Things People Who Are Non-Binary Wish You Knew
If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?
If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

Thanks for the tag
@jesusredeemedme2425 looking forward to this thread ❤️
1. If you've met one nonbinary person, you've only met one nonbinary person. The NB umbrella is expansive with all shapes and shades of identity and expression.
2. Ask for pronouns. As I mentioned, identities are diverse. I go by they/them, but not all NB people do.
Lol, I’ve heard that phrase used about people with autism.
I thought you went by she/they? Maybe i read it wrong.
