r/NonBinary

I had to provide proof that I was assigned female at birth to my fucking health insurance because legally I’m still female according to the government. Which just felt really gross. I’m okay but I did cry. I had changed my gender to X on my work paperwork thinking it didn’t matter but now they’re denying my claims because my gender doesn’t match my driver’s license.

I can submit paperwork to legally change my gender but in this administration I’m worried I’d be putting a target on my back. I just feel small.

Female Male at Birth. It's enby brainrot

Hi, I recently came out as non-binary to my friends. My previous pronouns were he/him and I've decided to go by they/them now. I'm still quite new to this identity, I've never really had noticeable gender dysphoria before, just droning unhappiness of being my assigned gender. So I've decided to forgo that label, and I'm content with my decision.

But sometimes when my friends use my pronouns in a sentence or something, I just feel... awkward? Especially if I think they have limited understanding of what my identity means. Like yes, thank you, I appreciate it a lot, I know how difficult it is to change your linguistics instincts, especially in a culture as gendered as mine (we don't have good gender neutral pronouns in my native language). But something about the novelty, the new words, the "yes that was intentional" of it all makes me cringe a little.

So I wanted to get more perspectives, is this a common thing?

I use they/it and don’t know how I should do that…. I’m going into high school soon and am kinda scared that I’ll do that one thing wrong and end up pissing someone off or something of the like…

help plz :P
