Feels like a good week to tell every non-binary person in the #Fediverse how amazing you are, and remind everyone here that non-binary identities are stunning, beautiful, individual, deep and go so far beyond the 'enby' or 'NB' stereotypes you may not believe unless you're talking with them to understand ... :heart_nb:

Well you're adored, amazing, you've taught me over the years and are still teaching me new things about gender ... including off-grid outside the binary. Plus you take personal authenticity to the very very max. Do I sound a fan? Well yes, cannot deny how much I think you all rock ... :flag_nonbinary: :butterfly_nonbinary:

@Natasha_Jay Thank you! I love the message in the picture. My gender identity does not come with a mandatory look or persona.

@Natasha_Jay I'll have you know I loaned my androgynous sweater to one and that fucker most certainly does owe me androgyny

@Natasha_Jay Being non biney is liberating to many especially those who have suffered a lot under the hand of crushing expectations of gender stereotyping, it can really screw with ppl

so saying "ya know what - I don't HAVE to be anything! I am me, I don't have to stick to any labels" is an emotionally healthy way to process the guilt-tripping we receive from some people

I think many of us agree. The concept of binary gender is a huge societally imposed and nonsensical stereotype when you unpack and look at it dispassionately and at its various levels. But nonbinary folk get that, or reach that level of understanding

@Natasha_Jay @LukaLoginska Female and male genders each have their own strengths, so a mix of the two is a win/win in terms of personality and understanding. In the present patriarch dominated world it would benefit everyone if more males were in touch with their femininity.

@bobjmsn @LukaLoginska
And then for some πŸ’Žβ€‹s neither male/masc and female/fem really get even close to covering it. Realms of gender experienced in colour, light, shape and other analogies πŸ˜β€‹ :heart_nb:​ :heart_gq:​

Gender is very societally boxed and policed everywhere ...

I have trans friends in the Philippines which is pretty trans friendly but even so - until recently their culture has had 4 genders -

- essentially cis male and female (ultra masc and femme, via Spanish colonial influences) plus
- "bakla" (essentially trans female) and
- "tomboy" (essentially trans male) plus both the trans ids are historically heavily conflated with sexuality stereotyping

It's changing their too ... becoming more diverse in the u25s

@Natasha_Jay @LukaLoginska I grew up in the Shetland Islands where gender was considered binary when I was young. Recently we sold our home to friends whom we look on as family, a transgender woman and her partner. They tell us the community has been welcoming and helpful, which makes me hopeful for the future of my former home. Familiarity breeds acceptance and better people.

@Natasha_Jay i will admit, i thought this was one of those lawful/chaotic alignment charts for a moment

@Natasha_Jay I went thrifting last weekend and everything I found is incredibly gender

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt My gender is Cantor diagonalized! ​:nb_flag:​

@Natasha_Jay I think pointing out that non-binary people are just normal people would be way more useful and reasonable than pointlessly make them look special and good just because of a characteristic they have.

@ciram Totally! Sadly until we view 'binary' as repressive and even the phrase 'non-binary' as counter-reactionary language ... it's the phrases we have today πŸ€·β€β™€οΈβ€‹

For me we all "do" gender in our own way - or should feel free to - and see gendered language as broad-brush, full of holes, stereotypes and grey areas

@Natasha_Jay To people I'm out to I've been telling them that I'm a trans woman, and while that's not inaccurate, it's also not accurate. I'm more demi-girl or as I like to put it girl... mostly, but other stuff too, and sometimes it floats around to different things.

Natasha Jay :mastodon: πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

@ExceedinglyTransGoat Sounds like fun to explore that fully, I'd say? β˜€οΈβ€‹

Natasha Jay :mastodon: πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

@june :heart_nb:​ Non-binary folk unpack themselves to the Nth degree and then decide the details personally. It pains me every time I hear (and I do ...) someone hurt by being boxed in at all, because that's the exact opposite of any enby gender experience ...

And the images? Well, I am all and none of them 😘
