A question for non-binary people

I think there should be a word for it, just to make it easier to explain and understand. I have no ideas as to what the word should be though XD

 

I thought labels and words didn't matter or weren't needed , and everyone hates labels now you want to put a label on people's genders ?

 

I kinda like enby actually, it's kinda cute

 

Nope but if we want to live in a label free world all has to go the I'm a woman , I'm a lesbian or my gender is this .
Gone can't use them anymore if you don't want labels and if they aren't necessary kinda makes us more equal in a way
If you did want a word or words to describe non binary genders what would you use ?

 

I like enby.

 

I see where you coming from .

 

I guess I'm kind of a bad person in that I'm very resistant to certain neologisms, including nonbinary pronouns. I simply like to identify as "genderqueer" and then choose the binary pronoun that I'm "most like," which is the feminine.

I will certainly honor how people like to be addressed, but I'm afraid I won't be of much help overcoming linguistic inertia.

 

I'd rather people just stick with my name. Though I guess I got lucky in it not having a specific gender associated with it.

 

I'm with you in that I'm pretty content identifying as a pronoun we already have(in my case male/male pronouns), but I do think the idea of something like 'enby' is kinda amusing. Can't think of anything else off the top of my mind atm though.

I guess I'm glad I have a name like that, too, though it doesn't really matter in my case I guess, heh. .-.

 

I just refer to myself as a person as opposed to man or woman

 

I've never thought of this before, but I agree that language "legitimizes" things. I like enby as well, it's simple.

Fun fact: Did you know the words "heterosexual" and "homosexual" were invented in the 19th Century? They were invented in response to a new law that banned "homosexual erotic acts". They were invented to try to equalize same-sex and different-sex acts.

 

Ehh. I don't really mind having to describe myself as an adjective as opposed to a noun. I think saying "I'm non-binary" will confuse way less people than saying "I'm an enby".

On EC, I used to have queerbo as my gender. (having since learned that it's a derogatory term somewhere between calling someone a fag and a hobo.) which seemed to be ambiguous enough for people to get the picture.

I'm kinda with BrownCoat on this one. Using your name is easiest. And unisex names are a godsend.

 

I just say dude not to make it complicated, most people are idiots and I don't have the time or breath to waste lol

 

Enby isn't bad at all, and I'd argue that you gotta start somewhere if you want to adjust the lexicon used by society. It may be easier to use a description as a label, but there is value in something that can be a noun or adjective on the same level as male/female.

Yes, unisex names are a godsend, now if only I wasn't given one of the most heavily gendered names in the English language. Thanks, bible.

 

I do like enby. It's kind of like the term "aspie" for those with aspergers. It's not derogatory at all, and it's actually more of a welcoming term.

I think "Hijra" might be another noun. I know very, very little about that term, though.
"Third-gender" might also be a noun.

Those in the anime fandom sometimes go with something like that, and say "Hideyoshi" in reference to the character in Baka and Test, but I haven't seen that actually used as a serious term.
