Are you non-binary?

What does non-binary mean?

For a long time, gender has been seen as a binary. Society is very fixed on the idea that there are two sexes, male and female, and nothing else is widely considered. However, this belief is changing as it becomes more and more evident that gender is indeed a spectrum, not just a binary. A growing number of people are identifying as genders that sit between the binary of male and female with a variety of labels available for people to identify with. Non-binary is an umbrella term for these folks. They may also identify as transgender but not necessarily so.

What does it mean to be non-binary?

People who don't identify as either 100% male or 100% female are non-binary. It means that they may not feel like either sex or might change between identifying as male or female. It is a term that covers all gender identities between cisgender (identifying as the same gender assigned at birth) and transgender (identifying as a gender other than the one assigned at birth) hence the term non-binary.

What does enby mean?

Enby is the phonetic spelling of the letters NB and is a shortened term for a non-binary person. It is often used in casual conversation but has the same meaning as non-binary

How do I tell if I'm non-binary?

Gender can be confusing, but if you don't fully identify as the gender you were given at birth or as the opposite sex, you could be non-binary. It's not a simple thing; gender identity is a journey to work out what you are most comfortable with. There are ways to work this out. Questions such as does being gendered by others a certain way make you uncomfortable? Which pronouns make you feel happiest? Do you aspire to androgyny? You could chat to other people in the non-binary community, try out different clothes and find what expression makes you most comfortable and have a look online to research different gender identities to find the one that fits you best.

Are all non-binary people transgender?

No. Some non-binary people identify as trans because they don't identify as the gender they were assigned at birth, but others don't feel that transgender expresses the way they identify.

    I am looking for a female online slave. Age, race, body does not matter. Must be loyal, dedicated and willing to submit herself within the confines of cyberspace. I will make sure that all communication is private and non-traceable to give you the peace of mind to focus on serving me. As time progresses, the relationship can become deeper and more real; but as I have a regular life, there will be no meetings and no financial demands. This is purely an offer for those who want to be slaves but are confined to regular lives or are smart enough to know that being a true slave is not necessarily a great experience. Please, if you consider this, make sure you can devote time for this. I do expect daily contact, detailed description, and obedience.
    As for myself, I am above 50, above average height, heavy but not obese, Caucasian, educated, demanding.
    As for the interactions, first and foremost I will make NO attempt to find out who you are and what you do. There will be no stalking, online or otherwise. I will not ask for ANY personal information. This is about fun, excitement, and a unfulfilled dream and desire and not about blackmail and real-life ***s. Once I am sure that you are dedicated I will suggest that you offer yourself to become my slave. Once I accept you we will move to the next exciting level. So, if you are interested or want more details or just chat to feel me out, don't be shy. And don't forget, your feeling of trust, safety and confidence are most important to me.

    "There's nowt as queer as folk" is an often-used phrase in the north of England and means there's nothing as strange as people. This term stems from the 16th-century usage of the word meaning 'odd, peculiar or eccentric.' Some people think of the word 'queer' as an insult given its use in the later 19th and early 20th century. From the 1980s however, the term was reclaimed by those who want to undermine that insult and use the name to show their rebellious, non-gendered approach to homosexuality. The queer community is vibrant and growing day by day.
    Being pansexual has nothing to do with a sexual attraction to pans (but if that's your fetish, go you!) and it's best not to crack this tired joke when speaking to someone about being pansexual. It's a label some people choose because they don't see gender when they're attracted to a person. Sometimes this is referred to as being gender blind. Pansexual comes from the Greek prefix for all 'Pan', and sometimes people will say omnisexual, which means the same thing, but the prefix comes from the Latin instead. Being free to love regardless of gender is what being pansexual is all about!
    Transgender is a broad term that covers people who don't identify with the gender assigned at birth. Some need to identify both their gender and their journey; this is why some people use the label trans man. It not only states their gender, but it identifies them as part of the broader transgender community too. Trans men are as unique as any other person is, there is no defining feature at all. As with all things gender, it's all about how a person chooses to identify and label themselves, it's no one else's choice but your own.
