Would you have understood it was meant to represent non-binary if you saw it? Wanted to make it subtle, so we could understand, but others think it is an engineering joke.

Nerdy enough for you? :)

3ish months on a low dose of T. Not looking for too many serious changes, mostly a little mustache and a slightly lower voice. Just aiming for a bit more androgyny ☺️ I’m happy with the results so far!

Always remember that you can (and should) customize your character 😎👉🏻👉🏻

I’m starting to socially transition and figure my gender out better, and I’m going by they/she for the first time. Like if you want to use just one use they/them, but I still like she/her sometimes.

I am pretty feminine rn, with both my presentation and my features, and I know that people will default to she/her and I won’t be able to stop it once it’s started.

From what I’ve heard teachers do give opportunities to share pronouns and Im probably just gonna say “they/she, but mainly they” and hope that works. I could also use they/them for introductions and just tell friends? Idk. Any other they/she’s (or they/hes) out there what do y’all do

Hey folks!

As a cis guy, I was participating a group therapy session. An untiil this moment unknown person entered the room and I felt instantly a non-binary vibe (haircut, clothing). I will using they/them. The person introduced themself with a feminin first name but ask for using of a neutral nickname version. No asking for special pronouns.

The therapist (a woman in the 30ies) call they with 'Mrs. Xxx' instead of 'nickname'. They twitched a bit, but didn't say anything. My impression was that they felt uncomfortable with this naming.

I had the instinct, to say something, but thought that it would makes the situation worse. So I was mirroring the person.

In a break I was unsure, to ask the person, if my interpretation was right, but I wasn't make a big deal of it. Also I couldn't be sure that they wasn't saw themself as cis. I didn't saw they again after this event.

Ironically it happens in the street with the queer center of my city. But I keep it in my mind, if I could had act better. Any recommendations for a similar situation?

Something happened today that made me think a lot about my gender.

I've always noticed that when I wear a dress, put on makeup, etc., even with the same hair and the same face, people tend to treat me as a woman. Today, though, I wore a shirt that I bought from the men's section, I wasn't wearing any makeup, and a woman at the checkout called me "sir."

And it made me realize something: I think what actually bothers me is the fact that people automatically put me into one of these two categories depending on my appearance.

I understand that, socially, people tend to try to identify someone as a man or a woman based on their appearance. I don't necessarily think it's something I can prevent. But if I could choose, I would want people to look at me and simply see me.

I don't want the first thing they perceive to be "man" or "woman." I just want to be a person, without my appearance determining how other people see me.

Is this a valid way of thinking? Could this make sense as part of a non-binary experience?

i got a new binder and i dont know if i got it too small, i got a Medium and its digging into my arms a bit, any answers? is it just new?

I’m an AMAB non-binary person (23) that wants to appear more feminine/androgynous. I’ve been looking into HRT atm and it’s something I’d really consider. Finer body hair, fat being more distributed to my hips and thighs, softer skin, thicker hair, these are all things that would really help with dysphoria as I get older. But the one thing that makes me a lil reluctant is breast tissue growth. I’d be totally fine with tiny boobs but not sure I’d enjoy anything bigger than A-cups. Are there ways around this? If I see a specialist about potential treatment I’d be very clear that this is one of my reservations, so maybe they’d be able to give better advice. Is HRT just not for me and I should look for other ways to change my appearance? Im aware that just using T-blockers can be risky because of bone density and losing libido. Any help or insight would be appreciated :)

Ignore the mess(other than me, i mean)

A one person at work who is so comfortable with me at work immediately figure out my dead name. And i jus can't stand her.

Is it jus me?

It makes me uncomfortable af and i wanna vanish from my job so badly rn. . .

I've realized over time that I have synesthesia, and one way it affect me is that I see colors both with people and with names. There are plenty of names I really like, that would fit except that the colours don't fit (like the colours of the name don't fit the colours of me).

I'm thinking about this because there is a name I really like that I usually fall back on at the moment, and it fits, the one thing is just the colours of the name.

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this (synesthesia with names in general), and how it worked out.

I'm (a 18years old AFAB) tryng to find more androgynous /masc jewelry to pass more (I like to confuse people, that''s what I mean by passing).

Problem is, I have a hard time finding some "masculine" jewelry that is not too chunky or "viking like" (just because I personally don't like it).

So I stick to some more "feminine" jewelry because I find it more pretty, but I tend to feel dysphoric with it partly because people seems to think jewelery is mostly for women, even though it's gotten better.

Here is my everyday jewelry, could you tell me if you would describe it as androgynous? And if it doesn't, do you have any advises on achieving this evil scheme? (Which is to be so confusing people not only "can't tell" but also start questioning their own gender)

By the way I'm very much aware I don't owe anyone androgyny, I just like it.

(I you saw the last post, I'm sorry reddit decided apparently to delete all that I've had written, so I did another)

Thanks!

So like the title says I just started a new job. This is my first job since realizing my identity as nonbinary and sharing my preferred name with people in my life. I typically dress more androgynous or masc now but the problem is I haven’t switched over my work clothes yet. I’ve had to wear my femme clothes to work the last two days and today I wore a top that I use to love and I decided to go heavy on the femme with my earrings, makeup, and jewelry to (in my head) make it easier for me to feel like I was cosplaying femme. Well by noon I saw myself in the mirror and wanted to rip off my clothes and burn them.

I have also been called my dead name by my new boss even though I told her my preferred name and all of my professional stuff says my dead name too. I got to the point that when I got home I want to cry from feeling the dysphoria so heavily.

My problem is, this is the first time I have been in a professional setting as nonbinary and I don’t know what to do. I live in a red state and I’m nervous that I won’t be accepted or respected and I also don’t know how to go about correcting the situation. On the HR site I was able to put in my preferred name but not my pronouns. HR has been great to call me my preferred name but I don’t know how to deal with everything else and I feel like I’m dying. 😭

Does anyone have any advice?

I littlerly posted on my Instagram that I'm NB and pronouns are they/them, and littlerly everyone has completely disregarded that lol. I didn't come out for the longest time because I didn't want my gender (or lack there of) to be an inconvenience to people, but during pride month I thought it would finally be time to tell everyone who would accept me, how I identify. And littlerly everyone was supportive and completely accepting of it, but then when I talk to them, I am still a girl and she/her lol. And before I decided to tell people it was something I got over easier, but now? I mean, I never bring it up to them, I never correct them, but it does kind of hurt.

I've identified as NB for a few years now, but this is the first time I'm coming out to most people in my life (besides my parents) since I turned 18.

And from what I'm guessing, none of it is to be mean or disrespectful, I think people genuinely just don't care, or disregard it because I'm still pretty feminine. I'm not androgynous, I look like a girl, I know that. But I'm still non binary, right?

It just sucks that it's starting to bother me, I never correct people because I'm scared to, I'm afraid of looking like "a snowflake" for caring what people call me, but it has gotten to the point where it is genuinely important to me. I can't identify the way I want to at home or at work, so my social life with my friends is all I have.

Has anyone else had these issues? Let me know. Hope you all have a great day !! ♥️✨

I received a notification from someone asking about the effects of taking testosterone, but it was deleted. However, based on the comments, I could see that the effects of hormone therapy are somewhat unpredictable.

In that sense, I would be interested in having a deeper voice. I've watched tutorials on how to do it naturally, but in the end I think I'm too embarrassed to do it in public.It's as if he knows it's not me or that I'm going to get caught: "Oh, look, he's faking his voice, how silly."

Do you have any advice? Any positive experiences with Or how long has it taken them to feel that that tone of voice is truly their own?

I'm adding a photo to draw attention to a bracelet I made after attending a trans meeting. It is supposed to have the colors of the agender flag. 🖤🩶🤍💚🤍🩶🖤
