Still Me | Non-Binary Short Film (MASKED Part 2) 

Thankyou for this film.

Gret short keep up the good work

thank you

as a gender-fluid this really gave me some courage

Is this related to masked, the trans film? As a nonbinary myself i really enjoyed this

the good ending

@TON 618, Oh my good how brave they are! I would never ever be brave enough to do that.

God I wish someone'd opened my eyes to that being an option when I was little don't get me wrong it's not like I'm old I'm only in my twenties but still can't help but wonder about what I missed out on sometimes.....sad sigh

🥹🥹 that’s so sweet

@@nbmoleminer5051 never too late!! if it feels right, go for it

That part got me, I actually teared up a little.

Yeah. So realistic.

@@the_zster_official is that sarcasm?

@@Kissable-st4r no

@@ebonystave8035 Teared up a lot over here. So realistic, such amazing acting. Took me right back to my teens when my anxiety was through the roof.

I wish that it was easier too, I hope you’re doing ok and I’m really glad that this makes you feel valid because you completely are ❤️

Honestly I am a huge fan of LBGTQ+ community even though I am straight ....I really dream of becoming one of the greatest LBGTQ+ activist because I feel that they are a part of us and not different

Man, you people have been sold up shit creek on a lie. Your gender identity doesn't matter, but you've been tricked into thinking that you need to obsess over it and create all these smoke and mirror costumes and theatrics in pursuit of some unatainable complete validation. You shouldn't be wasting one second of your time on God's earth worrying that because you like something that isn't completely gender typical that that means you have to go on this wild hunt for more labels to apply to yourself. No, you're not special in that. Plenty of men and women like gender atypical things without engaging in this bizarre theatrical production of gender identity.

@@godseed7984 well sometimes people don’t like themselves. They can’t make themselves feel valid. So they need others to tell them they are. But. We all are valid. If it’s not hurting anyone. Why should it matter? We should focus on having fun in life and making sure we enjoy it while it lasts. We only get one and we should enjoy who we are. Even if people think it’s a mental illness or unnatural or stupid or whatever they want to call others. But really. We’re all just people trying to understand ourselves on this big blue and green rock and that’s all.

@@polarcorpuscle2941 lol you don't get the point because you don't feel what others feel. There are tomboys and feminine men but there are people that don't fit into those categories either. Some people don't feel gender. They're just making themselves more comfortable by being their selves. This overly binary system makes people uncomfortable.

I think we all did

We love ✨Character Development✨ here

That was one of my favourite parts

ye i love that

Zach is adorable. Also very nice, I hope the people playing these roles have a good life. If they are themselves what they portray here, I hope that they find the support of others they need.

@@thepaganapostate3208 from the interviews posted they seem really happy!

Love your own sound it’s healthy

He does sound so cool

Same!!! I try os hard to attempt to make my voice sound like that’s but it still sounds way too girly *sob *

Yep me to

This is so cool to hear! Want to join one of those groups for real? Knox Youth Services runs heaps of fun LGBTQIA+ groups just like the one featured in Still Me. You never know, you might even recognise some of them from the film! www.knox.vic.gov.au/our-services/children-family-and-community-services/youth-and-teenagers/youth-services/lgbtiq-young-people

I’m so happy for you! I’m glad the club makes you happy and yh I just hope you’re doing alright :))

Despite the anguish that non-binary, gay or other people suffer, they are lucky to have the LGBTQ community. At least, they know that they are not alone and that there are always people there to listen to them and sympathise with them. Not so long ago, LGBTQ groups did not exist and people who were non-binary and not heterosexual would be told to pull themselves together and be quiet.

@@alext2963 what the fuck is a shcool

Ahaha

Same though! I'm a bisexual demigirl in a homophobic transphobic town

ikr?? i live in a homophobic COUNTRY.

@@justyourlocalcommeterd1986 what is it

Me too! I'm lesbian and genderfluid but still closeted. I (secretly) went to my first Pride this June and I seriously never felt more at home, safe and respected. When I went to Pride everyone was so friendly to me and literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON I met there (even if we only briefly talked) asked me for my pronouns and used all of them. I've never felt so valid in my life! I hope I can regain that feeling when I move out of my hometown and come out :)

@@Dalisa516 I really know how you felt! The pride parade is the best place ever to feel valid and happy!

What a dream team 🌈

@@MomentumStudiosAU exactly

I remember Zach he’s looks so cool now!!

@Isabelle Myzer Zach is from the previous short film made by this Channel. The short film that Zach is featured in is called Masked. It's a great video if you ever decided watch it.

Wonderful?

Ur family probably just doesn’t understand. I was born in ‘81 and I have a 19 year old daughter who falls in this category. The reason I’m even watching this is to learn and understand. I admit I’m struggling but I’m trying for my kid. Give ur family time. They will come around. Keep being you. Your happiness is what important.

@@Daniellelp921 thank you for being a supporting parent and trying to learn! I'm not non-binary, but I am a part of the (L)GBTQIA+ community, and seeing comments like yours really make my day.

@@browniesnofrownies4843 Aw thank you for saying that.

I’m sorry you had to go through that, I’m really glad this gave you hope, I’m always here under this comment if you need to talk. So much love to you, from myself (i use they/them pronouns btw)

@@the_alien_1239 I don’t understand they/them. Can you explain it to me? I’m not being mean. I really want to know. How can one person be they? I just don’t understand the reasoning I guess. If I ask my daughter anything (about anything lol) she just tells me I’m old and won’t understand. Well I am old and I don’t understand so help me please…

I’m so glad that there’s good representation now too and it’s more talked about in school environments. I got to a “girl’s” school (it’s called that but there are some people that are non-binary and transmasc there) so I don’t have to go through the separating thing but I know how hard that must be. All of my teachers just say “ladies”, “girls” and just tons of gendered terms and it’s a bit difficult. Tbh my school is not that bad with homophobia+transphobia (apart from a few instances) and half of the school would fight you for it. I hope you’re doing ok ❤️ I’m sorry you had to go through a bad school experience, I hope you’re doing better now

What is Enby? When these names will end

@jules ☆ What is homophobic? Nobody uses this word where I live

In my P.E class I was put in a group called the ‘mixed group’ which is for both female and male groups and, my gosh the group was a life saver because two weeks after being put into I grew the courage to finally use they/them pronouns. But I hope the best for you.

@@tennisthelegend Do you understand us non-binary people? We have to deal with groups separated by binary gender while us non-binaries don’t have the option to have our own groups for our gender most of the time. So how about you do some research instead of shoving your head into the unknown would you?

So happy they have you as a sib!! Let us know what they thought of the film!! :))

@@samjelley6020 they loved it! They’re considering a name change so I’ll try my best to help them be comfortable

@@tireddude9750 nice pfp

@@beansoda2772 thanks, you too

Ur the most amazing brother!

I hope things get better for you, glad ur still here

My friend deals with these things... I cried for how unfair it was and I how I couldn't help him and the pain they had.

i don't get it, it's just a sex you were born with, society overcomplicates it

You're a man and an alien?

@jules ☆ I won't.

It's still practical for some lessons though

@@fluffles803 yeah really annoying as an enby though.

@@buzzer3659 what is enby

@@fluffles803 a person who identifies as nonbinary

You could try put non binary pins or pins with your pronouns onto whatever sort of clothing you can apply it to. This will really help if people know the flag or see the pronouns. If you can’t get it yourself try find a friend who can buy it for you. Hope this helps!

YES

Yes! Is a part 3 too much to ask for? …probably

Loved it. Can you add a link to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bLk8Dxf1xFk.html in the description for newcomers who haven't yet seen Masked?

loved it so much! also so great to see Zach doing so well aww 🥺😍😍

Yessss

Me too, I’m a closeted genderqueer person.

In that situation you have to "use the bathroom" because "you're on your period" that way you have an excuse to not go to the girls side

You should go whever your penis tells you to go. If you have one, go over with the boys. You can't change what you are. Non binary is a made up term. It's like saying I don't believe in air, so it doesn't exist. Like it or not, you are what you are.

i literally felt the panic rising up my chest and like oh my god. i’ve been in those situations before where they ask boys and girls to separate and it fucks me up (also a trans guy)

I hated when teachers did this

I can use it as rarely or I don't know. I'm glad my gender doesn't feel fully female,I'm demigirl :)

Yes we’re here for you and we know how it’s feels love you ❤️

No, Hello, you are not alone, but you were alone in that homophobic and transphobic school.

I am bisexual genderfluid kid that goes to a homophobic school, I was trans once, I was really open about it in school and my name was Lucas, and one day, A teacher told a transphobic kid and he started telling everyone. I cried and cried for 10 minutes straight.

maybe if you could learn to spell the word "really"

@@ChrissyTheMusicFreak how can you stop being trans?

yay!

So glad!!

Ik this is late but I'm happy for you!

I'm glad she did! I'm also a demigirl, but my parents are homophobic so I don't think I can come out with them

At my school everyone is friendly regarding the LGBTQ community too, both teachers and students. I wish it was like that for others, I hate that other people don't get that luxury.

My school is pretty much like this,,, theres a few good teachers but other than them its hell

ur not bad at explaining x and as another enby myself i get u

You did pretty well, though 👍

@꧁Rain꧂ I luv ur pfp!!

I relate to that I tend to use the "men's" as my school isn't to excepting when it comes to bathrooms

I live in Sweden and most public toilets are non-genderal (can you say that?) and I as a woman don't want to meet a man in there. I came up with this idea to have two different rooms but one fore *Men* and the other for *Everybody else* I got this idea when a debate occurred where "men" were afraid of meeting LGBT, transgender or transvestite at the toilet. And some LGBT people didn't feel comfortable to use either toilets. I would be comfortable in using the *Everybody else* for sure and LGBT, trans- or non binary people would be welcome too. My experience is that It's mostly "men" that have issues about LGBT-people, I think. "men" means in this case heterosexual men (that refuses to think twice about this matter).

Lots of love for you ma'am, as a young gender-questioning person 🖤

@@noone-ks9ce thank you

Sending all my love to you girl! ❤️

Hope you have a great life madam! :D

Have a great life, Sally!

i'm so happy for u!

ikr it was awesome seeing Zach again, I was wonderig what happened to him after the ending of Masked

You think she was chill? I think she just didn't care, I mean, she did it wrong all the time

@@samrose3570 Yeah makes sense

@@samrose3570 At least, the teacher did not scold her. Not so long ago, she would have.

School for me is almost out, so I’m planning on going by my new name (Jay) in school starting next year.

true

@karmasdoor you spelled it right :D

Toller Kommentar :)

Yeah, English really isn't formed well for the nonbinary pronouns. But people do use they/them to refer to one person (obviously not as often as they are for plural). You probably do it unconsciously sometimes. (Maybe think of when you reference to a friends teacher, a lot of people immediately go to they/them cus teaching has become a lot more open to other genders. It is hard to see tho because so many occupations are still often viewed as gendered) Honestly a good way to practice it is to refer to everyone who you see, and who you don’t know the pronouns of as they/them. So if you see a person on the street wearing a nice dress and you think “oh wow, she’s got a nice dress on” just correct yourself and go “they’ve got a nice dress on” It’s one of those things that gets better the more you use it. I’m so glad for you though!! Just because a lot of people who don’t understand it fully go to invalidate it. Its really refreshing to see someone be accepting and not so difficult around it. As for non-binary, it’s just someone who doesn’t fit well within the gender binary. There’s this other thing called being Agender that could also be described as that, but I think that a good way to visualize it is think of a scale. Women on one side Men on the other. A non-binary person sits right in the middle (this is for gender identity btw, not how people express themselves). Agender is just some point completely off the scale. Obviously scales aren’t the best way of explaining it, but it helped me. Someone being gender-fluid just means that their gender identity changes. It can be kinda complicated to understand, but you’ve got the respect part down. Just don’t judge what people wear/do, and use the correct pronouns. You’ll be all set. Also thanks again for being really accepting. It’s so nice to see. (And a bit of disclaimer, but I don’t really know all too much about this stuff despite being a part of the community, so I may be wrong about it)

I feel like Agender might leave the area, curl into a ball, walk in circles, walk aimlessly, or do something else.

@@Endo9319 starting to eat garlic bread 😅

im pretty sure they mean your biological gender

@@riverd3698 Garlic bread?

@@vardets1032 what about intersex people

Same

Your Teachers are awesome.. 💙💜🌸🌌🐤

dw babe, your english is fine.

@@whalesharkgirI how would they know what dw means

@@_scientistjeongyeon idk man, i just assumed they did.

Sé algo de portugués. tu ingles esta bien lo hiciste bien jaja

@@_scientistjeongyeon i think its something like "dont worry"? by the context

Alanah Parkin and Kelsie Adelaide are very talented!

@@MomentumStudiosAU they really are!!

Sameeee

Yup, same

What do you mean by gender envy?

'Gender envy?' Good grief, that's a new one.

@@leeriches8841 It’s not really, you just haven’t seen that term used before.

What...oh man. .I have class at that time

@@deliavazquez9095 dont worry, it'll be waiting for you after class 🌈

Thanks.

i hope you are better now, im so happy to hear that your school started respecting your pronouns and name

It's stupid. She is clearly a girl - it shouldn't be hard to know which group to join.

You got this!

me too...

Idk I think I might be too. I was sure I was a girl but now I don't know

How does it feel and how are you sure? Can you explain your inner feelings in details? I want to know...also do such non binary people really get anxiety attacks as shown here? Did you get those or know others like that??

@@fauziajasia2548 i would also like to know that!!

That was an Anxiety attack not a panic attack. Just letting you know~

them*

Also I felt the need to say this but who else thinks Zack is really attractive? XD

Heeeyyy now you found one! :D

You’ll find them soon don’t worry to a non binary person to another you’ll find people who accept you

@intriguing Woman Is it really hard to respect someone’s identity tho, that doesn’t need to be earned, if you can’t respect how someone identifies, that says a lot about your maturity level.

@intriguing Woman we grant everyone basic respect. We don’t go around disrespecting people because they didn’t earn it. Respecting someone as a fellow human is not something you have to earn. Respect people’s pronouns because it’s part of that basic respect we give everyone.

Gender doesn't matter. Nobody truthfully cares.

In tears lmao

sure it did

Name suggestion! Moth, Cloud, Ash

"We should really teach teachers not to do this kind of stuff" - they do, now. I myself have split between "girls" and "boys" in years before sometimes, but I had a continued education training on how to better support *trans and *inter students and now I know how harmful such things can be.

how about alex?

Aww,that's kind.

Same, I’m closeted though.

I realized that it was Zack from Masked when I saw a comment about it, so I feel you. I'm quite bad at facial recognition, lol

I support you mate! I hope you find out who you really are and find a good name if you want to change your other name!
