My youngest brother got a bunch of bracelet-making stuff for his birthday and he is obsessed with it. He made one with all the siblings' names on it, and it made me feel really bad about myself because that wasn't me. I'm not [deadname]. So I told him to make one with the name Rowan on it, and while he was making it he asked if Rowan was my nickname now, I said it was my name-name, and he said people are going to think Rowan was my boyfriend so I told him it was a gender-neutral name. I then asked him to make half pink, purple, and blue, and the other half, orange, yellow, white, light blue, and dark blue. Without him even knowing, he made a bracelet with my real name on it and the bisexual and aroace flag on it. I feel so HAPPY now! I went to his room and we went through all his beads to see if he had the colors, and didn't have the right pink for the trans flag and the black beads for the non-binary flag. I'm so happy right now. Having my flags on my wrist. I asked our grandma if she had the right bead colors and she didn't have the big beads but she did have the seed beads. I finished making one bracelet with the seed beads with the trans, non-binary, bisexual/romantic, and aroace flag colors! I'M SO HAPPY! I LOVE IT!!!!
Something as simple as beads and string can become so powerful.
Just so you know, I didn’t tell my youngest brother to make a bracelet with the bisexual and aroace flags on it. I just told him to make a bracelet with the colors pink, purple, blue, and orange, yellow, white, light blue and dark blue. But I did tell him that my name is Rowan.
When I was showing my grandparents the bracelet I even said, “It has my name on it!” and showed them the beads that say Rowan. My grandma smiled but my grandpa didn’t see anything.
Detrans nonbinary (or reidentified nby): someone who detransitioned to non-binary.
For example, someone have started self-identifying solely as binary (aptobinary), but then self-identified back with a non-binary identity (e.g. neutrois or maverique) again (regardless of one's birth assignment/natal AGAB or ASAB).
Some may see this as a fluid gender experience, but some may see this as a personal self-discovery as a result of questioning.
Edit: I originally saw this on youtube and can’t find the original post, but I did a bit of research, and here’s their website, and two of their pages that list self care and emotional support websites
"boys are cannon fodder and women are property, there is no third option"
It's this: "boys are cannon fodder and women are property, there is no third option" as @mhoye recently said over on mastodon.
It's always mystified me how angry and threatened conservatives are by non-binary people . . . existing and in other ways by asexual people simply . . . living. The anger & hysteria feels out of proportion until you remember the huge threat validation of such choices represents to their ideas of order.
Omg Pokemon icons! Can I please see a Nonbinary, Noibat, and an acespec, nebularomantic nonbinary noivern? (I think there are two flags for nebularomantic? Whichever is fine)
Context: sociopolitical is self-identitarianly, biopolitical is heteronomous. These are meant for those who reclaim politically (or conceptually/philosophically) manhood/masculinity, femininity/womahood, or non-binariness.
