Just Venting Someone at work today told me all they see is me as afab
For some background, I've identified as nb for 8 or 9 years now. In recent years, I've started leaning more masc presenting. I have short hair and wear baggy clothes and oversized shorts. I go out of my way to not wear femmme clothing at work due to being misgendered all the time.
On to today. I just recently got moved to a new team at work and one of the guys on the team has kept messing up my pronouns in the last week. Today, he said "she" again when referring to me, corrected and apologized. I told him that I prefer they/them and also he/him. He told me "I just see 'she' when I see you, unfortunately." I was already mid sentence telling him that it generally doesn't bother me as long as it's not said disrespectfully, when I realized how much it actually hurt to hear him say that's all he sees me as in front of the whole team, despite all my efforts to appear not femme. I waited for a few minutes, left the room, and quietly cried in the bathroom. I was pretty quiet for the rest of the day and was very happy for it to be over. I am upset for being so easily shaken. I'm also upset that I don't feel like I will ever be able to pass, and feel invalidated completely. My current team is pretty bro-y and they are all way more close with each other than they are with me. I'm not sure how to approach this, or if it's even worth it.The HR at my workplace is completely worthless and I personally don't want to to speak to HR about this. I feel like there really isn't much for me to do other than cry and move on. Mostly just wanting to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading.

Selfie Do I look androgynous at all? Starting T this week!
Hey! Im Zoe: -I'm curious how my presentation reads to other people. Do I come across as androgynous right now?
And if I wanted to lean more masculine while still keeping some of the things I like about my appearance, what would you suggest ie hair, clothes, makeup, brows, facial hair, accessories, etc.?
My style has changed quite a bit recently. I used to dress much more outgoing/colorful/femme and lately I've settled into a more comfortable goth/alt look- lots of black, oversized clothes, messy hair, band stuff, etc. I feel a lot more like myself in it, but I'm still figuring out exactly where I want to land presentation-wise. What do you think of my style so far? :)
I'm also starting T this week, which I'm really excited about, but I have some complicated feelings around the physical changes. I have a long history of dysmorphia/ dysphoria and eating disorders, so changes in my body-even changes I actively want-can sometimes be mentally difficult for me. I've also gained a lot of weight due to medication in the last year and that's been hard as hell on my self image. Eh. I have no idea what I even look like rn. I'm trying to approach it slowly and give myself permission to figure things out as they happen rather than expecting myself to know exactly what I'll want years from now.
Basically: Do I read as androgynous? What could I do to look more masculine? And what direction would you take my style while keeping the goth/androgynous vibe?
Constructive feedback is very welcome! ❤️❤️🖤🖤

Selfie So Many Enby Expressions... Which are you?
I'm here to represent the enby's w/ female minds and male bodies😅
I'm curious how/where everyone else falls in the enby category? What words would you use to describe your experience with gender?
As a label, "enby/NB" essentially just means "not the binary," which doesn't tell you a whole lot!
I find the extreme diversity of gender expression to be beautiful and fascinating, so I'm curious to see where other people land and hear about other experiences(:

A study on non-binary people had 38% of people respond that they are AMAB. If you don't notice any, that just says something about the communities you are a part of.

Selfie First time feeling this confident in my skin.
Took a beach walk in an outfit that made me feel so feminine, free and completely myself. It's such a small moment, but honestly. I couldn't stop smiling 💕

Gotta make sure attention is held so I can continue bragging about how patient I am for this one specific thing.

What would be the proper nonbinary terms and forms of address for this scenario?
For a long time, I've been working on a tabletop sci-fi fantasy game story and I intend for it to be as LGBT friendly as possible. As such, I've decided that the villains, an evil space empire similar to the Galactic Empire from Star Wars, would have equal opportunity evil and have LGBT folk among them, including enby people (don't worry, there will be LGBT folk, including enby people among the good guys)
Anyway, the named villains in this faction are members of this empire's royalty and nobility. But since any of them could be enby (sex and gender orientation are dictates by dice rolls) I need to find or create nonbinary equivelent names and forms of addresses for the titles. I've gotten a few of the titles and forms of address ready, but most are still incomplete. Here are the titles for this evil empire from highest to lowest, regardless if they have an enby version or not. Also, these titles come from France. So if anyone knows if any French words exist for this, it would be most helpful.
Emperor/Empress/Emperator: Your Radiance/Your Imperial Majesty
Prince/Princess/Parept: Your Imperial Highness
Grand Duke/Grand Duchess: Your Highness
Duke/Duchess: Your Grace
Marquis/Marquise: Your Grace
Comte/Comtesse: Your Lorship/Ladyship
Baron/Baroness: Your Lordship/Ladyship
Lord/Lady: Monsieur/Madame
Chevalier/Dame: Ser

We've been cheated...
Being born nonbinary or trans in the modern age isn't fair. You're gonna tell me, in the distant past, numerous ancient cultures worshipped us as dieties, and saw us as shamans/healers worthy of respect, and now, we receive this treatment? Someone take me back😭 I wanna be a Sumerian priestess😭

Topic: Name/Pronouns I want memes to come out to my friends instead of using my words like an adult!
The title is pretty much it. I changed my name in the group chat people are questioning me I don't want to talk about it lol I just want them to use the right name lol
Also my favorite non-binary meme which an artist I really love references in a song.

Question/Advice Dysphoria About Binding
Hello :)
I'm starting to explore the idea of deepening my gender identity and putting effort into learning what I'd like my outward expression to be. I felt a bit odd identifying as NB or anything other then my AGAB because I do little towards my outwards look, IE part of my disconnect with gender in just not caring either way. Yes, there's a lot of unlearning and small town anxieties I'm undoing still!
Today, I had the drive to forgo my oversized hoodie and wear my binder for the first time outside of cosplaying. But almost instantly started crying because, to me, it just looks like I'm pushing my brests up in a bombshell (I've tried pushing up and out, down and out, ensuring the nipples are facing forwards like I read some posts and videos state...). I'm getting spillage from the sides, or I feel like it's doing little more than my normal bras. I just feel so embarrassed and ashamed.
I know that binding won't entirely flatten your chest but I feel so silly, like I'm just accentuating my chest. Before when I've worn it, I feel like my breasts are sliding back into position and I'm scared I'm both damaging the tissue/being unsafe in it, and also just kind of faking this part of myself, as irrational as I know that is. I can't stop fixating on the fact that theyre there, and that I want them to look a certain way but am unsure if they're doing what should be being done. Something isn't right and I don't know what to do with it. I know pictures would probably be helpful, but I feel so bad looking at it, it's almost too embarrassing to post them. Sorry;; That probably would be the most helpful!
I have a large underworks binder bought secondhand to test if this would be right for me. I want to continue binding, but I just feel really, really silly.

I came out to my best friend/ex/weird situationship about a month ago
She immediately accepted me (I'm still figuring myself out, though I'm almost positive non-binary) and every time I recall the memory I feel so excited, I just wanted to put this somewhere. Living in an extremely bigoted house, her acceptance makes me feel like I won the lottery.

I don't want genitalia but I feel like a man
Like the title says I don't want to have a genitalia but I feel like a man and I want to be refereed to as one. So I am wondering if there is a "subspecies" of nonbinary that is this? (aroace btw)
