#NonBinaryPositivity

4 posts3 participants0 posts today

It’s ok to be scared about the idea of being nonbinary if you’re questioning.

Growth and change are often scary, especially when dealing with labels considered “controversial” by many. There’s nothing inherently wrong with being afraid.

Just remember that there are many of us who have been where you are now, and many can help you find your courage.

You are not alone.

It can be hard to look back at your life as an older nonbinary person.

The ways in which society held you back in earlier years becomes more obvious with age. It can be especially complex when young nonbinary people around you are able to thrive in ways that you had wait to experience.

But your history, your memory, is valuable. You are needed to remind us of how bad it has been, what it's still like around the world, and how important it is to continue to fight for more.

Being out, proud, and obnoxiously nonbinary is immensely important right now.

Hateful people want to scare us into hiding and invisibility, and some of us will have to comply.

So be out for those who can't. Remind the world that nonbinary people exist. Make it clear that our enemies are taking rights away from real people.

We are here to stay.
