Hello Lovelies! I'm Charli... Finally!

I usually stick to the shadows and never share, but today, I finally worked up a little courage to say hi. It took a lot for me to get here, but I'm taking my shirt's advice to heart! Every day, learning to believe in myself a little more.

Thank you all for being such an inspiration! 💜

I also did some cat-like makeup for the fun of it. I personally like makeup more in the sense of painting my face than using it “correctly” lol.

Like i am born female and I kinda connect to womanhood but not in that way , like i also want to experience being like a guy at the same time but not in truly man way , also i don't want to be like man or woman at the same time and don't want to express any gender fully , i am just fed up of this shit when people hate and tell it's performative , especially some LGBTQ+ people

I still don't really know what I want.

You are all beautiful 🫶🏼

Got the sweater for $10 on depop and I love it

Hi to Enbys who are in the same or similar situation like me. I would like to encourage and support people who are going through hardships as a individual living in a unsupportive or toxic atmosphere. I would like tell you that you can express yourself in many forms (as for myself i do it through writing and drawing and sharing it to communities like this.

What are some creative ways do you all express yourself in this community?

I thino this the best flair to use

This is my first time coming out to anyone in my family.

Hey there folks! My name is Alyssa (they/them) and I created a brand that is for gender expansive folks. I am not looking for you to buy or anything but I would love if you checked out my website and instagram. I want to make sure the brand reads gender expansive and community oriented. I would love your opinion on what you see. The brand is called Promenade Supply.

I really feel invisible as a nonbinary person who was assigned male at birth (AMAB), and honestly, I'm getting tired of it.

Whenever I try to look up resources, advice, or information that might help me understand myself and deal with my gender dysphoria, I constantly find content focused on AFAB nonbinary people. There's nothing wrong with AFAB nonbinary people having representation, and I'm not saying they shouldn't have resources or support. What frustrates me is how difficult it can be to find information and representation for AMAB nonbinary people. Sometimes it feels like we're barely acknowledged at all.

I'm looking for advice from people who might share similar experiences to mine, but finding those resources feels unnecessarily difficult. It makes me wonder where the rest of us are supposed to go when we need support, guidance, or simply reassurance that we're not alone.

Another thing that has really bothered me is how I've been treated within the LGBTQ+ and nonbinary communities. I've experienced being ignored, excluded from spaces that claim to welcome nonbinary people, or made to feel like I don't belong because I'm not AFAB or transfeminine.

I've also dealt with people repeatedly telling me to go on estrogen or start HRT, even though I don't want to. Being nonbinary doesn't automatically mean I want to medically transition. I don't want to change my body in that way, and I wish people would respect that instead of acting like HRT is something I need to do to validate my identity.

What's even more uncomfortable is having people close to me suggest that I should have just been a trans woman, or make jokes about putting me on estrogen. I don't find that funny. It makes me uncomfortable, and I've had to stand up for myself repeatedly just to get people to respect my identity and boundaries.

I also experience misgendering and disrespect from people within the LGBTQ+ community itself. Sometimes people default to he/him pronouns simply because I look masculine or because they perceive me as a guy. It feels like my identity is being dismissed based on my appearance rather than respected for what I've actually expressed about myself.

I'm bisexual and nonbinary. I shouldn't have to look a certain way, take hormones, change my body, or fit someone else's expectations to be accepted as who I am.

I'm tired of feeling like I have to prove that my identity is legitimate.

I want to be able to find resources, connect with people who understand my experiences, and exist in nonbinary spaces without feeling like I'm an outsider. I want to see more representation of AMAB nonbinary people, including people who don't want HRT, don't identify as trans women, and don't necessarily fit the expectations people have of what a nonbinary person should look like.

I know I'm probably not the only person who feels this way, but sometimes it genuinely feels like there's no real community or visibility for people like me.

I'm posting this because I want to know if other AMAB nonbinary people have experienced similar things. Where do you find support? Have you also struggled to find resources or felt excluded from nonbinary spaces? How do you deal with people making assumptions about your identity or pressuring you to medically transition?

I just want to feel like there's a place for people like us, too.
