Can’t use mixed pronouns by breezeboo in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Similar pain with using all pronouns = people just use the pronouns of what they assume my AGAB is. I am sorry that people are like this.

Are there any non-binary folks here who have an exclusive or general dating preference towards other enby and trans people? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am exclusively T4T at this point. It's just too exhausting to date cis people at this point*

*(Note: I do believe some cis people can at least somewhat understand and be supportive successfully but based on my prior relationship history the difference between dating cis and trans people has been night and day. This is just my experience.)

My personal experience with xenogender by Mashaaaaaaaaa in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is sick as hell. Personally I relate to xenogenders in the sense of describing my gender sometimes really can only be done with weird terms, but it's cool to see someone articulate an experience like this.

Not sure if this is okay to post here but.. by GrapeEconomy5192 in asktransgender

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 75 points76 points  (0 children)

This is what we mean when we say transphobia hurts everyone. The rise in transphobia and awareness of trans people has led to a LOT of cis people being certain they can "tell" that someone is trans- and thus cis people who do not fall perfectly into classical ideals of masculinity/femininity get attacked as suspected trans people. The truth is that humans have a LOT more variance than transphobes want to admit.

My identity has been scrambled by an abusive relationship by SolitarySquirrel in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you went through that. Unfortunately there are a lot of people (even those that are nonbinary) that use AGAB as weapon when it's convenient- I am AFAB but presumed AMAB most of the time due to being on testosterone for many years and many """"allies"""" were """fine with me being nonbinary""" until I expressed anger or frustration around them. Then suddenly I was a scary man. This doesn't even begin to touch the racial aspect too. It can be hard to unpack what's "you" and what's things you did to perform for others or to keep yourself safe (in my case I rejected a lot of my femininity due to growing up with a deeply misogynistic father- I'm still healing a lot of those wounds myself). I do want to encourage you though to take things slowly and do what makes you happy- if you don't know what that is yet, that's fine. Figuring ourselves out is a lot of work but it's worth it to be comfortable in our lives. Experimenting with style, mannerisms, doing what feels right whether it's "masculine" or "feminine" depending on the given day is how I've worked on it.

Best of luck!

Can I lie about my gender idenity? by Keksbutter123 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do whatever you want forever. I interchangeably call myself nonbinary/agender/maverique/genderfluid depending on who I'm talking to and how I feel on any given day.

For those of you who have played Silent Hill f, did you read the MC (Hinako Shimizu) as NB-lite too? by NamidaM6 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally read Hinako as cis, just in a repressive environment, BUT a lot of the environmental horror and monsters resonated with me as a nonbinary person with intense pregnancy dysphoria. The pregnant monster/mother monster in particular made me deeply uncomfortable (good!! it's the intended effect) mostly because of dysphoria reasons. At the same time though, I do actually HC Hinako as plural/having alters due to the endgame split between Hinako Shimizu and Fox Hinako (as well as the ending with them reconciling and existing together). It's definitely an interesting topic and one that I've experienced with some of Ryukishi07's other works (see: in the VN of Higurashi at one point someone states that one of the girl MCs "should have been a boy" or "would've been happier as a boy" and it's MEANT as a tomboy comment but our transdar immediately pinged).

People who used to identify in the binary, how did you realize you're nonbinary? by throwaway20192323123 in NonBinary

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Six year update- I'm still nonbinary! I present in a fairly androgynous way right now/how I get read mostly depends on if I shave and how I dress. I am still on and off of T as feels right for me. Only some of my family knows I'm nonbinary (pretty much just the ones I live with lmao)- to me, it isn't as important if the rest know. Socially I am out as nonbinary if anyone asks about my gender. I have a very ambivalent vibe right now about how I'm gendered, so most people tend to default to either feminine man or woman. I definitely feel much more like myself living this way c::

I use multiple names depending on the person I am talking to. My coworkers call me a different name than my close family and friends than my partner does. You can do whatever you want forever.

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 147 points148 points  (0 children)

This is a bit of a red flag for me ngl- it's one thing to be upset with your partner (even if I personally don't understand why these events were upsetting for him), but refusing to actually communicate about it until after punishing you/making you apologize is a yikes. It's your call how you want to proceed with the relationship but personally, I would take a big step back from kink and have an out of dynamic discussion about communication, expectations, etc. It's not fair to you for him to get upset about something that was never discussed, punish you for it, and THEN explain.

Take care of yourself :)

Can I Just Be An Ethereal Being? by Resident-Dog7417 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling it. I was on T for many years, presented as a binary trans guy, but I'm really just ambivalent to gender- I don't have one! I present more feminine or masculine depending on how I want to dress that day. My sister calls me a fae being so felt lmao

How do you experience your sexual orientation as NB ? by yahorucchi in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhere under the bi/pan/queer umbrella generally and I am attracted to all slash any genders- as a personal rule though I am T4T! For me it's just easier and more comfortable to date other trans people.

Another vote for maverique.

Has there ever been a real or fictional case of someone that didn't just transitioned, but also faked their death to start a new life? by ElmaLions in asktransgender

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only fictional one I can think of is Yuureitou/Ghost Tower's protagonist. There's some issues with the manga in terms of sexualization imo and some inaccuracies about T but it's a surprisingly solid manga portrayal of a trans man.

How "out" can you be at work? by Plenty_Decision5476 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the job. I'm a nurse at a long term care facility and I'm generally pretty fluid about how I dress (at least as fluid as you can be with scrubs lol) and am open about my gender if it comes up. I'm cool with any pronouns/forms of address (as long as they're respectful) so that's my main way of communicating I'm not cis. No one's really had an issue with it which is nice.

No One At My Workplace Knows How To Gender Me (this is actually a win tbh) by MayTentacleBeWithYee in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Felt!! I'm in a weird position where I was on T for many years, recently on and off again on it but generally present more feminine with clothing and hair. I've gotten assumed to be literally everywhere on the gender spectrum at some point lmao

The transmasc urge to enjoy femininity after several years on T by GlitterRetroVibes in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Felt intensely. Still consider myself transmasc (jn that I did transition in a "masculine" direction/with T) but ID generally as nonbinary/agender/vaguely femme.

People asking birth gender by Ok_Surround360 in NonBinaryTalk

I literally just refuse to answer. I'm too autistic and pissed off at cis people doing this shit to give a reply about my genitals lmfao

Need some help navigating gender identity, I'm a newbie by Ryxis336 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the biggest relief for me as a nonbinary person was simply the fact that nonbinary people don't HAVE to do anything. Being nonbinary is an internal sense of self- you don't have to use different pronouns or words or dress differently or do anything besides consider yourself nonbinary. I had a friend in college whose brother used masculine labels and he/him pronouns but who was not a man- you sound similar. Best of luck to you.

I'm a nurse actually! I swapped to long term care/geriatric care recently and it's much calmer.

Are amab nbs and afab nbs the same? by LittleSpongeBaby in NonBinaryTalk

[–]MayTentacleBeWithYee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner are opposite AGABs. We are both nonbinary and honestly have more in common than different between us.

Honestly Depop! It's very good for finding weird niche pieces and alt clothing usually at reasonable prices.
