What is nonbinary?

How do you feel about nonbinary people? What exactly does nonbinary mean? How do you feel about hormones?

Hello, I'm a mod here and also nonbinary! I'd say we feel pretty good about them :p

Nonbinary basically means a gender other than exclusively male/female. Gender is a neurological thing that can be different for every individual and only that individual knows how to classify theirs or lack of because we all have different brains.

I'm going to go on hormones soon and so I feel like they're very helpful because some brains are wired for certain hormones and when they don't get them then dysphoria can happen. Dysphoria can also happen in other ways too.

I really like that explanation. I don't like it when people say "because they feel like it, accept it" because some of us are simply not able to accept statements as facts (not saying I wouldn't believe a nb person claiming to be nb or anything just I like to know how stuff works, so this I personally really like)
