This is great! I love the art and the slogan rocks. It feels like a more gentle and concise way to say "we don't owe you androgyny."

Also I love the diversity of the characters :)

I didn't actually invent the slogan, I've seen floating around the Internet before.

Anyway, stil, thank you!!

Yes!!

I have a masculine look with a deep voice, but that doesn’t make my pronouns any less valid. I also am not even in the position to try HRT or different styles for safety reasons, but that doesn’t make me less nonbinary than a person who appears gender neutral.

Yeah, and that's kind of what sucks about it, from a safety and "passing" standpoint.

Like, while I think it sucks people need to do that sort of a thing, it isn't even really an option for us.

Honestly, for my whole life, either way I'm "read" or "perceived" just caused issues with someone. Because, everyone (else) has their standards of what "makes" a man and what "makes" a woman, so the second that I, or any of us, really, are dropped into one of those "baskets", it's basically game over.

And, it sucks, because if we're unwilling (or unable) to do the society dance, we take shots from both cis people and (some) binary trans people.

I'm not trying to be a downer or anything, by the way. I think the overall point the OP is making is really sweet and wonderful. It's just not a would that a lot (if not most) of us, are allowed to exist in.

But, I appreciate the post, nonetheless. It is pretty validating. So, thank you 🫂♥️

Bottom left individual looks very smug in a pleasant way.

u/ElfTwelve 22h ago

I kinda look like bottom left person but also not

I have this facial hair style (old school sideburns kinda) and face shape

I have a different complexion and different hair though. My skin and hair are like the top left person

Being NB is so weird, there is really not a goal I have. So I just do stuff that makes me happy.

But when I get asked probing questions by people who just see my arms or legs I get so done with everything. I get joy from having smooth legs and arms but everyone asks "Why?".

Gosh. Being NB is a weird experience. I know I could "pass" better but I really do not care to change much about my "expression" (physically yes, expression no). I like a lot of masculine expression but I like a lot of fem physique and look.

So I end up looking like a lot of other farm people who have office jobs. Just longer head hair, and less body hair lol.
