This thread will focus on the non-binary peoples of Era, and act as a base for us to come together and discuss, share, shoot the shit... and for anyone else who would like to engage for whatever reason. If you have any questions at all you'd like to ask non-binary folk, this is the thread for it! Our one request is that people remain respectful, within Era's general rules!
What is meant by non-binary?
Put simply, non-binary people don't fit into the binary choice of "Male or Female". A non-binary person could be someone who has never identified enough with the default gender descriptions to fit in neatly to either category, it could be someone who feels as if they flit between the two, or it could even be a person who simply denies the idea that gender can be so easily and neatly separated into two categories.
For many people, their gender identity is never in question and acceptance of the binary gender norm is not even a consideration, for non-binary folk this specific gender norm isn't accurate.
This is no fad!
Non-binary peoples have existed forever. This isn't some fad or craze dreamt up to make ourselves feel special. As above, this is simply language catching up with the notion that people exist whose traits and personalities cannot be so neatly categorized.
There is no confusion, specificity is the opposite!
To reiterate: the point is we're using the term to update language to describe those of us who exist on the scale and not at either end. It's the precise opposite of confusion, it's a call for acknowledgment and acceptance of actual people who really do exist.
And even non-binary is only one type of gender identity, there are many more.
