So could I just go "Hey I'm a weird gay enby pagan furry, ask me anything" and people would, and it would not be terrible?
Let's try it out!
@latrani what is enby?
@RebelMoogle enby -> NB -> Non-binary (gender) -> Not male or female, sorta 'none of the above' in my case.
@latrani aahhh! I didn't know enby is non binary. :D
@RebelMoogle It's clearer when spoken than written, but I like the look of it. Been using that in preference to 'trans' (even though I'm arguably both) because lots of what people think they know about the latter doesn't apply to me so much. :)
@latrani I see. I always wondered if I was nb myself, but I don't really have much of a frame of reference. I didn't even know what gender identity and expression was until a few years ago.
I definitely know my identity is not traditionally female or male, but everything else seems to be.
Need to make more lgbtq friends when I get to Seattle. ^^
@latrani just two more weeks! :D
@RebelMoogle Yeah there's a whole spectrum of non-binary experience, from "I have some philosophical concerns" to "I super-duper need to do a lot of physical transition, but not to 'the opposite'"
I think it's a good thing for everyone to question and explore, and it seems like there's more and more people doing so, which is really cool.
And yeah, Seattle seems to be a good place for it. ;)
