hey...so i don't know if i'm nonbinary or just a weird girl, but like...i dunno i don't really identify fully as female? like i'm cool with it i guess, but definitely prefer to look/act androgynous, as well as use an androgynous nickname and prefer they/them pronouns, though i am alright with she/her too. i've never really 'been like other girls' (which sounds cringey but it's the best way i can explain it), and recently i've started getting really uncomfortable/dysphoric about my chest, binding it most of the time and wearing clothes that hide my figure more. i started questioning if i'm nonbinary a few months ago (i'm 14) and came out to a friend telling her that i'm mostly just questioning but pretty sure i'm not entirely female, switching between simply identifying as demigirl/demifluid and nonbinary. i'm not sure if i'm actually nonbinary but it does feel mostly right, but the thing is my family and i are very religious, and it goes against the beliefs to transition, even socially, so i'm very conflicted about whether i'm 'allowed' to use they/them pronouns or a more androgynous/masculine nickname. sorry if this is just a rant that makes no sense i'm super confused and conflicted
hi friend! if being nonbinary is what makes you feel good and comfortable theeen use it! youre allowed to do whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

I think personal labels can be useful for “there’s a word for it”, “I’m not alone”, and “oh neat, I know what to put in a search engine now” reasons, but I also think they can be troublesome.
Plenty of people won’t fit 100% neatly into a label, and when they encounter a rare exception to what is otherwise an accurate label for them, it can feel like an identity crisis.
The labels aren’t literally what you are. They’re words. They’re meant to assist communication and organization, not to control you.

sure happy pride I’m glad you found your community but are you normal about straight queers, disabled queers, fat queers, non-white queers, masc queers, queer men, queers who use “confusing” labels, queers who use “contradictory” labels, queers who identify with slurs, multigender queers and their attraction labels, and trans and intersex people’s bodies?

Frankly, if I'm the odd one in a group I'd rather be mislabelled than singled out. "All right, ladies – oh, and Dave" like, don't put me on the spot like that. For the purpose of this exercise I will answer to "ladies".

Six notebook stickers by Spindex corp, produced in 1982. They are made as labels, and most contain lines labelled Name and Address.
(Description under Read more)
From the top, the first is in the shape of a pencil, the lines for name and address in the yellow center acting as the corners of the implied hexagonal shape.
Second, a yellow spiky shape warns: "TOUCH THIS AND YOU WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 30 SECONDS" with the label beneath.
Third, A rainbow with a golden star in the center has a golden framed box beneath to input your own text.
Fourth, a red clockwork rollerskate travels to the right with the speed lines behind it crossing a dark blue back ground. The purple frame curves in on the top right coner to match the shape of the rollerskate. The label is below.
Fifth, a black handled paintbrush makes an oval trail of rainbow paint.
Sixth, a green frame has the label at the top, and the top third of the globe in the bottom right corner, a space ship flies on top, above the frame.

It's ok to identify one way and then realize later on that things have changed. Orientation isn't necessarily set in stone. Labels are helpful when they're helpful to you, so don't feel like you are forced to use one forever if it doesn't fit!

Labels do not have to be permanent. People who identified with hundreds of labels before finding one that fits them are super valid. People who identify with labels they aren’t sure fit because it’s the best they have right now are super valid. Identity can change and it can be hard and confusing to figure out, but no one should feel like they can’t claim a label that makes them feel happy and seen because it might change later, or like they can’t discard one that no longer fits. Labels are there to make you comfortable. As long as you’re being respectful, there are no rules.

Read options carefully:
I do not like queer for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the queer community I feel they are referring to me and I am uncomfortable with it :'(
I do not like queer for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the queer community I feel they are referring to me and I am fine with it
I do not like queer for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the queer community I feel they are not referring to me. I am fine with that
I do not like queer for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the queer community I feel they are not referring to me. I feel excluded :'(
I do not like LGBT(and extensions) for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the LGBT+ community I feel they are referring to me and I am uncomfortable with it :'(

I do not like LGBT(and extensions) for myself / I don't identify with it. When people refer to the LGBT+ community I feel they are not referring to me. I feel excluded :'(
I am comfortable with both queer and the various initialisms
Something else - talk about it in comments and tags!

There's no need to ask permission or reach consensus with an arbitrary group of people in order to identify as nonbinary.
Claiming the nonbinary label is something that you do for yourself.
Ask yourself if it applies, because only your opinion matters.

"But are you SURE you can call youself" buddy, I'm ambivalent about labels you've never even heard of.
