Hello im Jett

[jettfromtumblr]

Im very socially awkward so just bear with me. Im 20 years old and nonbinary, using they/them pronouns. I am AFAB, and still unsure about what steps i even want to take regarding transition, if any at all. I do have dysphoria, but its more related to how other percieve me than how my body feels. I hope to get some friendships and support out of this forum.

Hello Jett and welcome.  Don't worry about the social awkwardness here.  Many of us are or were due to our gender dysphoria.  Being unsure is also all right.  We all have questions about where our lives are headed.  This is a good place to talk about those things as we are a like minded group.  We are here to support each other first and foremost.  Please join in the conversation and post any questions you have.  We'll do our best! 

Cheers,

Jani

Hello again and welcome aboard!  You've figured out there's more than one way dysphoria can affect folks, so being unsure about where you want to go with it is both normal and less a barrier than it might seem to be.  We're all here to help with any questions you might have, so feel free to jump in anywhere.  We have had a large influx of new people who are non-binary, so I'm hoping to see some new and insightful conversation in that section of the forum in the near future.  (I'd love to know where y'all found us.  We've been waiting for you. )

 

If you haven't already, you're welcome to join our Discord server as well.  Plenty of NB folks hang out there as well, many of whom don't spend time on the forums.

 

Glad to have you with us!

Hi Jett, welcome

 

As Jani and Dev have said, we are all different.

 

Don't be worried.

Interestingly I was reading the other day that there were more B folks than L, G or T.  I hope I'm not conflating Non-Binary and Bi-Sexual.  If so I apologize.

It does seem this community that has gotten even less attention and care than transgender.

Non-binary folks are those with dysphoria who aren't fully compelled to transition from birth to the entirely opposite gender.  It's also a gender designation, rather than a sexual orientation.
