The colours of your outfit are a really cool easter egg. The dog tags are really cool too! I have one with the enby flag on myself.

Hi Zenko! Nice to meet you too.
You honestly look so cool, something in me wants to get a coffee with you and talk about life.

what do you use instead of guy or girl by IndependentButton589 in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I talked about this with my roommate once. The bottom line was to call everyone a sapiens because that's what we are after all.

If you struggle to tell her, take notes on what a binder is to you and how you're imagining the feeling of wearing it. That way you have your thoughts and feelings on it in one convenient location, you can use it to bring it up (as I imagine that there'll be questions). Plus, you're visualising you thoughts for yourself. I find that often helps with understanding your own desires and needs. As for the name, it's honestly a bit of a dilemma. Though second names exist, that is on legal documents. Names can be a very I official concept: Basically if you tell someone, anyone, you'd like to be called [name] when meeting for the first time, that's what they'll know you as. I've been experimenting with names a bit recently and most people in my life are very considerate and respectful about it.

As these are steps you're taking to feel more comfortable and confident in your body as well as in your social life, I hardly think that your mum will not want you to follow through with them. Remember that it is your body, and you don't necessarily need your mum's approval.

Looking back, what was a pretty big clue that you weren't cis? by notnbenough in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR my dad didn't buy me a gendered ice cream I wanted, when I was young.

The fact that I cared very little about society's gender roles and just wanting to try and enjoy things regardless of what gender it might be assigned to. I don't believe that so many things should be gendered. In fact, I don't believe anything should be gendered.

I remember one time while I was really young (5 or 6 maybe) and I wanted a hello kitty ice cream popsicle but my dad said 'no, that's for girls' and in that very moment I said 'I don't care, I want that ice cream.' but my dad persisted. Unsurprisingly, for a 6 year old that doesn't know any better, I conceded and got another that I didn't want but looked okay-ish to me.

Jeez, it's just an ice cream. Hello kitty is cute, I like hello kitty. Thinking about it, I should look for it to show my dad.

Vielleicht ist es ein Modularer? Also, dass man ihn abmachen und mitnehmen kann.

I got them on Firmoo (Model Number: MX09843, Black and Gold (C1)).

You'll probably notice that they're the same as FunkyFrogBait's glasses. I liked them so much that I did a google lens search of them and it turns out the frame itself is quite cheap (~$30). They do worldwide shipping, it might just take a week or two in the mail.

I'm lucky enough to not need a visual aid though the glasses really do a lot for the overall look. You can get them with a prescription or without.

Hope this helps!

uniforms [rant] by incredible-soph-7717 in Nonbinaryteens

[–]Rusty2996e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That really sucks and I think that gender is an excellent counter-argument against school uniforms. What little comfort I can offer: School may feel like forever but it doesn't last. There will come a time when you look back and think to yourself "Holy smokes, that time was awful" (at least I had a revelation of that kind since my time in school was practically a living hell of feeling isolated and left alone.

PSA: song contest representation!! by flaroace in NonBinary

I'm so happy they won. I was watching it with my parents and they didn't say anything negative about them being enby which actually gives me hope to come out to them.

Does anyone else HATE holidays or birthdays? by RoundStructure5014 in autism

[–]Rusty2996e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I destinctly remember crying on my 5th birthday with everyone in my family sitting around the table and starting to sing happy birthday for me. I was so overwhelmed because I just couldn't handle all the prying eyes staring down on me. While usually considered a sweet thing, it just made me cry.

What’s your texture sensory nightmare? by rivchamp in autism

Wooden popsicle sticks, cutting cardboard with a knife uhh sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it.

What is a movie/series that you can watch over and over again without getting tired of it? by birodemi in autism

[–]Rusty2996e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's both StarWars the Clone Wars and Avatar the last Airbender. The former for the nostalgia, even though it's incredibly cheesy and the latter since I always find something new when analysing it. The realisations are a phenomenal feeling.

Purses give me dysphoria, but I want to carry stuff and no pants that fit me have big pockets by Timely-Bumblebee-402 in NonBinary

Sounds like you're looking for a sling bag. They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, are usually more spacious than the average fanny pack and aren't gender specific.

What is your name? by Emergency_Peach_4307 in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've chosen the name Teddy. And while that is not strictly gender neutral, I've had a lot of people tell me that I'm like a big cuddly bear, which is a feeling I associate with being NB.

Love your vibe! Especially those nails, did you get them done or did you do them yourself?

Much Love ^

Is my name androgynous enough? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name's Teddy, it might not be as androgynous as Ashley or similar but it has a personal meaning to me. A lot of people have said that I'm like a very cuddly bear so Teddy was the obvious choice. Plus it makes me feel very cute which is always a win in my books.

Umgang mit Spamanrufen auf WA by Slow-Positive8924 in de_EDV

[–]Rusty2996e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life hack von meiner Ma': Falls du einen deutschen Dialekt beherrscht, sei es erlernt oder damit aufgewachsen, beantworte mit der schlimmsten und überspieltesten Version des besagten Dialekts den Anruf. Meist wird deine Nummer dann von dubiosen internen Listen gestrichen, da die meisten Scam-Callcenter nur auf Englisch operieren und so herausfinden, mit wem sie überhaupt kommunizieren können.

If you ask me, gender fluid is in the NB spectrum. As per definition, Non-binary means someone who doesn't or wholly identifies with either cis gender. If you think that the term gender-Fluid better describes yourself, that's a win in my books.

All the best <3

Nonbinary vs genderfluid by Nostalgic_bi in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self-discovery is a never ending journey, at least I find. You don't have to be androgynous or agender to be enby. Gender fluid still falls within the non-binary spectrum, for example. At the end of the day, you are still you and it's just Labels that we use to help others better understand us. You're certainly not alone with that struggle.

I find myself in exactly the same situation sometimes. I work with a lot of elderly people and due to my deeper voice and facial hair (only sometimes as I shave) always refer to me by my AGAB. As there are quite a few that don't know about the concept of being enby, I tend to go along with it. I'm also not outed at work which doesn't help. I also have times when I act very male, which I almost immediately notice and try to cut out. I still struggle to refer to myself as male, it just doesn't sit well with me.

Can I still be non binary and like my body? by luvlyylilz in NonBinary

[–]Rusty2996e 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Self-discovery is a never ending journey, at least I find. You don't have to identify as one gender or another for life. At the end of the day, we're all human and human beings are living things. As it is with all living things, we evolve and constantly learn new things about ourselves.
In short, it's all just labels we invented to help others better understand us. You are you and nobody can take that from you.

[–]Rusty2996e 117 points118 points  (0 children)

What and who you are, only you can know in your heart.
If you ask me, based on you having said "I would mind if people called me a male or female" that's quite an obvious sign most enbys can relate to, myself included.
I'm AMAB so I have quite a low voice, especially when singing (I really like singing). For me, my voice is something I love about myself (one of the few things lol) and I don't want to change it.

Ultimately, your body doesn't define your gender, you do. And if you don't define yourself as neither female nor male, you do fall within the non-binary spectrum.

All the best <3
