Nonbinary Lesbian Answering Questions

[ash2301]

Hi- I'm a nonbinary lesbian teen, and I want to help answer parents' questions about their LGBT+ kids/any other questions you have. Please be respectful, but there's no such thing as a stupid question

I meant that those are the pronouns I like people to use to refer to me, sorry for the poor phrasing

No, my fault. How do you go about telling people what grammar to use? That must be awkward.

I'm not gender non-conforming.

So, to be clear: You are a gay woman who presents in a stereotypically female way?

When you say you are 33% neutral you mean in what sense? Not biology? Just in the language you like?

The amount of perverts on here basically asking a teen about their genitals is fucking creepy.

Get a fucking grip people!

Identifying as a girl/female person.

Do you think it might be the sexist culture that comes associated with the word "woman" and female pronouns that has put you off them?

I did find in page and you are the only one who's mentioned this.

Nonbinary means not toexclusivelyidentify as male or female, not necessarily to shun those labels altogether

Huh, so every woman on the planet then?
I identify as neither man or woman, I identify as me, danger.
I happen to be a woman unfortunately, but as I don't know what is required to identify as one I guess non binary suits just fine

Not biology, no. In the language and also some physical dysphoria.

So you are a lesbian who doesn't think they are special enough...?

I don't find grown women speaking in such a condescending way to this teen to be very helpful. It would be far more productive to try to understand.

'I'm not gender non-conforming'
But you only confirm to two thirds...?

And female means?

Thank you!! I am okay with telling people because it's obvious when you look at me that I'm assigned female at birth anyway but you're absolutely right.

@gamerchick is this what you’re looking for?
(I'm assigned female at birth to answer another question)

I can't exactly measure how much of myself isn't female as this isn't a science,

Sweetheart - you're 100% female. Every single cell in your body is female.

Most people on MN are also female. Most on the feminism boards, and probably most in real life, don't have a gender identity. That doesn't make any of us, including you, 'non-binary'. It makes us, and you, a person.

Nothing more nothing less. And, sorry, but nothing special. Though as a teenager I'm sure you think you are! assuming this is genuine of course

Surely it's usually when talking about something people use they/he/she so it's mostly used when that person isn't present. Anyone can say anything behind your back so surely you don't know what pronouns they usually use to refer to you

Can I ask you about language?

How can any of us expect to control someone else's words? Surely we don't get to decide how other people refer to us when we are not part of the conversation? Pronouns are used as a substitute for names and the pronouns used when we are present is 'you' or 'we'.

How can you expect others to follow your rules?

How do you know how people refer to you when they're talking about you in the third person?

I already have further back. I'm assigned female at birth, but I could just as easily identify this way and be assigned male at birth.

That should say someone not something in my last post

Sorry I dont mean to be condescending, I am trying to understand and if anyone man or woman would give me a list of what makes a woman I would be bloody happy.

I don't, to be frank. I know that my friends use they/them because I spend enough time around them to occasionally hear them refer to me in the third person, but with other people there's no way of knowing.

Can you please explain to me what the feeling of being female is? And how you can only feel 2/3rds of it?

I've been a female my entire life but don't notice that I wake up with a female feeling.

Maybe I'm gender neutral too. Or you know, normal.

For an "answering questions" thread the OP has answered very few questions put to her.

So why you bothered by it, if those pronouns are rarely said in front you anyway?

How would you feel if I refused to use your they/them pronouns?
