Current Events > Are there many non-binary users on CE?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not meant to be a bait topic, I'm genuinely wondering

---

i do consider myself non-binary when it comes to social norms around gender

but i have no issues calling myself a dude because of anatomy if it informs people of this when its important


---

Is that like being a tomboy?
If so I'm whatever the version of a male with female interest is

I don't know
Look all I know is I would rather go out with the girls and talk about fun things instead of going out with the lads and getting into fights

Guys can talk about fun things. Hell, from my experience, girls fight more than guys.

I also am

I am. Not told many people in person but that's mainly from not having seen anyone in over a year aside from my partner and kids. It makes sense for me anyway. Never felt right as a boy and man, had a lot of dysphoria so thought I must be a trans woman but that didn't seem right either. I think to most people I just seem like a fairly unusual and slightly goth looking guy and that's fine I guess.

---

I consider myself a bisexual man. Even then, I see the term bisexual or even the idea of two set genders no longer being in vogue in the near future.

It's just a label anyhow.

thats cool I'm glad you found something that feels right. I've also only brought it up with a couple people because I don't like the idea of explaining/justifying myself every time >_>

Yea tbh I have seen more people pushing for the use of 'pansexual' with the idea that its more inclusive. I still use bi for myself too just because its more common

I thought pansexual meant someone only feels attracted after getting to know the person ?

iirc i think that's demi...? I kinda never got how thats a sexuality in itself though, it seems just like a qualifier

---

I know of a few, but I don't name names. (*it looks like a couple of them already posted in here though) My bf is non binary to some degree, but still uses male pronouns.

Yeah, that's demi.

I thought nb was a gender thing and not a sexuality thing?

TeaMilk posted...

so are you saying like you subvert gender norms, but still id as a dude?

yup

I think so. It's hard following all these different terms. Plus it's complicated. Outwardly I'm a total male, but in private I love being feminine in dress and whatnot. There is a desire there and gives me a comfortable feeling like it "feels right". I've always been that way. I don't have any desire to transition or anything at least not at this time. It's rather complicated and it's really hard for me to truly communicate how I feel or talk about stuff like this in general.

---

Maybe?

---

I kind of feel like I am. I think that gender constructs are pointless and being called a man or a woman seems equally valid to me. I present male and have a male body. Never really talked to anyone about it though cuz it doesn't really change anything for me.

---

Im surprised so many of you dont know someone who is non binary.

---

If I personally gave enough of a shit about my gender identity, then I probably would identify as such, but I don't.

That's cool, I get its difficult to talk about. Imo there shouldn't be any pressure to label yourself as anything unless it makes you feel more comfortable

Yea same, im sure there's a lot of people who do but aren't aware of it. Lots of people probably aren't aware of the term/concept or dismiss it too

I dont know anyone who is enby, and I dont care enough to ask.

I always go back and forth on whether or not I count as NB. I feel like such an uneducated bumpkin at times lol

No

But I know someone, a good friend.
