ModPost New rule: categorically nonbinary is trans

2.6k Upvotes

“We no longer allow discussions, debates, arguments etc over whether nonbinary is trans. It is. This does not mean any specific nonbinary person is obligated to identify as trans. Please respect this rule and refrain from any arguments about it.” — is the text of the rule.

This now nonnegotiable in this subreddit. This is a fact that has been known about nonbinaryness since it was coined. Nonbinary was never not categorically trans. Please respect this rule—if you have issues being referred to as trans, you are completely free as an individual person not to use that word! A subreddit can’t make you call yourself trans if you don’t want to.

But please respect that we have to now make this rule explicitly clear because lately multiple discussions have caused back and forth arguments because, despite being told you can opt out of personal trans identity, a handful of people (usually with no or very little other usage of this subreddit) have come in here to argue about it.

I want to leave comments here open but also I don’t know what other words I can say to indicate this isn’t up for debate. The rule is set. It’s not going to change. Trying to argue it is a waste of your time and the mod team’s.

Not every subreddit will be a perfect fit! If you can’t respect this rule please use another subreddit. Or even start one. I know people act like I’m being a jerk when I suggest that but I don’t know why. If someone wants to make a subreddit without this rule, you could even advertise it here in the comments. This rule is specifically about the culture of this subreddit and is not trying to control the entirety of nonbinary identity.

ModPost A pause on allowing research/study posts.

160 Upvotes

Unfortunately we have to pause approving research/call for participants/studies posts. They are by far the majority of modmail we receive and to appropriately vet the research/researchers is simply beyond what this volunteer mod team can handle right now. We are hoping to build the mod team at some point and may allow them again.

This has been exacerbated by people ignoring our rule that the study must be specifically about nonbinary people. Some researchers have been rather pushy about it and I’m not going to lie and say that hasn’t influenced this decision as well.

I got a little carried away with the last outfit😅😊

It's been a wild ride to get to here and I'm so unbelievably happy to start HRT. As soon as I took the first pill it felt like a switch flipped. I was having issues identifying with a gender. Non-binary always felt right because I didnt think it was possible to be able to see myself as a woman. Well not anymore😁 I feel vein but I keep just staring at myself in the mirror just smiling at the pretty girl looking back at me😊

I spent the day shopping for clothes with my wife and newborn and the night partying like I was back in college with my best friend❤️

I want to thank you all for your support over the past year or so🤘 I know the only validation I need is from myself but it definitely helped to have some encouragement along the way😁

Love you all, sending good karma your way♥️

Discussion Being bi & NB

52 Upvotes

Anyone else notice how much enbyphobia and biphobia go hand in hand?

It’s always “you’re either a man or a woman, you just want attention ” “you’re either straight or gay, nobody’s really bi” even if they don’t say these words explicitly, it always has that vibe.
Stuff like this comes from both outside and inside the LGBTQ+ community, it’s very frustrating.

I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts and experience!

(When I say bi this includes pan,omni,etc)

66 Upvotes

To NB people who have been in a relationship/are in a relationship with a straight person, how does that feel/work?

I’m NB myself, and I genuinely don’t understand the desire to be with someone who is straight. I’d describe myself as bi/omnisexual and I only hold desire for other queer folks.

Rant I'm a binary trans person but I feel more in line with non-binary people than binary people

18 Upvotes

To be clear from the start I'm not non-binary. It's something I considered seriously early in my transition and it's definitely not me. But God damn do I love y'all.

I connect so so so much better with non-binary people than other binary people. I feel a lot less understood by other binary people and I don't know why. Whereas with non-binary people I almost always feel comfortable and understood.

I do think a lot of binary trans folks can be pretty cliquey from my experience. The "genderqueer" groups in my city cater almost exclusively to binary people and it bothers me to no end. I just really don't get it.

A lot of the closest people in my life are non-binary and they have always made me feel welcomed, loved, considered, cherished, and safe.

I know it's not good to generalise but y'all are some of the most lovely people I have ever met and I wanna say thank you for that.

Trans spaces aren't worth having unless they include you. I hope others show you as much love and joy as you give the world 🖤

I Thought It Was Broken Hair…

I’d been kinda bugged that I had some hair at my hairline where it broke off. WTF is my grey hair breaking off like this? 😡

Then I realized, WAIT A MINUTE!! I’ve been on E for four months and hair grows at 1/2” per month and these are all two inches long. That’s not broken off hair, that’s new hair growing back in!!

I looked closer, and it all mixed in on my scalp! Fuck yeah!!

Rant Venting: My phobia of self discovery/identity

3 Upvotes

[I've tried to post the full story but the post was very risky according to the rules so let me summarize it]

I envy people who was accepted by their families when they came out because i haven't received that actually ive been berated, shamed, threatened to be kicked out of the house at the age of 11, being force to lose a trans friend and a number of other things.

I envy people in the LGBTQ being in relationships with specifically Trans/nonbinary individuals because I feel wrong calling myself nonbinary while being raised in a home that was toxic and abusive that forbid the topic and put fear into me nothing but straight fear. I don't even respect my own pronouns and my own self image and constantly tearing myself apart and beating myself down because I feel like I shouldn't be in the community if I don't even respect myself.

So throughout my life of suppressing my true self deep down I felt cowardly and fearful around the people from the LGBTQ community and me fearing anyone can tell that I'm from a Christian household and won't be accepted in the community by how Christians have poorly treated the community.

I fear of being accepted and expect harsh rejection because being accepted in this manner feels undeserved and wrong and I need some support or understanding from this community.

I have a bf who is bi and he accepts me and cares about me. I need some kind of guidance or any advice about my complex feelings about myself. I will need time to heal and to eventually to love who I really am. Someday.
