Is there any other non-binary people here?

I guess I could could be considered non-binary. I dislike labels though, especially "girl" and "woman." I also don't care if their is anyone else like me and don't care what people think. I don't fit in with binary gender or the "non-binary" types. Plus all that's happening is people are turning the binary into a trinary. It just one more thing with its own set of rules one must conform to. I'm an outsider, a 0.

I identified as transgender for quite some time, and medically transitioned to male with hormones. Early in transition I was obsessed with appearing male, but years have gone by and I've grown more comfortable with breaking convention. I realized that I was performing male in a similar way to how I felt as I was performing female - just trying to fit into the box.

I look quite masculine now, have male pattern baldness, a beard, etc. I'm not extremely uncomfortable being referred to as male or he, but even after all these years I still feel a jolt in my stomach, like what I really am doesn't match up with what they see.

I let people assume I'm male, but really don't identify as either male or female. But I don't identify as none or neutral either. I identify as non-binary because there's not really a word for how I feel. If I could say I'm both or all, I would. And identifying as both makes logical sense to me if I was raised female and then identified as male.

I've hesitated in posting here because it seems a lot of people like claiming our space as their own and telling us we don't exist, so thank you for posting this. Made me feel safer in talking about it.

Um....

I guess I am the only one in the room who has noticed that there is a whole subforum on WP called "LBGT Issues" with 1400 threads!

I clicked on this topic because it was on that list of live topics on that banner page of WrongPlanet and didn't realize that the topic was from the LBGT subforum.

Whatever. Meal Culpa and all of that.

Was gonna type "it seems like there are a lot of nonbinary folks on WP. Or there were until recently", and then changed my mind and impulsively said go to the LBGT forum instead.

So I will just go back to what I was originally gonna say ...which is..."it seems like there are a lot of nonbinary folks on WP. So you will eventually bump into them."

Rotflmao!

LGBT issues aren't segregated, either. You can discuss sexual orientation in context in any thread. The subforum collects threads related to specific topics to make them easier to find.

I would be considered non-binary because I don't feel like either a man or a woman- but I've never called myself non-binary because I've never had a reason to.

I would say that I'm probably non-binary. I've only really recently come to understand that trans doesn't mean that I have to want to be male--because I so don't. I'm just who I am, and who I've always been. I would say that I'm both male and female. That is what is inside of me, and I'm happy about that. It's who I have been my whole life. I wish I wanted to just transition to male because that would feel easier, but I agree with invisible boy above, that I would feel a lot of the ways they have felt.

I still identify as female, and I'm ok with that. I'm proud to be female! I guess I don't feel the need for too much change. I'm back and forth on if I want top surgery or not. But I'm pretty ok with my body. I could get away with presenting as either gender so I feel pretty lucky for that.

I was told to confine my "filth" to this subforum so here I am in all my dirt.
I will be whatever you want me to be.

^ Oooo, what're you doing that's so filthy? Now I'm all intrigued.

^ Having the effrontery to be alive.

Book recommendations if you like fantasy - Ana Mardoll's series is great and has characters of all genders (and ethnicities and disabilities, it's great)

Gender is a mystery to me but I enjoy hearing about other people's experiences of it.

I might be... I thought about this even as a child.

I don't fit in with girls, I don't fit with boys either.
Until now, I don't fit in with women, I don't fit in with men either. In or out of the spectrum.
I couldn't picture myself as trans either. It doesn't 'ring'.


I'm not particularly feminine nor masculine. I don't even know. I might as well be just some preadolecent child in an adult's body, or just apathethic about things like this.

All I know is that I'm biologically female, and I don't mind being referred as 'she', I don't mind if people calls me a girl, a lady, or a woman. I won't insist anyone otherwise -- it's no one's business.
And, I don't need to change. If I were born male, I wouldn't mind either.

I'm non-binary! Not so sure if I'm trans male sometimes, but I most of the time I think it's non-binary.
I hated to choose a gender when registering on this page, is there anything I can do about it?
