Sometimes the differences between our nonbinary, trans, and genderqueer communities lead to hostility. Even though many of us exist in more than one of these groups, hostility grows.
But in the end we are still a family. Like a good family, our love for each other can overcome our anger.
Because, though different, the day is at least as beautiful as the night, and a night sky is more beautiful with a multitude of stars than only one.
never let anyone disrespect you. don’t continue to talk to people who continually use the wrong name or pronouns. don’t date someone who can’t be bothered to call you by the right name.
call people out for disrespecting you. you deserve so much better than that, no matter what you think.
if you don’t have the courage to stand up for yourself, then ask someone who does respect you to call others out when they don’t.
being non-binary or genderqueer or trans doesn’t make you less human. you deserve all the same rights as cis people.
so stand up for yourself. be respected. be friends with people who call you by the right name, and use the right pronouns. date someone who helps you with dysphoria or depression or anxiety and supports your identity 120%.
Made some quick art and edits with some of the most common nonbinary identities! I’m not nonbinary myself, but I made this as a trans man to show my support towards my nb siblings. If there is another flag you want for this edit you can request it!
(Quick question: would anyone buy these if I put these in a RedBubble account?)
Sometimes unpleasant cis people online will want pictures of you so that they can decide how to gender you (against your will). Such people will get angry if you refuse to provide them.
But you don’t have to provide pictures of yourself if you don’t want to.
An individual’s privacy should always be under their own control.
Being nonbinary, trans, genderqueer, etc. is no exception.
