You can also have the Sphere be any gender you want, not only because the character is public domain but because canonically, the narrator never bothered to ask, and just assumes that the Sphere is a man who uses he/him pronouns because of his own biases.

The same way the King of Lineland assumed the narrator was a woman who used she/her pronouns.

In Lineland, Straight Lines are considered men. In Flatland, Straight Lines are considered women. This is a very blatant challenge to everything the narrator views as self-evident, and a challenge for the readers as well.

There's no reason you have to go along with the narrator's assumptions about the Sphere's gender. He never asked, and he had many opportunities to do so.

The King of Lineland assumed the narrator was a woman. The narrator assumed the Sphere was a man. We know that one of them is blatantly wrong, and Edwin Abbot Abbot did that on purpose. So why assume that the other one is right?

my lil contribution to intentional nonbinary peoples day 🤍✨️

[ID: A swirly background with the flag colours of the nonbinary flag - yellow, white, purple and black - as the background to all slides. Purple text reads; What even is... cisgender nonbinary? Background by xrainestormx (pinterest).

The Basics. Cisgender Nonbinary isn't the most well-known identity, so it's not a shock that many people have no idea what this label means, or how a person could be cisgender and nonbinary - especially since transgender nonbinary is a far more common identity.

Gender Neutral Parenting. Overtime, the idea of raising your children outside of a gendered environment - including not labelling them as male or female and not using gendered pronouns - has gotten more popular, especially amongst gender diverse parents. These children, raised with no gender, are now growing up and finding themselves in a unique position - cisgender nonbinarism!!

Assigned Not-Your-Business At Birth. For some people, they view their assigned gender as irrelevant. They are nonbinary because they always have been, regardless of assigned sex or gender they were raised as. Identifying as transgender may not feel right, because it feels less like transitioning and more like... existing how they always have.

Intersex Nonbinaries. While the idea that intersex people are "cis nonbinary" is a misconception - some intersex people do identify this way. Due to their intersex variation, identity, or whatever reason they may have, they view their sex as nonbinary and therefore cisgender nonbinary feels most comfortable.

CisTrans and Unlabelled. Not every nonbinary person with fit conveniently into the cis or trans boxes. Some will feel their identify lays somewhere outside these two boxes, or mixes within it. CisTrans is an identity slowly clawing its way into common knowledge, as are unlabelled nonbinary folk.

Respect Cisgender Nonbinary People. End ID]

maverism: the radical notion that maveriques are people. /reference

[amalias-whatsoever]

the genderfluid experience is not understanding the concept of non-binarism until you do and understanding the concept of binarism until you don't

[PT: Nonbinarist Flag. End PT]

Nonbinarist Flag

Based on flags of feminism and masculism, using non-binary symbol colored with yellow in front of two stripes of green and purple. 

Nonbinarism: advocacy of the rights and needs of nonbinary people and enbies/xents. A movement of non-binary pals and folks. Similar to abinarism/abinarist, neutrist/neutrism, (gender)queerism/(gender)queerist, gender centrism and neutralism/neutralist, but this one exists independently/autonomously.

"I'm too special to be just a woman" has got to be the most annoying form of female nonbinarism they've come up with.

years ago i considered myself a feminist in the sense of fighting for everyone who is oppressed and targeted by the patriarchy, but people have shown me time and time again that feminism doesn't have a space for people like me. even their transgender inclusion tends to only focus on transgender women, despite the rest of us also being oppressed by the patriarchy. and too often we're misgendered and pretty much expected to give up part of us to be included in feminism. it's like we are only allowed in if we're women-lite. many claim to be transgender-inclusive but still use incredibly binary language and erase transgender and intersex men altogether, and that is something i will not stand by. too many feminists (especially cis women, but some nonbinary people too unfortunately) will talk about men in a completely undifferentiated way that erases any struggles that transgender and intersex men have under the patriarchy. not to mention how they're "transgender-inclusive" until it comes to people they deem "too masculine" to be considered "safe" people. i've seen time and time again that feminism doesn't seem to be for people who never touched womanhood or for people who ever touched manhood (and by "touching" a gender i mean "has ever lived as/has been seen as a gender"), even if many are affected by the patriarchy in similar ways to but also unique ways from cisgender perisex women.

this is why i now consider myself a nonbinarist. i have been one for a long time without having the word, with nonbinary people being at the centre of what i fight for in terms of the patriarchy. nonbinarism is pretty explicit on who it centres, rather than acting like it's more inclusive that it actually is. nonbinarism overlaps with feminism as well as with the issues of transgender men, as nonbinarism includes nonbinary men and women of all kinds, and liberating nonbinary people will ultimately liberate everyone.

i am no longer willing to try and fight to be included in a movement that doesn't want me, and would rather dedicate my time for advocacy for people who are more like me.

Sure, dream.

Pride flag from my dream about smashing the gender binary in all its forms.

Download here from the Internet Archive.

It is public domain, so you're encouraged to share and repost it anywhere you want, and use it for literally anything you want. There's no point in a pride flag people aren't even allowed to use.

First the version I scribbled on my phone at 2:50 am so I wouldn't forget:

[ID: A digital scribble of a pride flag design on a square canvas. The background is soft yellow, with a hollow white square in the center. Inside this square is a large black diamond with a white ray from each point and side, and four smaller black five-pointed stars on each inner corner of the square. The whole thing is slightly lopsided and leans to the left. End ID.]

And then the less scribbled version I made once I was actually properly awake and had my laptop turned on.

[ID: The same flag as above, now made with sharper, clear straight lines. It is centered, and symetrical in quarters. End ID.]

pro tip: binary people also benefit from smashing the gender binary. Just like men also benefit from smashing the patriarchy and white people benefit from smashing white supremacy.

“well what does butch and femme even mean!!”

butch = complete rejection of femininity, and reclamation of masculinity (as a woman or nonbinary lesbian) to solely attract other women/sapphics.

femme = subversion and reclamation of femininity (as a woman or nonbinary lesbian) to solely attract other women/sapphics

These two identities are gender nonconforming due to the fact that womanhood itself is defined as a compliment to manhood. Historically, womanhood was only considered to serve men. Lack of attraction to men has oftentimes defined lesbians as “failed women”. For example, you can see this in how medical gatekeeping forces trans women to have to perform hyperfemininity and heterosexuality in order to receive access to transition care because those standards were considered the defining features of womanhood. This gatekeeping was significantly more widespread in the past (and I hesitate to say if that’s gone away in the present).

Butch and femme are two sides of the same coin. Counterparts. They are nouns, complete identities, not just descriptions. Butches protect femmes, femmes protect butches. They are also not mandatory or required to be a lesbian, so it’s not necessary to fit into either category. They are not “another gender binary.��

Butches are not “basically men” and they do not benefit from masculinity. Femme does not inherently mean hyper feminine, and it does not require performing patriarchally imposed expressions of femininity (such as wearing make-up, shaving, only wearing dresses). Butches and femmes are still butches and femmes even when wearing plain t-shirts and pants some days. It’s not an outfit to take on and off.

“Futch” does not exist as a material identity because butch means a strict rejection of femininity, while femme is a subversion of femininity. There are also roles that are considered with butch and femme, while futch does not have anything of the sort. “Futch” = neither, essentially.

This post is meant to be simple to get the basic idea across, as there’s more aspects to butch/femme culture that I didn’t go over. Butch and femme also involves specific behaviors in relation to courtship, roles, or protection of each other. You can read stone butch blues to get a better idea of that aspect as a starting point. That’s all! 👋
