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.
Something I wrote about #writing, #suffering, #questioning, and — most importantly — whether #cats can make jokes.
Don't worry about how long it took for you to learn that you're nonbinary.
There are countless reasons beyond your control that can slow your progress, making you question your gender for years (if you wonder at all).
The important thing is that you overcame those obstacles to get here.
If you want to call yourself nonbinary, you can.
It's alright if you're not sure how or what the specifics may be. Claim it, if the term feels right.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. ~ #AlbertEinstein #quotes #life #questioning
You should not be expected to know every possible nonbinary label you can choose from (or that you can make them yourself).
It’s ok to feel lost among them all and not know where to start when you’re questioning.
This is a new area of knowledge for you, and, like every new subject, there’s a lot to take in.
We all have to start somewhere. Take your time.
If you have recently figured out that you're nonbinary, then you'll be okay.
It's not the end of the world. You can adapt your existing life to fit you. Or, you can build a new one from scratch.
This is simply a new beginning.
" gyaaah thing won't let me edit and update but eh: https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113870289029546262 has more info, where I can babble on at my leisure.
(If you want to join mastodon, beige.party or tech.lgbt or historian.social would all be decent starting places.
Yes, you can move server later. Yes, you can export all your posts and relationships.
No, it's really not as complicated as you first expect, from not having considered it before.
Literally just try, thank. I'm free to answer questions wherever if I can help.) "

"If any cis or questioning people in the comments are still confused why anyone would "want" (need) to consider different options, remember the context.
Most of us already DIY their mood and function with caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, paracetamol, and others.
These are all over the counter non-food substances with therapeutic and side effects.
Plus cosmetic surgeries and (unregulated) supplements for people unhappy with their ageing process.
The difference here is a group of people whom we can target, attack ("justifiably", not), and scapegoat to stall for time while avoiding real causes like inequality. "

Are you a #skeptic or a #cynic?
#Skeptics tend to be open-minded, comfortable #questioning their #assumptions, and willing to change their minds; #cynics tend to be #pessimistic and #assume the worst in people and events.
@CultureDesk This paper is super inspiring! What's shimmering in here is how much #pedagogy the art of transmitting the #understanding is fundamentally anchored in the science itself: The attained beauty would be as much aesthetics as it is a transmission power.
This supports: #Science needs to be reinvented (by #questioning, #critics-izing, and #reformulation made more beautiful) by every single scientist. Only then can it progress and can the quest for #beauty continue motivating.

She announced in 2019 that she #identifies as #nonbinary, and uses #She / Her #pronouns. “I think the biggest #challenge of my life has been being #born #male,” she shared in the #interview

It's #NationalComingOutDay!!! 
Yay!
But it's OK if you're not ready!
Besides, you can't really "come out" in only one day anyway. Coming out is a process, not an event. And it's *your* process so do it anyway you'd like.
Taking baby steps is totally acceptable!

You don't need to have somehow "known" that you were nonbinary as a child if that's not how things went for you.
There are many ways to learn about yourself, and all of them are legitimate.
Some flowers bloom in the spring, others in the summer, and some can even push up through the snow.
You have (and will) change and learn in your own time, which is always going to be the right time.
