Fable - introduction

[fable]

I'm not sure I'm at the right place to post, but I'm a non-binary person and looking for people to be friends with who are as well, and also friends with trans and any other gender non-conforming persons.

Hi & welcome @fable . I am nonbinary too. Please tell us more about yourself. How did you come to realize your nonbinary? How did that change how you present to the world? Have people in your life been accepting? 

 

You'll find this is a very supportive and warm community. I hope you enjoy meeting folks here.

Welcome Fable

I don't consider my self Non-binary, but as you have seen, there are a number here who do.  Welcome.

Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Fable,

 

I hope you find this site as helpful as I do. It's not therapy, but it's a close second, because there's always someone online here to share their experiences, and support.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

Welcome Fable.  Perhaps i could categorize myself as nonbinary as i certainly have some male characteristics after 63 years of doing my best to be male.  I'm glad you've joined us in this wonderful mix of non cis gendered individuals.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Welcome to you, @fableI'm non-binary, too—and there's a lot more to being a human than gender identity, but trans folks live in a world of repression and self suppression. A safe place like this allows us to survive and to really thrive. To learn and help others. 💜

Hi, @fable!  Both trans and non-binary are large groupings that sometimes overlap! For example, I'm non-binary but 3+ years into HRT (long story), so I sometimes will speak of being "trans non-binary".

 

When you'd like, ask any questions you like or contribute to existing threads here...we are very supportive of each other. 

 

With best wishes,

I'm always interested in individuals' distinction between "trans nonbinary" and "nonbinary". I consider myself trans first and foremost because I'm not cis. Then, I think of nonbinary as a qualifier meaning I neither ID as a woman nor a man. But, I also consider myself transmasc-ish, so another way in which "trans" resonates with me.

My distinctions are pretty much identical to yours, @Vidanjali.  The only difference is my AMAB origin, which means I would consider myself transfem-ish.  My deliberately imprecise place on the gender spectrum thus lies on the fem side; that's where I'm happiest.

 

Cheers,
