hunt Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 If you dont know me, hi, my name is Mac. I call myself a trans guy*. Although technically, I'm a demiguy, a non-binary identity. So, as its probably apparent, I don't call myself non-binary. I've gotten a little bit of confusion over that so I've had time to think... Why don't I? I, in no way, have ever experience the hardships of being non-binary. I've never experience harassment over my identity (apart from transphobes who say i'm going to hell.) I dress almost solely masculine, I use pretty much exclusively male pronouns in public / social spaces. Pretty much, I'm more male than I am agender, so it doesn't make sense to me to call myself NON-binary. I'm more just..not totally-binary. SO, my question- Is it ok that i dont consider myself non-binary, even while identifying as a label under its umbrella? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainy Robin Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I don't see any problem with it. Labels are just there to give us the language to describe ourselves and our identities, so use whichever ones you want to describe yourself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El011 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Nonbinary people don't have to be totally neutral and plenty of us lean more to one side of the binary. We also all present differently and use different pronouns so there are many different nonbinary experiences. You can absolutely identify as nonbinary if you want but you don't have to. I've even seen people identifying as both nonbinary and cis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
