I try to avoid politics on this page.

However, as I'm openly #Nonbinary & the creator of #InternationalNonBinaryDay, & I reside in BC, I feel I need to say something.

I hate this.
This is a waste of taxpayer money. It is another virtue-signalling boondoggle from a province that has become a living hell to exist in.

I don't feel included in BC, and it has nothing to do with gendered language used by the gov't.
I don't feel included because the housing crisis means my husband & I will never afford a place to live.

I don't feel included because our health system is in the toilet. Who gives a flying fornication about misgendering when you have to wait hours for an ambulance?

💭 Do you know how to be gender-neutral in your native tongue?

🗣️ On #InternationalNonbinaryDay – halfway between International Women’s and International Men’s Day – we’re taking a deep-dive into non-binary language.

🇮🇹 Italian

Highly gendered languages like Italian can make being non-binary difficult.

But some have found a solution in ə – “schwa” – which can replace gender markers.

While even some officials use ə, many remain critical, saying it endangers the Italian language.
🇬🇷 Greek

Many non-binary and genderqueer Greeks use the plural pronoun 'αυτοί' which encompasses all genders.

In Greek there are also articles before names. Many prefer the neutral 'το' here instead of the traditional gendered options.

Wisst ihr was: Weil #InternationalNonbinaryDay ist und ich trans Non-Binary bin, mache ich bei diesem Meme auch mit.

Also her mit den Likes :P
1. Tatsächlich die Sendung von @quarkswdr damals über das trans Sein. Das müsste 2011 gewesen sein. Allerdings war ich damals unsicher, weil ich mich nicht wirklich männlich gefühlt habe - nur halt auch nicht weiblich. 2016 habe ich dann von non-binary erfahren.
2. Nun, ich würde gerne meine Brüste loswerden. Ansonsten habe ich nicht das Bedürfnis Hormone zu nehmen. (lol würde eh keinen Sinn machen. Ich habe mehr Testo als Östro im Körper, aber mein Körper reagiert halt auf das Testo nicht.)

Oh it’s #InternationalNonBinaryDay hello I’m a bird dude on the internet

(Art by @badgeranium!) ImageImageImage
also how u present should not determine what "default" pronouns ppl use. as i start looking more dudely on T, that doesn't mean it's ok to call me he/him. i'm nonbinary and my particular pronouns are they/them. thank u!

(also neopronouns r valid, they/them is not "default n-b")
(ALSO nonbinary people can use binary pronouns! if someone tells you that they are nonbinary, THAT IS VALID regardless of their pronoun choice! Respect peoples' identity regardless of what you personally think of them! it's not about you!)
