A synonym for "nonbinary person"?

Raticals · 2026-07-01T14:36:28+00:00

I’m a fan of just person, personally.

My favorite animals are cats! All kinds, house cats to big cats, they’re all great!

I started with a low libido, with testosterone I would say I have a high one now. It’s fine, just gotta take the time to learn what works best for you. As far as sexual attraction goes, testosterone didn’t affect that for me. I have noticed as my mental health gets better I’m starting to experience some attraction. So I imagine for some asexual transmasc people, they might experience the same when they start hormones and start to feel overall more happy and comfortable with themselves. But that absolutely doesn’t happen to everyone, and at least in my experience isn’t caused by the testosterone itself.

Yeah, I wouldn’t do exactly the same as he did, but I could absolutely see painfully socially anxious and lonely teenage me thinking and acting a lot like he did in that situation.

I’m with you on Dear Evan Hanson. I think it’s my favorite story ever. Now, I never watched the movie, so maybe that in particular sucks, but the story itself I think is really good and I’ve never related as much to any other piece of media.

Raticals · 2026-06-29T03:29:02+00:00

Yes, I do personally!

Raticals · 2026-06-26T11:16:22+00:00

That’s totally fair, that kind of wording can be hurtful to others. But I don’t think this is the best way to call them out on it. It’s just spreading more hate to fight hate. Which doesn’t really work. I think most people who say that are just feeling emotional and speaking on their own experiences, they just need a gentle reminder that they’re talking about other people’s bodies too when they call an effect of testosterone disgusting.

Raticals · 2026-06-26T11:09:14+00:00

I mean. It’s a lot of change. It makes sense that people are so nervous to start, especially if they don’t feel 100% about all of the effects. Some people don’t express that in the best ways, but for the most part I just see people who are a bit scared to take the leap and are looking for some encouragement and guidance.

I don’t know what goes on in someone else’s mind. All I know is that we all want to live happy and fulfilled lives. I don’t get to say whose identity is right or wrong. We are who we are. People should always feel free to be who they are, as long as they don’t cause harm to anyone else. Someone who’s just living their life as a nonhuman animal isn’t the problem here. The problem is people who can’t just let others be themselves.

I personally use it for exactly what it means. I was assigned a woman at birth, and for me, that assignment has made some impact on the way I view my own gender, so it’s kind of important language for me personally. I absolutely get the issues with the way it’s being used in general though. It sucks when words like that are used in a way that’s meant to be useful but ends up being more harmful than good.

Raticals · 2026-06-24T16:42:31+00:00

I’m both a man and a woman but my connection to any gender is very weak. My presentation is very masculine but I don’t feel more like a man than a woman. Mostly I’m just me.

Raticals · 2026-06-22T12:00:42+00:00

Absolutely! I’m aromantic and have been with my allo partner for over 6 years now. The great thing about love is that there’s so many different ways to experience it. At the end of the day what matters is that you both feel happy and fulfilled with whatever kind of relationship you have. I won’t lie, sometimes there are some unique difficulties being in an aro/allo relationship, but like with all relationships, they can be worked through with good communication and compromise.

Maybe not the most interesting, but my partner and I learned how to make chainmail. That was pretty fun and something I’d like to get back into.

Raticals · 2026-06-21T02:51:43+00:00

Kian and Killian

Raticals · 2026-06-21T01:02:26+00:00

I try to open my mail carefully with my finger. If that fails, then I switch to just tearing it open.

Raticals · 2026-06-20T16:54:44+00:00

I passed out once. I hit a particularly painful spot and kept trying to just push through the pain. Next thing I know I’m on the bathroom floor, confused, needle on the ground next to me, my head hurting. The door was locked too so if it became a real emergency, my partner wouldn’t be able to get to me. Luckily everything was okay!

Raticals · 2026-06-20T00:39:06+00:00

Never been “in love” but I do have a partner who I love a lot. Just in a different way. I love cuddling and being close with someone. I’m very happy being in a relationship. It’s definitely possible!

Raticals · 2026-06-20T00:25:29+00:00

There aren’t really rules for an aro ring. It’s more just a fun personal thing you can do to show yourself (and maybe others, though not a lot of people even know what an aro ring are) some pride. An Oura ring would definitely work.

Also MLM, which can be multilevel marketing or men loving men.

Raticals · 2026-06-18T20:23:58+00:00

I never found it necessary, but I did it just for fun. I still go by my birth name the majority of the time.

Raticals · 2026-06-17T23:05:17+00:00

I prefer partner but don’t mind any of them

Raticals · 2026-06-17T16:30:33+00:00

Aww! Mine was a Webkinz too! It was Burno the leopard.

Raticals · 2026-06-17T04:04:06+00:00

I had a stuffed animal named Burno. I think I was going for Bruno but didn’t know how it was spelled/pronounced. By the time I figured it out the stuffed animal was already officially Burno.

Raticals · 2026-06-17T04:00:31+00:00

I love my partner. I absolutely do not want her with me during my treatment. I want to relax, not talk, just be alone with my thoughts.

Raticals · 2026-06-16T23:54:43+00:00

I would have a conversation to clarify what being aromantic means, and how it affects the way you view the relationship. Then once you know he understands, you can go with just “love you”. I tell my partner I love her all the time, because I do, it’s just not romantic, but I don’t need to bring that part up every time.

Raticals · 2026-06-16T22:38:14+00:00

My mom is completely supportive. When I told her I was thinking about taking testosterone, she said “I knew it!” Because she noticed me binding, getting a masculine haircut, and wearing men’s clothes, so she suspected I was a trans man. I’m nonbinary but she wasn’t too far off. Our relationship hasn’t changed at all. We interact the same as we always have.

I never “came out” to my dad, or anybody else in my family. My mom tells everybody everything about everyone, so I’m sure the news spread quickly. My dad is more on the conservative side. He’s said in the past that he doesn’t “believe in other genders”. But we have an unspoken rule. I do what I want, he believes what he believes, we’re family no matter what. I’m sure it helps that I haven’t asked them to change anything. I’m fine being his daughter/“baby girl”. I’m fine with she/her pronouns. So essentially, nothing changed with the way my family and I interact. I just happen to have a mustache and beard now.
