Am I non binary?

I think you can also be non binary if you are a totally feminine woman. Because you are what you say you are, regardless of any objective fact. So I can be a non-binary ballerina who only wears pink and uses she her pronouns. Because I say I am. So yes, it’s pretty meaningless.

In case you missed the boy mode and girl mode was pure sarcasm - sometimes writing it online you miss it

I was thinking I’m like Eddie Izzard some days I’m in jeans and a t-shirt, no make up hair tied back, I watch the football with DH and do a bit of DIY with my drill, this is my “boy mode” days. Other days I’ll have a dress on, make up, hair down, might go shopping, do a bit of baking, housework “girl mode” days.

I think most of us have days like these and a whole load in-between, like others had said purely gender stereotypes. I don’t understand transgender then if gender isn’t really a thing, surely it should be trans-sex and you can’t change biological sex from the one you are born with??

I have this face a lot just now

See I was thinking about this the other day.
People will say they are 'living as a woman' but I don't know what I do every day that makes my life as a woman different to my husband''s life as a man.

I doing it wrong then as been winging it for over 40yrs with my personality.

It sounds like you’re just a regular person. I mainly wear jeans and (men’s) sweatshirts. I’m still very much a woman. I also don’t think telling people you are non-binary would explain your views, although I’m not totally sure what you mean by that.

I think you'll find that actual barbies and action men don't exist, so we're all non-binary.

But of course you couldn’t be non binary, 00100001 🤣 haha, that’s really tickled me, I’m imagining how confusing it would be if you were non binary 🤯

Non-binary is the epitome of why all the gender identity thing is utter bollocks.

"I'm not a man or a woman, because I don't like skirts and I am not enjoying wearing the shirt and tie combo"

It's madness.

At some point this movement is going to start gatekeeping what a woman is, what a man is etc. And it will hopefully all fucking crumble because it DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

What makes that male a woman? Wearing a fres? Putting on make-up? What makes that female a man, wearing wide jeans and drinking pints??

Gender is a social construct.

Sex is real.

It's bit like your height measured in cm and whether you think you're tall or not. It's all fucking relative and bollocks.. you telling me you think you're tall, doesn't change the fact you're 5'6".

You might be a tall female in some places. Bit others, you're perfectly average. And indeed some places you'd be considered short. Call yourself whatever you want. But you're still 5'6".

No. You're not.

I'm definitely non-binary genderfluid.

I rarely wear makeup, I'm usually in jeans, t-shirt and trainers both at home and for normal days at work. But sometimes I do wear dresses and heels and accessories, I'm told I scrub up nicely. My hair is of intermediate length, being a shortish bob.

Although DH cuts lawns and hedges and does the majority of the day-to-day cooking, I am the one who is better at baking cakes, biscuits and bread. Also, I do more of the household cleaning. But, I'm also the one who wields the powertools when furniture needs to be assembled, and I do the household decorating.

Also DH is the main breadwinner and I'm the little wife who works part-time. But my job is STEM rather than, say, fluffing feather boas.

The only problem is that I think gender is a load of socially-constructed oppressive quasi-religious bollocks, and that what humans have is (1) a biological sex and (2) a personality. So that probably invalidates my non-binary genderfluidity

If you think you’re non-binary you’ve got too little to do in your life. It’s really not a thing. People are just people.

Everybody I know is non-binary including myself. It really is a useless category as it includes everyone.

I got to 47 without having a gender identity. Was never a girly girl. Managed to just be me and ...shock....still a woman. I just can't be doing with this endless labelling. Fine if it makes you happy but please don't pretend we all have to bother with this.

It's only funny the first hundred times.

Could we have one thread where we don't equate veganism with gender ideology.Fyi the only time I'm mentioning I'm vegan in recent times is when people on these threads compare it with gender ideology.Veganism harms no one. It's really not the same

You are right, I'm sorry. In my defense, at least I didn't bring up the baseless stereotype about Vegans having no sense of humour :-)

Veganism harms no one.
It's really not the same
and you did bring it up first

I think you have a sex and a personality, end of

I'm the same, only I know I'm firmly a woman (the endometriosis is a clue) and the rest is about having a personality and getting on with my life instead of buying into ideas of gender.

You are not non-binary, OP. You'd know because (much like being an empath, vegan or born again Christian) it would be the very first thing you'd tell everyone you met and you'd go into a lot of detail.

@ItsAllGoingToBeFine - teenagers always sigh when their parents do anything outside of boring and predictable - bit like when everyones dad started wearing Kickers many moons ago. just the way of things.
