I am very feminine for someone who identifies as non-binary, but that is totally okay. There is no one way a non-binary person can look. I’m also trying to make my family happy and fly under the radar for a few more years.

My friends know and they use the correct pronouns along with showing me support. Well, most of them. Others I haven’t told mostly because I don’t want to be annoying and I have to correct people. Hearing my preferred pronouns just feels right. I haven’t done any other forms of social transition like changing my name. I do use the online name of a Jayden or Jay. Honestly, I could go by either online or government name but I don’t want to go through the trouble with my family.

I do have gender dysphoria. My body doesn’t feel right, my face doesn’t feel right, my hair doesn’t feel right. My pronouns don’t feel right, the way I express myself doesn’t feel right. I thought this had to do with my body and the way I look, which it does but adding the extra context of gender. Some of this I have worked on. I’ve made steady changes to my wardrobe, taking on a style which feels more me rather than the skirts and dresses I used to have. I chopped my hair but not to the style I want and I have told some of my friends about my preferred pronouns. I can’t do anything medical because I can’t have my family knowing. I’m trying to survive as long as I can as who I am before the world starts to tell me no. I mean, it already has but I haven’t found myself in too much danger yet.

Anyway, that’s part of my story. All this to say that it’s okay to be non-binary, or gender fluid, or bi gender, or pan gender, or anything else under the non-binary and trans umbrella. I feel that I am part of a supportive community(most of the time) and I’m happy I found one.

Even though the world seems to be telling us no, there are still days like today where we can come out of the shadows and show our faces. Even if it’s just to the mysterious world of the internet where the reactions are too mixed to know if you’re going to get cursed at or floods of love. I try to show support when I can and so can you.

Thank you for reading my experience with being non-binary
