Often people will say “If you know an autistic person, you know one autistic person” as a way to tell others that autism is a spectrum and we’re not all the same. I think the same saying can be applied to nonbinary people. We’re all different and how we relate to our gender varies. I know a bunch of other NBs and none of us are the same in our expression, pronouns, body feelings, any of that.
I’m really struggling with gender identity at the moment tbh and this article really speaks to a lot of the internal blargh I have going on in my head.
“What am I” is a question that keeps bouncing round in there… even if it’s a flawed question in the first place with the feeling of needing a label to try and define one self a bit…
I really enjoyed The Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness episode on Beyond the Binary. I never really understood how nonbinary works if you reject gender norms already. But JVN did a really good job with this episodes by telling his own story as well as other nonbinary people as well.
My partner is agender and a lot of the misconceptions really resonate with things they have expressed to me
Even within the agender spectrum, there’s so much diversity. The assumptions/expectations seem to be really similar to NBs as a whole.
