Things Not To Say To NON BINARY TRANS People 

i have no gender, only rage

Totally!

My new motto!

alonelonely4ever That's the stupidest statement I've ever heard in my life. I feel like non binary is when one wants to be a hybrid of both male and female and wants to pick and choose which characteristics to display. Maybe wants to be both male and female? If one were really non binary then they would have be a totally different species. You can't really escape the two established genders and sexes.

WRONG! There are only 2 sexes. There are only two types of genitalia. However gender is a whole different thing. it comes from more of a social standpoint and how you feel inside. Why should someone be forced to act like someone who they are not? Sometimes people just can't help feeling uncomfortable in their own body. I get where you are coming from. I was raised to beleive that "god" made you to be just they way you were born. Raised that being gay was wrong. Be i have seen peoples veiws on this and now am non binary and pansexual myself. i hope this helped.

Another Day Tell them sister, my gender studies professor said the same thing when I told her that I identify as an aquafluid

There's nothing to understand. Its pure nonsense by people seeking attention.

@@7521eric wtf ?!

TheKawaiifan It's broken dreams & aids

@Jake Dean >> So how can you be transgender if you're also non-binary?! Trans is an umbrella term with many identities under it (including non-binary). Non-binary is also an umbrella term meaning any gender that is not the two that first jump into many peoples heads when they think gender. Many non-binary people (myself included) also use the term trans (because non-binary is a sub-label under trans). Some non-binary people do not use the word trans to describe themselves. I hope that was clear. If not, let me know.

That's progress!

Fellow agender

Also, I definitely laughed at "Harry the Hateful Hipster."

Then your an idiot. This is all utter nonsense.

TWD Nerd Oh wow, never heard that one before.

jester 80s you're wrong get over it

Joshua Davis You look like someone bashed your face in with a shovel

Then get a bunch of your like minded friends dug a mass grave hold hands shoot each other and fall backwards into it have a few people cover it up and in a few years you can be dug up as fertiliser or we can plant a garden on the fertile soil problem solved you dont have to deal with society we dont have to deal with your pathetic crybaby hypocrisy and everyone is happy you made a bit of a contribution to society by becoming fertiliser

Cheers Charl :)

Charl Landsberg I decided to come out of the closet 6 months ago to my mom & I told her that I identify as a non binary haystack & she was so confused & said: "You mean you're gay?" & she couldn't understand me

Thanks J -- You rock x

Jonathan Kent I identify as Glasses. My whole life has been torture. A plain black haired guy wears me everyday & I am broken all the time bcz of his shit. #NotMyShinpachi

***** i meant masculine or feminine in gender terms, im nb

This is the most respectful argument I've ever seen on the internet. Kudos to you both.

This is such nonsense.

Awesomes!!

Yasper Madmoon "trans" as a root word also carries the meaning of "across". For example, the TPP, "trans-Pacific Partnership" stretches across the ocean. So it would seem reasonable for someone to claim the "transgender" label if their gender experience stretches "across" the gender spectrum, don't you think?

D Thompson Lol attack helicopter is made for TRANSporting. :'D

D Thompson And there is only two genders, bunch of clothes and a personality! I identify as a male, I dress cool/badass mostly and I have a bubbly personality!♥ :) I do not have to use ton of made up labels for genders when I can show my true personality!

Yasper Madmoon yes, helicopters, boats, planes, bicycles, skateboards etc are made in part for "trans" (across) "port" (carry) "-ation" (noun ending). That is, carrying an object across distance. Is that odd? As to your assertion that there are only two genders, it is certainly the case that most modern Americans until recently have used the word "gender" as a synonym for sex and, yes, setting aside the fairly rare instance of intersexed individuals the vast majority of people are born as one of two *sexes*. But more and more I think it's clear that many people would like to make a clear distinction between our biology (sex) and our cultural expressions (gender). And obviously there are many many different ways we can express ourselves culturally through our mannerisms and what we wear so I think it makes sense that as some people try to build communities among those who feel and behave similarly they will come up with various labels for themselves. Some labels probably will fade out of use, but some will probably stick. Language, especially language surrounding cultural identity ebbs and flows. You could deride the term "African-American" for example on the basis that all modern human species originated on the African continent, so if we could all trace our lineage back far enough all of us in the US would theoretically be "African-Americans", but to pretend that that is how most people use the term is to be needlessly and obviously obtuse. Basically, if any label succeeds at communicating a set of shared characteristics to those who hear it then it will be useful and persist, and if not, it won't. Of course, if you have a word besides "non-binary" that you think succinctly captures the idea of people who through their clothing, mannerisms, etc embody a contradiction in our mainstream notions of gender, feel free to use it and argue that others use it too. Through time society collectively will decide if it merits persistent widespread usage. :)

D Thompson If it's cultural, why did gays and transgender people in conversion therapy got themselves in great pain and suicide? If gender would entirely be cultural, those factors would be working.

Social Media Warrior Don't do anything you're not comfortable with. You be whoever you are and whoever you want to be, and don't let anyone change that. That's my advice.

Yay :)

Teddy Bot I identify as a MADAO & it's extremely offensive when other call me with non-MADAO pronouns. Btw, mine are kms/41%

Sabrina Avila Hi! I am non binary as well and I recently read a book by Marshall Rosenberg called “Nonviolent Communication” that has really been a game changer for me when I try to tell people about my preferred pronouns. What I usually say to close friends and family who still use she/her pronouns for me is this, “Would you like to know a way to better connect with me and support my need for respect and self-expression?” If yes, “Would you be willing to refer to me using they/them pronouns from now on? As in “they went to the store” instead of “she went to the store”.” I hope this helps! 😊💖

Yes, non-binary is a valid identity under the trans umbrella :)

Whoop! :)

Woolly Channel I think you have misunderstood the whole concept of this video.. This video highlights issues that non binary people face on a daily basis, which is often very sexist and based on gender stereotypes.

I think you'll find that Owl's Aunt Rósa, the Icelandic Traditionalist. Catch a Q&A with her at facebook.com/mygenderation. I'm half Asian, although that doesn't give me licence to appropriate.

Thanks!!

This is so true :)

Cheers for watching!

Love it

Hi Megsy - I'm trans and always identified as genderqueer and now nonbinary - something which I was never allowed to mention on MTS so said I was a binary trans man to simplify things which is also what I said to my doctor to access hormones and surgery. However I feel there are ridiculous ideals for men and women and that gender is a construct and I reject all of that. I am just me.

+Fox Fisher thank you fox:), great explanation

Oh no! Owl would never try impersonate an Eastern European woman! That's Owl's Aunt Rósa, the Icelandic Traditionalist. --Owl is Icelandic too.

+Fox Fisher Thanks for your answer. It's good to know she is impersonating somebody who is really existing. That changes much for me. Thanks a lot. :)

It's a hard thing to do - but always best to be honest. If they don't want to know you, then they clearly aren't the right friend for you - and you can make new ones! :)
