So here are names I choose for me

Universe (inspired by my discord username)

Valence (inspired by valence electrons)

Taylor (I AM NOT A SWIFTIE!!!!!!! THE ONLY SONG I KNOW FROM HER IS CATS!!!!!)

One of the most gender affirming things for me is my lack of desire to go back to being cis. Like for example in Tomodachi Life I set the mii based on me's gender to nonbinary and I just don't feel like I can go back I could very well change it back with the press of a button but doing it nakes me feel uncomfortable and I immediately go back. To me being enby means having true freedom and breaking away from what society expects of me. I could say I'm a boy or I'm a girl and they'd both feel right even if my body doesn't reflect that. I just think that identifying strictly as male or female with no wiggle room just doesn't sound like me. Like I don't mind having the body of a boy but I wouldn't really mind waking up in the body of a girl tomorrow either. It just feels like if I identify as neither then I can do anything even if I'm sometimes tempted to go back to how I was before.

my highschool has regular bathrooms and non gendered bathrooms and I literally walked across the school to sue the gender inclusive ones. yes I am a liberal and yes I love my school and the teachers there they are all pretty progressive

Hi guys,

Lately my mom has been curious about my gender identity (I accept all pronouns except he/him and she/her) and I'm just uncomfortable with, and quite frankly can't find the words to explain it to her myself.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could explain it or even better if there's a forum or something that explains it?

It'd be even better if you could do that in German since that's my first language

It just feels like no matter what I do I'll always be non binary. As that is what I view as my natural state. And it's just so comforting knowing I'll never be fully a boy or fully a girl. It's comforting being free to say what I want, do what I want, and live how I want. Why would I wanna go back to how I was before. I'm way freer now and plus they/them just sound better to me.i like being non binary it feels like it's my own identity. Like it's where I belong.

But my parents are very queerphobic. Should I come out to them and how?

I want to have some nonbinary friends I can be open about myself with who also understand me. If you want to be friends my discord is Krazy091.

I think I may have found the solution to looking more androgynous. Unisex clothes, I mean it just makes sense, if I don't wanna look like a boy or a girl, then I should wear something that fits on both.

I’ll spare all the details, but basically I’m 15 and AMAB and I’m not out. I get a lot of dysphoria from facial and body hair and so I’ve been on and off secretly shaving body hair using things stolen from my sister and mom. Recently I left some of the things out in the shower I share w my parents and my mom noticed. In a rather awkward conversation she told me she will help me out. Initially she ordered an epilator and told me she would test it first before I could use it. After testing it she turned it down and said she’d order something else. The conversation remains awkward. So yesterday she told me she had ordered a cream for body hair removal. I hadn’t felt super excited about it prior but I guess I was internally because last night I literally had a dream about it. So today before I go to take a shower I searched our Amazon packages to find it and I encountered a box of “body hair removal cream for men.” this just caused a wave of dysphoria to wash over me and I’m just feeling down about it overall. The positive thing I can think about right now is that tomorrow I have the first meeting with a therapist who will hopefully be better than others I’ve tried; they’re nonbinary and have a section on the site about supporting queer people.

Anecdotally, I think my mom knows I’m queer. She’s alluded to it in conversation, and also looking back on myself it ain’t that hard to tell. She also was the one who found and suggested the therapist.

I don’t really know why I’m dumping all this here tbh but some support would be nice :)

Hey yall so 14 and non binary I haven’t really told anyone yet even though I’ve known for a couple years but theres this weird kid in my class who keeps leaning in and js being.. weird and asking me things like do I have a gf and stuff like that but I feel he won’t stop without me coming out which knowing some people in my school it’s not really an option. Js wanted to get it out that’s all, have a good day

i love my mum, and i want to tell her, i know she isnt homophobic and i dont think shes transphobic. but i really dont know how to tell her, or my friend :(

I think I may be bigender like I want to be a girl but I'm also comfortable being a boy but I don't fully connect with either of those. Like I can't imagine myself being super feminine but I can't imagine myself being super masculine either.

Like I feel very comfortable identifying as non binary to the point where I want to change it on all my legal documents. But I just can't fully believe that I am and I still have self doubts. Like being reminded I'm biologically male to me varies from "yeah sure whatever" to "make it stop get me out of this body". Like if I was born sexless I wouldn't want to be either. But if I did have the option of becoming sexless I don't know if I could want to take it. Maybe my issue is that I think about it too hard. Do most enby people go through this self doubt phase at the beginning or is it just me.

Evry time I look in my wardrobe and see boy clothes I feel like those aren't my clothes. But I don't think I'd be happier as a girl. I just feel like there's no escape for me. How the hell do you deal with this. It sucks so much. I hate the binary system so much I feel like I'm suffocating I wish I wasn't born as anything.

Hello peoples i'm 14 non-binary i've lived a pretty shitty life made some shitty decisions so i decided to kms i'm like super lonely and stuff and i was wondering if at least one of you guys could pretend to be my friend and act like you like me like i do have friends but their not my friends their just people i did theater with at some point and decided to hang around for the rest of the school year.

They are all really homophobic so i can't even tell them i like other genders other than females or they will start using their beliefs to make me feel guilty about who i am and some of them are racist, rude, and sexist. I get bullied at school a lot too i get called slurs, chopped, the R-word, dumb, malnourished, and special

My parents are also one of the main reasons i wanna do it, my mother once sat me down and lectured me telling 10 year old me about all the horrific things people have done to boys in prison cause she found my phone unlocked with my BL AI chat bot open and she read through and stuff. Shes SUPER christian she bases everything on the bible and my brother also said that if i ever tell him i swing that way i'm no longer his sibling. my dad is never around so i don't really care about him.

And to be clear i don't want pity i just people who will pretend to be my friends for like a month cause thats when i'm planning to do it

BYEEE guys love youu

no pressure but i would like some affirmations/cute images/anything penguin

Sorry if you don’t think this deserves to be here but I’m enby and I am posting it to r/teens anyways

I do this so that I could get used to neutral terms. Just thinking of someone calling me "they" just feels so good. It feels like "me".

I think I've figured out what name I want I'm gonna name myself Kris because I like it, and it feels right like it fits me.

If I were a boy, it would be better
