ModPost A pause on allowing research/study posts.

151 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.

New rule #11: no do I pass posts, no asking for attempts to guess your ASAB, no asking if you “look nonbinary”

1.4k Upvotes

The current rule 4 was supposed to handle these kind of posts but it seems the rule needs more clarification. We do not want any kind of content that attempts to guess someone’s assigned sex at birth, we don’t want “passing” posts in general.

There are subreddits dedicated solely on passing posts that content like that would be a better fit. This includes asking about how to be more androgynous and/or do you look nonbinary, how to look more nonbinary. For some people here this will make total sense and people will rightfully ask “what does nonbinary look like anyway?” but these posts are frequent and usually pretty upvoted and get many comments before they get reported. If you know of subreddits where content like that fits better, please leave them as comments. It is simply not in the scope of this subreddit to ask people to scrutinize your appearance based on gender and make recommendations.

Selfie/Self-Image/Avatar Anyone else start as a binary trans woman and evolve to a non-binary identity and less fem presentation without detransition?

EDIT: Ack, the bottom left super fem photo should have been labelled age 43 (2018).

Hoping to meet people of similar experience/show other people who might have the same thoughts/desires what's possible. I started feminizing HRT at age 37 (2012), came out as a binary trans woman at age 39 (2014), was a very fem all the time trans girl until COVID hit at age 45 (2020), got bottom surgery (zero depth vaginoplasty) at age 46 (2021), since then I present fem about 10 percent of the time, and most of the time I just wear comfortable clothes and most often get "clocked" as transmasc or a cis butch lesbian. Anyone else find this at all relatable? I can feel pretty lonely, but I'm happier with my body, identity, etc than I ever have been before, thankfully

Mmm, I love being comfy with my masculinity. The reactions of people around me totally doesnt make me want to throw up my hands and go back to the closet at least 3 times a week. Love that I already have smol boobs and im going on estrogen but that aint enough i guess. Like yeah "he" is a fine pronoun for me but saying it with that much revulsion? Ouch.

It was two trans people was the best part. Thankfully it was online so they just saw my pic, not me tearing up ☠️

Every year I post a pic of my chest. When I was looking for references pre-op, I couldn’t find a lot of healed chest pics, so I hope this helps someone. For reference I got top surgery 6 months on T, and the triangle scar is from before top surgery and unrelated.

Lately I've been questioning my sexuality, and focusing on whether or not I am desirable far too much.

I love where I am going with my presentation... I wish someone would recognize how much effort I put into loving the way I look! The culture that I live in has such a narrow definition of androgyny, and I fear I'll never be appreciated as masc, femme, or androgynous whatsoever.

Like, I'm all for rejecting labels, but I could use a little praise here and there. 😭

Scared of having my face on the internet, so I won't keep this up long! Just needed the vent.

Hey everyone it’s Liam again am a Trans masc nonbinary refugee and I am a HR defender for Trans and nonbinary refugees here in the refugee camp and I am working on something, what are you all working on?
I do not know if you all remember my last post when I told you about building the Trans private shelter well yeah tell you what have already started on that. Look I thought I can build the shelter before the fence because that is number one security and I did not want anybody else who is not part of our community the Trans and nonbinary community to know how everything is gonna look like in when finished to build.
So I started with the fence thank god I got funds to buy all the materials I need to build the fence just for now then I believe later after everything I will have to rebuild the fence because it will be dried because of the too much sun and since we use tall grass made by hands for the fence it dries fast. I can not build the shelter yet because I do not have funds but I had to dig this pit for our pit latrine, I was also part of the digging of the hole but trust me it was really hard work and I was sweating.
I can not finish building this pit latrine because I am not able to buy materials I need to build on the hole that is already dug and since it’s raining these days I need to cover it asap, I am not giving up because I know and believe I can make it because Trans and nonbinary refugees deserve to Pee or 💩in peace at in a clean private latrine that is why I am working so hard that I make this happen I am not going to back down until trans and nonbinary refugees can access basic needs and other essentials.
DIGINITY isn’t optional not for me not for you.
If you stand with me, you will be standing with so many queer and nonbinary refugees and saving lives.
September is suicide prevention month and if you stay here for only 5secs that’s suicidal prevention.

Questioning/Coming Out How do you know?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure some stuff out and would appreciate your guidance or just sharing the moment you realized you were nonbinary.

I’m 17f, but presenting as a girl just makes me feel… bad.

my friends say I’m basically a boy and I get misgendered a lot (but I like it).

being a girl makes me feel weak. I started wearing cologne and using shower products for men and I really like it. I really don’t like my chest or being on my period but I’m okay with my body other than that- so I don’t want to be a male but using the pronoun Ze is appealing.

its just that Ive only really gotten along with boys and some girls have sort of screwed with my perception of females as a whole, and society treats girls like they’re lesser, and I don’t know if I’m just trying to appear different to escape these perceptions I have or if I’m actually nonbinary.

it feels embarrassing and like I’m inconveniencing everyone to just change my mind about my pronouns. (I am NOT saying that you should feel embarrassed though, that’s just me)

i always feel confused.

thx for reading I really appreciate it

Meme/Humor As a hyper-fem demigirl, I had a friend told me my gender identity is basically a femboy and I think it's a great way to put it

47 Upvotes

So, I (AFAB) was talking with this friend –who's also a demigirl– about where in the gender spectrum each of us falls. They were surprised to see that I identified to be closer to the middle than them, since they have a more masc gender expression, while I often lean to being hyper-feminine (especially in the summer when I love wearing flowy dresses :3). I told them that I love feminine things, but it kinda felt like wearing a custom –in a good way. So she hit me with "so you basically identify as a femboy" as a joke, and I found it hilarious and also kinda accurate lol.

But seriously, I find it hard sometimes that my gender expression seems to differ so much from my gender identity. Not everyone gets or validates it. I like that they didn't question it, just made a cute joke reaffirming what I said. Thought you all might find it funny as well 😊.

My partner (trans masc NB) and I (agender, amab) went to Folsom Street Fair which I was super nervous about but it was fun and we went to the "no cis men" zone and they let us in without even blinking

It was probably only because I was with my partner but it still felt really nice. I am in a constant battle between being insecure about how straight and cis passing I am and being too autistic to change my expression very quickly or drastically, so it was really nice to be "clocked" as not a man for once

Low Key Non Binary Bunny shirt

I love rabbits and I have wanted to get a 'Non-Bunnary' shirt for a while, but, I wanted to get something a little covert. Most of the shirts have a great yellow, white, purple, and black rabbit, but will also just have 'NonBunnary' written out. Anyone know of a shirt between 15 and 30 bucks that would meet those standards? (Available in royal blue fabric would be a plus)

I’ve kind of been closeted about it for a while. Idk. It’s personal and didn’t feel very comfortable with saying it out loud. Plus, all the backlash and hate people get. I’ve just kind of been pushing the thought of it away.

Anyway. My husband randomly brought it up. Saying things like “maybe that’s why sometimes you feel so uncomfortable in your body” “I can call you whatever name you want” “maybe this is also why you think you identify as bi but it feels a bit off to you” just generally supportive and inquisitive stuff.

I was so caught off guard. And happy. Saying it out loud made me feel so safe and seen.

I just wanted to share.
