The first few weeks, months, even years and living with the truth of your nonbinary nature can be isolating. However, there are people out there who will love and care for you exactly as you are.

The world can seem like a dark place, but scattered throughout it are innumerable points of the brightest light.

All you need to do is look.

Nonbinary people really do take on a lot of forms.

Some may be opposites of each other. Others mix qualities and elements that, under other circumstances, rarely exist in one person.

We may struggle to understand one another at times due to such variety, but that's ok. It's our differences that make things interesting.

You don't have to match cis standards of beauty as a nonbinary person (no one must).

You can make your own beauty and you will succeed.

There will probably be days where being nonbinary in a society built on the gender binary is too much to bear.

It's okay to withdraw for a time (as much as you're able) in order to regroup.

Rest is necessary in all aspects of life. The harder you work, the more rest you will need.

Being nonbinary is a beautiful, fascinating, and sometimes otherworldly experience.

The joys of it aren't restricted just to you, a nonbinary person, either. All the people who care for you get to brighten their lives with your nature.

Everyone has gifts, and so do you.

You can prefer having a primarily feminine or masculine presence as a nonbinary person.

Free yourself from gendered expectations of all kinds and enjoy being you.

It is not a safe time to be brazenly nonbinary. However, now is a great time to be open about it, if you're able.

Bigots are trying to erase us in every way that they can.

Be loud enough that any ensuing silence is palpable. Shine bright enough that their cowardice and hate cannot hide.

Make life hard for them.

Sober nonbinary people are incredibly resiliant.

You've made it through so much already that you're proof of the strength of the human spirit.

You're not only a credit to our nonbinary community, but to humanity as a whole.

For many nonbinary people, there will be no opportunity to "go stealth." You may have to live being an activist and a teacher for as long as you refuse to choose one of two closets. It is a difficult life to live and it's hardly voluntary. I hope, however, that you can bear up under the burden until a time comes, when no one will have to carry it. For now, try to live with pride. #NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinaryPride #NonBinary #activism #bigotry

Even if you choose a well-known label, you will still have to discover how you in particular use it.

Labels help you describe yourself. They don't (and usually shouldn't) tell you how to behave.

You're free to wear them in your own way.

It's alright to reevaluate your labels.

Language, people, and the world changes, and you have to adapt in your own way.

You don't exist to represent labels. Labels are for you to use.

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.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinaryPride #NonBinary #questioning

You don't have to be perfect to be valued.

You can find new relationships, loves, and a home as you are now.

We're all in progress.

I want to thank those nonbinary people who are able to be visible in society. It's a dangerous place to be, but we need you.

For those nonbinary people unable (or simply unwilling) to be visible, thank you for making the world a little less lonesome and dangerous by simply existing as you are.

#NonBinaryPositivity #NonBinaryPride #NonBinaryCommunity #NonBinary

It's alright to simply not know who, or what, you are. You may wonder after years spent questioning.

But much can be found in that limitless place. You'll learn about how others understand themselves as well as how to understand yourself.

It's time well spent.

Whatever you may be suffering though righy now, it's likely that other nonbinary people have been in a similar situation.

Some of us have gotten through to the other side, and there will be others to come after you.

You're not alone in your struggles. We are here for each other.

It's hard to live with the invisibility and violence that currently comes along with being nonbinary. It can even be expensive!

Nevertheless, there is a wild, chaotic magnificence in this barely-defined experience of being nonbinary.

Even while under immense pressure from all sides, any small amount of wilderness beautiful. I hope that you continue to preserve your own.

You can be a nonbinary person fed up with the entirety of "gender," while also fully supporting those who find comfort in aspects of it.

You can be nonbinary, functioning passionately and intimately within various aspects of gender, while understanding those who want out of it altogether.

You can simply not care about any of it!

There are many ways to move through the world that aren't contradictory. Coexistence is often the easiest path.

It's alright if you forget some of your labels occasionally. You're not doing anyone a disservice. You just have your arms full!

You're nonbinary whether or not you've experienced trauma.

Your sense of self in terms of identifying as nonbinary is as accurate as any cis person's sense of gender.

You should be taken as seriously as any other person who has survived trauma.

#nonbinarypositivity #nonbinarypride #nonbinary #trauma

Your understanding of the relationship between your body and your nonbinary gender experience is unique.

It doesn't have to resemble the experience of anyone else, including other nonbinary people.

Our community has a legacy of strange and wonderful diversity, and there's no harm in adding to that.
