sometimes i remember the time i called myself "schrodinger's girl" referring to my genderfluidity and how i'm simultaneously a girl and not a girl but my friends interpreted it as me saying i'm dating schrodinger and that conversation quickly turned to chaos
I love it! I think I might start using "Schrodinger's Gender" at least as often as I gender my self as "David Bowie", which I think should also be a valid gender of its own, or at least an enby subtype.
My fiance asked me to call them Creature (as an alternative to partner/SO/fiance) so now I get to say things like "I'm going apple picking with my creature this weekend, we're really excited!" and it's very fun
Okay, can we talk about how clever and hilarious "þussy" is!! xD The thorn "þ" looks like a p and b put together and it's also pronounced "thussy" which works with they/them puns!! It's so good!! haha Thank you Iceland for keeping that thorn in your alphabet so we can make jokes like these!!
@@freshwater5544 There actually is a neopronoun that has the letter þ! I don't remember exactly what it was but I'm pretty sure it was one of the common pronouns(he/she/they) but with þ replacing the first letter. I think it's pretty neat

I’m non-binary (demi-girl in specific) and I love watching my older family members try to respect my pronouns in… unique ways. I appreciate it. Examples: “Hello! This is my… human.” “Hello, human!” “Alex was talking to… um. To non-her’s friends and…” “It is a great person!” “Hey kiddo! How’s life? Oh? Human’s good?” also: my gender is like the same as i and she doesnt
The other day my mom called me by him. I told my parents they could call me anything they wanted. They have been calling me by all pronouns lately, and it hits me with surprise every time.
4:09 my com sci teacher purposely called the class "programmers" rather than "boys and girls" or said "boys, girls, and other awesome programmers" to be inclusive and it meant so much to me it was great. And almost every time one kid was like "haha, more like *pro gamers*, amiright" great class.
My history teacher says “Ladies, Gentlemen and Others” 🥹 he’s more than twice the age of some of the teachers at my school and more progress than them lol
I just did the "my gender is" and my automatic replies definitely say something about how I often write: "My gender is not a problem for me, and I'll never be what you want me to be."
Nidorino is the purple one, right? I always loved how Pokémon reversed the stereotypical gender colours by making the female Nidoran light blue (the stereotypical boy colour) and the male one purple (which is similar to pink, the "girly colour")
At the risk of explaining the joke for people who aren't the sort of nerds who would recognize the letters we don't use in English anymore: the letter þ ("thorn") (currently only still used in Icelandic) usually represents sounds that in modern English we write as "th" -- so, in the context of the meme...
11:48 i actually (despite the awkwardness) enjoy meeting trans girls with my name. It kinda feels like passing it on to someone who values it. The name i was given wasn't a bad name, and it deserves someone who'll feel a happy tingle being called by it
My gender is "a little bit more than I can do at one time" As someone still getting comfortable with stepping away from the binary. This video was a giant call out. And my phone decided to deal the finishing blow.
Dear OT, Yesterday was my first public coming out as nonbinary! (I was so scared before.) It was a dancing class that started yesterday. We must change partners every few minutes and at the beginning, I just faced a girl, told her I’m dancing the „man“.😂 The teacher asked me if I want to continue to dance this part, and I told him I’m non-binary. He‘s queer himself and therefore was completely fine with using no pronouns for me and so on. 😊 The complete lesson went well, no one asked anything. It was such a positive experience with those people, plus the extreme gender euphoria - I’m so glad it happened like this!🥳 So, OT, THANK YOU!!! You helped me so much to achieve this! And I’m hopeful now that I can come out to more people. ☺️ P.S.: Sorry for my English. ;)
I know what you mean. I have to stay half closeted because of the state I live in and my family. I'm not exactly young anymore, but I didn’t have the words to express how I felt until I learned that nonbinary is a thing.
This was phenomenal! My partner is NB, and I paused to get their opinion on the alt reference options. They have chosen "Racoon Slut", and I'm still dying..... Also, preciate the end of video boop OT!
Fun animal fact: Those large, leggy insects sometimes called “mosquito eaters” or “mosquito hawks”, which fly awkwardly in or around your house… These insects are actually called crane flies, and sorry-- they don't eat mosquitoes

He’s also surprisingly wholesome for being known as very cursed When I say wholesome, I mean he gives out prices of advice that you can actually use, and seems to actually care about every one of his fans -a click fan
I was at an enby wedding but they pass as straight and the officiant said "for the marriage of this man and woman" and me and the other trans people just looked at eachother like ain't no man or woman standing up there🤣🤣

I'm agender, and this video really *really* made my day. Spoiler: I'm about to rant, so get ready or click off idk I love how the video mentions about using correct pronouns. When I watched the tiktok with the lady using she/her pronouns on her *nonbinary* child, it reminded me about the conversation I had with my parents. Almost all the time, when I bring up trans people or just LGBTQ+ in general, I end up crying and then they're like "why are you crying". One conversation was about how they felt about trans people. My dad was like: well, I don't care, but if a man can 'identify' as girl, I won't believe it until he uses hormones. Otherwise, he is man. It's not that I don't like trans people! I'm just saying that even though he identifies as a girl, he isn't until he medically is. And I almost felt like crying at that because if he says that, then how is he going to react with me being agender? This entire conversation came from a trans student at Brown, which is where my dad works. She wanted to be put in the girls' dorm, not the boys' dorm. My dad said that she should've gotten an apartment or smth else because 'it's not safe for the other girls to be around a dude. what if he tries to do something?' like NO. Do you know how much paperwork that is?? Why go all that way only to do that? My mom followed up with: 'It's really dangerous for girls who wear that cloth over their heads. If someone besides a girl sees her without it, in some countries, they can get killed.' They are BOTH missing the point. And I have to worry about what they're going to say if I say I'm aro AND ace, even if they say that they support anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I know that a lot of people struggle with this, but sometimes it feels too much, and OT is honestly such a lifesaver. So yeah. My gender right now is fucked. (This is from a computer.) According to my phone, my gender is just so annoying but slightly different than I expected but it would be said that they are not in the middle of the game Fun fact: It is illegal to throw pickle juice at a trolley in Rhode Island. Another fun fact: Roller coasters were originally invented to distract people from sin. And a third fun fact for good measure: the wood frog can survive north of the Arctic Circle while the Australian water-holding frog can wait up to seven years for rain. Blessed be all of you who read this! Thank you!
Oh jeez, I so identify with your frustration: Trying to explaing the Real problem so for them to end up not getting it. And also it's very normal in your situation to worry about how they'll react if one day you decide to tell them you are aro ace. Whatever you decide to do try to have some friend/friends or family to rely on who already know and accept it, telling them or not, we always need a support and loving network. If anything, you've already got a lot of supportive strangers here with OT. ALSO, nice fun facts, roller coaster one got me for a loop!
I'm sorry you're going through this and your concerns you're completely valid. 50% of the time they're telling the truth and 50% of the time they're making empty statements I'm sure you know which. You cannot say that you 'support' something simply because you do not take direct action in opposition to it. I am sick and tired of hearing things like this come out of mouths of people who really should know better. This is like saying that you support integration but still only patronize "white only" facilities, do nothing for the cause and then in the comfort and privacy of your own home say, "I'm totally fine with colored people having rights, but they already have water fountains and soda shops and schools do they *really* need to use *ours* especially if it makes people uncomfortable?" (When the individual is so privileged and blissfully ignorant that they have no idea of basic facts like non-white water fountains having toxic water etc). Honestly this really is not a stretch in comparison, it wasn't that long ago that I had to listen to people say things like "I've got no problems with gays just as long as I don't have to see it." (Well then clearly you *do* Kevin. In less than 10 to 15 minutes from now you're going to be heavily intoxicated and groping your opposite sex significant other at a little league game, but you don't want same-sex couples to exist together in public. Honestly, which is less appropriate in this scenario? 🧐) Now the tides are shifted towards trans individuals. Perhaps not your parents if you can't do so with your parents, But we as a community need to call out these false, self proclaimed 'allies' and 'supporters' that pride themselves on being so virtuous and good and open-minded but as soon as they think that no one's there to look behind the curtain - the people closest to them are unhappy, unheard, and feel unsafe to be their authentic selves. *That* is not support.
Aww, I'm so sorry that your parents are like that, it sucks. I am also aro and ace! As well as nonbinary! My parents are more accepting than yours it seems. It took them a while to understand all three of my identities, but even now they still say annoying and wrong things. Sometimes my parents still use the wrong pronouns even though it's been 2 years since I came out! And my mom has the same thing about it being "too dangerous for girls" if a trans girl is there. UGH. She used to say maybe I'd "change my mind" about being aroace and nonpartnering and childfree. But she's given up on that now. She works at a catholic school and I thinks it messes with her mind. It makes her more fearful and closed minded. My dad is much more open and so caring. We just want them to understand, or at least try to. Why is it so hard for them? I wish I knew. Oh also cool fun facts!
I would test the waters first, before coming out, and only come out if you feel safe doing so. I did this with my own family, discussing trans topics in the news, and preemptively dropping facts and studies to dispel any misconceptions they might have. I suppose I was fortunate, in a way, to have come out at a relatively late age, when I'm better informed and equipped to debunk all the misinformation out there. i.e. Gender identity comes from the brain, regardless of any external physical traits. If someone were to lose those traits in an accident, wouldn't they still be the same person on the inside?
I got my haircut while on a break at work (I work outside and work clothes are pretty gender neutral) and when I looked in the mirror I saw ME. It’s honestly the happiest I have ever remembered being with the possible exception of getting my university acceptance letter. I did not tell my parents beforehand based on “better to beg forgiveness than ask permission” kind of logic. They seemed disappointed it was “so short” but weren’t angry
I got misgendered most of the day and then got online only to see OT once again being able to make my day. You are such an amazing person thank you so much for all you do 💙
Hey OT! You probably won't see this but I just wanted to say I finally got my hair cut! It's not much but it's a key milestone in my transition as a closeted trans man. You and your channel have been a constant source of serotonin in my life for about a year now and your videos help me see the good in the world and keep me motivated to be the person I truly am. Thank you, for all you've meant to me.
That's awesome! Super proud of you for taking that first all important step. I know that being closeted is likely really rough on your mental health (I've been there), but I have faith you can stick it out until you can open that closet door and step into fully living your best life. Best of luck to you, friend
I've called my enby sibling "fiore" ("flower" in Italian) because while "fiore" is masculine, "flor", in my language, is feminine, so it is feminine because of our language but is actually masculine, being both at the same time
@@jooree7696 thanks for telling me more about your language, i hope i can pick it up soon so i can finaly stop reminding my dad that i don't speak italian even tho he does as one of his mother tongues (i'll do it when i finaly get intermediate in spanish lol), it still works tho because my sister is way more feminine inclined and prefers feminine pronouns most of the time :) (also i had forgotten about this comment and even that i did such thing in the past, but it was indeed a cute nickname)
"They/them? Are you plural?" Yes, I have many forms that include, approximately 27 rats in a trench coat, a swarm of wasps, and a stack of tiny goblins, but each goblin looks like a member of your immediate family, so the number of goblins changes via different perspectives.
That’s what I said when someone was being rude because im a he/they. (I’m multiple possums in a trench coat but use he to summon the nice one, he gives you art doodles)
As an ace-spec nonbinary person, I find that "I/me" meme on a literally spiritual level, even though I have preferred pronouns (they/he/neos). Tbh, I'd rather live in a world where sex only mattered for reproductive and healthcare purposes, and gender-based oppresion (norms, policing, segregation, transphobia, misoginy/patriarchy etc.) wasn't a thing at all. People should just dress as whatever makes them feel truly happy and have whichever harmless manneirisms express their personalities most efficiently, in their own opinion. Why should boys be socialized to become aggressive dudes who think showing vulnerabilty or "looking gay" are bad things? Why should girls be socialized to become women that are hypervigilant of how others (men in particular) perceive them? Imho, so-called gendered AESTHETICS can be fun to experiment with, but gender as a complex social performance that's been constantly judged according to tacit, arbitrary, nonlistable standards? Gimme a break. Edit: ContraPoints' video "Transtrenders" and Caelan Conrad's "Queer and Trans Joy" do a very good job at conveying how good feeling "at home" in one's own gender can be. Chill Goblin's "Gender Theory FOR DUDES" also does that really well on one of its chapters (Chil Goblin's cis, which proves that GE's not a trans-only thing)
I mean, i myself like being gendered more than being non-gendered, but i get your point, and also, i think sex as a tool of comfort and pleasure rather than just reproduction is a pretty neat thing
I got "My gender is a little kid with a friend who has a new story for me to get a new one of the best way to go to the doc and I don't know what to do"
I remembered somewhere that frogs were once used as a form of pregnancy test. The animal previously used to detect a pregnancy was rats, but the process of using them for that was expensive, limiting that method to people that could actually afford it(the rat also died and was checked to see if the individual was pregnant or not). With frogs, people could get results on if they're pregnant based on whether the frog laid eggs or not(and the frog survives). (Note: I don't know how accurate this is, but it came to mind when I saw frogs here)
Yup! My mom got a some retired pregnancy lab frogs back when she was in her twenties and started breeding them as a hobby. Apparently so did a lot of people, and that's why African clawed frogs are so common at pet stores
M.A.S.H. has an episode where they use a rabbit, they work real hard to make sure the rabbit survives. Still waiting on Jose to do a video on that old awesome show. If you haven't seen him check out his Golden Girls or Married With Children or Dinosaurs videos. They're great.
For those of you who want the translation to the second half of Click’s gender, it’s “that is on the way to work” And his response was basically just “Yup”
OT's confusion over Snom's post is hilarious. The complete confusion of "Nidorino" mixed with the idea that "my owner's-" is meant to be something saucy, when in fact the person is just actively roleplaying as a gummy caterpillar like Pokemon in the way people POV blog about their pets, makes for a bundle of laughs. Never Change OT.
I'm gonna do a few: My gender is a Japanese subculture based on Harajuku and Victorian Rococo styles. I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to the bathroom, she heard an odd sound coming from the handicapped stall. (Both were an exserpt from a book I wrote in middle school)
I think it's worth noting that the "thon" pronouns were invented to allow reference to someone whose gender was unknown or irrelevant rather than to refer to someone nonbinary. I also think it's worth noting that that doesn't matter when if comes to respecting people's pronouns. We still should. Also, I always want to jokingly say that trans men are men, trans women are women, and nonbinary people aren't. But I've found that people tend not to get the joke and think I'm invalidating nonbinary people, when that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying. It's a shame because I think that joke is *hilarious*.
I remember my 'they're' as a shortening of 'they are', 'there' is for places cause it has 'here' in it, and 'their' I remember that it's e before i because 'their' is a possessive for 'they'. Thats all the memory tricks I got for that 😁👍🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
I'm glad he could help but I'd recommend finding more support than just his channel. There is an amazing array of people within most LGBT groups so I hope you can find one you fit with.
"my gender is a place not far away where I feel save to just be me" Wow, still in the process of figuring out my identity while also struggling with social anxiety, this was surprisingly reassuring to me. Thanks auto correct. And thanks OT for the amazing video!
16:07 That is accurate: I use the term 'androsexual' because I am attracted to people of all genders who are on the more masculine spectrum. The term does not tell my gender relation to the other person, and it is open to not be as restrictive to a specific gender like homo- and heterosexual are. It's also more specific than bi- or pansexual because unlike those sexualities, I truly am not attracted to femininity regardless of whom it is attached to. There are more sexuality terms like that such as gynosexual [attraction towards femininity], so for anyone who feels like they know pretty well whom and what they are interested in: A little investigation in terminology might be helpful.
This is honestly so helpful to read. I've been confused by my sexuality forever, and only recently realized that it wasn't the sex or gender of the person that determined if I was attracted to them, but whether they appeared more feminine or masculine. I am attracted to people of all genders who present feminine. I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who has this experience. Thank you random internet friend!
@@captaincaspian42 Gynesexual, though I think some prefer femmesexual Not 100% sure what the difference is, they probably overlap a fair bit but some people just identify with one term more than the other? Feel free to correct me
Same! Pronouns are for other people's convenience. That's why I give my pronouns an any/all. The only thing I ask for myself is that they be used consistently because I want to know when I'm being talked about. That's the only part of my pronouns that affects me.
i just recently had a conversation with my parents about my name and pronouns that went not great and this video really helped me feel a lot better, thank you
the second to last meme is so relatable, as a gender-apathetic myself, I don't care or know what pronouns should be used for me, just spice it up if you want, use he/they/she all in the same sentence if you want, your guess is as good as mine, it is impossible to misgender me
I RELATE SO DAMN MUCH to the meme where the swarm of bees explained that they left gendering them to others bc they didn't need to gender themself. At the school i work at, the kids asked me if i was a boy or a girl, and i literally told them "that's up to you, i mind neither"
@16:11 so I actually do this! I am non binary and studying teaching. When I started my prac there was a lot of questions about how I would address my identity with the kids so we opted to not. The plan was to introduce myself as "miss" but respond to any title the kids gave me provided the kids were being respectful. Because the kids are too young to equate miss as female they would often ask if I was a boy or a girl and I just told the kiddos to guess... And I would just go with whatever the kids said... This worked until I was working with 11 year olds. They asked, I said guess and these kids looked at me and said "you're non-binary aren't you?". I asked how they know, they legit told me I look like other non binary people on tiktok. Then they asked why they call me Miss... I told them it's purely to make it easier for them before they shrugged and moved on the rating my mullet. 😂. I love those kids
"My gender is that I was a real dad" as someone borderline phobic of parenthood I'm not sure how I feel about this but must admit I love the idea of having "dad energy"
I'm new to OT's content but from the start I saw a lot of similarities between him and my uncle. They both have a similar similar sense of humor, like silly voices, like the same video games, and even look kind of similar. Except for one thing: my uncle is QAnon, incredibly homophobic and transphobic, and has anger issues. You, on the other hand, are logical and smart, LGBTQ+ supportive, calm, and also very cute. So I have decided to replace my uncle with you, you are now my new uncle. :) Love you OT!
I'm glad I work with kids because they gender me correctly, unlike most of my adult coworkers. One is even like "you still use they/them?" and then procedes to say "she" 90% of the time. 🙄However, some do get it right and I really appreciate that! Also the frog that wants a shaved head wins for me because I have sensory issues🙃 I wish I could have long flowing hair but I can't grow it out! Side note I went on a walk in the woods this morning with just a tank top on (and pants) for the first time since top surgery and omg it was amazing!! I could never have done that before
2:51 I'm sure someone else has/will comment about this but basically the account is run by a snom (a Pokémon) so by owner they mean their trainer. Nidorino (knee-doe-ree-know) is another Pokémon and poison jab is a move it can learn ^^
*"my gender is not a coincidence"* very powerful. *"my gender is the best thing ever driven in the world"* do you drive your gender too? not as good as me! *"my gender is a little eggy"* eggy :)
“My gender is not being able to be in the mood for a long time” “My gender is that cool 😎” “My gender is the same colour scheme as gender identity is the same colour scheme which are you and the gender of the same colour as the colour scheme in the world of colour scheme for the most people who have been using their own colours to choose gender colour and colour colours are different from the colour scheme of the gender and colour of colour colour schemes like that are the colours and colours are more than the gender colour scheme of the colour of gender colour schemes that have a different gender”
"My gender is a little embellished and I know some spells that are sharpened." There you have it, my gender is embellished, and I apparently know some sharp spells. Neat!
My favorite day is when OT posts a new video and it's about a group and I'm not a part of because then I can learn more about the group the memes are for!! My friend is enby so these really help me understand what their problems are and stuff like that
7:50 the first person I ever met who I know gets my pronouns right 100% of the time was my cool coworker and it always was a shock how they could refer to me correctly cause I don't do that. They also somehow ended up surrounded by all the NB's while not being NB themselves, like, how are you an NB magnit(in a platonic way besides for that one they are dating) without being NB
I guess the balance of the universe has finally accepted non-binary people, and is pulling their fates around just as men and women. I would say it's wholesome if it weren't for the fact that non-binary people are not Gods anymore because of that 😥
@@youtuner9031 I mean more things that can be picked up on in outward presentation. I know I'm far from the only non-binary person (let alone queer person more generally) who tends to feel more immediately safe with and some form of kinship to those who might commonly get labeled as geeks/nerds, punks, goths, certain forms of "childish," or otherwise somehow "weird." I've even seen a number of memes about the phenomenon, including one that went over a number of fashion options that supposedly repel most people but which get perceived by the right people as "friend-shaped." Could also be somewhat a reverse thing. There are certain fashion decisions that seems to be much more common among non-binary folks than among other populations (and not all of them actually stand out), and it's possible something like that is catching your co-worker's eye as appealing in some way so they're more likely to go start a conversation. And could just be that your co-worker gives off (or maybe detects) some kind of subtle behavioral cues that say "pleasant and respectful person), or it could be as simple as friends introducing friends to other friends. (Quick aside: If any of this comes across as, like, patronizing or anything, please forgive me; it's not at all intended. I'm aware that I am perceived that way a lot, but still figuring out what causes that and what I can do to fix it.)
6:35 That just reminded me that the first things written in my medical file are “non-binary” “homosexual” “works night shifts full time” and I can’t stop laughing bc I can literally say that I’ve been medically diagnosed with enby, gay and having a job 😭🤣
Literally got told by someone on twitter that they identified as a microwave (can you guess what kind of person they were?) This video really cracked me up ♡
That one near the end, about the “I/Me”. I resonate with that and have said the exact same thing whenever I try to describe being non-binary. I’m just me. And it’s awesome to see that actually put into text from another being living on this planet. 😊

As an enby aroace Pokémon fan, I think this is a good representation
My gender is not the same thing as the last time.
I mean, yeah.
My gender is not a problem at the moment
My gender is not a good thing for the world
My gender is a good time to get the latest Flash player
My gender is not entirely sure what I want
‘My gender is not a problem for me but I don’t want to be a burden on you’
That feels like an accurate summary of my life
Dang. That's... That's pretty darn "yep".
Damn. Your phone is an asshole
The other day my mom called me by him. I told my parents they could call me anything they wanted. They have been calling me by all pronouns lately, and it hits me with surprise every time.
I read where someone called their nonbinary partner a "datemate" and i found it adorable
4:09 my com sci teacher purposely called the class "programmers" rather than "boys and girls" or said "boys, girls, and other awesome programmers" to be inclusive and it meant so much to me it was great.
And almost every time one kid was like "haha, more like *pro gamers*, amiright"
great class.
that kid was based before their time
I had an art teacher that would say, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and all other manner of creatures" to get our attention.
My history teacher says “Ladies, Gentlemen and Others” 🥹 he’s more than twice the age of some of the teachers at my school and more progress than them lol
everyone is either a boy or a girl though. There are no other options.

Outsourcing your gender is such a power move, it's almost like summoning Exodia
It'd be so chaotic to refer to that person as I/me if they where to come up in conversation 😂
Yugioh reference 😻
Honestly I've been doing that at school. You wanna know my pronouns? Then guess. I won't tell you.
My gender is not encouraged
Exodia obliterate!!!!!!!
I just did the "my gender is" and my automatic replies definitely say something about how I often write:
"My gender is not a problem for me, and I'll never be what you want me to be."
Based
I remember seeing someone say that they should call non-binary partners *joyfriends* and I absolutely love the idea of this :)
goddamn amazing
My partner also likes to be called a datemate it's so cute
Nidorino (pronounced KNEE-dough-REE-no) is a Pokémon. It’s one of the original 151 from Pokémon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow.
Nidorino is the purple one, right? I always loved how Pokémon reversed the stereotypical gender colours by making the female Nidoran light blue (the stereotypical boy colour) and the male one purple (which is similar to pink, the "girly colour")
"My gender is a good idea if you're not ready yet but I think you might be hungry"
Wow 😂
At the risk of explaining the joke for people who aren't the sort of nerds who would recognize the letters we don't use in English anymore: the letter þ ("thorn") (currently only still used in Icelandic) usually represents sounds that in modern English we write as "th" -- so, in the context of the meme...
thussy... I am so happy with this new word
Very true, and it also visually combines the p and b from both other options!
I know, it was a great meme!
þorn is my favorite letter
(Edit: replacing th with þ)
@@thatotherted3555 I almost did, but decided against it with my parents in the other room
Edit: typo (put "on" instead of "in")
11:48 i actually (despite the awkwardness) enjoy meeting trans girls with my name. It kinda feels like passing it on to someone who values it. The name i was given wasn't a bad name, and it deserves someone who'll feel a happy tingle being called by it
Like a friend who will eat the Pickle or tomato from your sandwich
Recycle, reuse, repeat
My gender is "a little bit more than I can do at one time"
As someone still getting comfortable with stepping away from the binary. This video was a giant call out. And my phone decided to deal the finishing blow.
Rewatching this after feeling dysphoric is a great balm to my soul, thanks OT 💜
Dear OT,
Yesterday was my first public coming out as nonbinary! (I was so scared before.) It was a dancing class that started yesterday. We must change partners every few minutes and at the beginning, I just faced a girl, told her I’m dancing the „man“.😂 The teacher asked me if I want to continue to dance this part, and I told him I’m non-binary. He‘s queer himself and therefore was completely fine with using no pronouns for me and so on. 😊 The complete lesson went well, no one asked anything. It was such a positive experience with those people, plus the extreme gender euphoria - I’m so glad it happened like this!🥳
So, OT, THANK YOU!!! You helped me so much to achieve this! And I’m hopeful now that I can come out to more people. ☺️
P.S.: Sorry for my English. ;)

T
you have really good english, kudos bc im learning a new language and it is difficult lol 💀
Good for you! Have a great life!
As a young closeted enby am I am very happy for this representation, it makes me feel my identity is valid.
Why are you in the closet tho. That can't be comfortable. Why not just be in the bedroom.
I know my dad joke isn't funny but I'm still saying it.
You are valid no matter what!
Edit: To prove my point, I looked up enby, just so I can know. You are valid.
I know what you mean. I have to stay half closeted because of the state I live in and my family. I'm not exactly young anymore, but I didn’t have the words to express how I felt until I learned that nonbinary is a thing.
As a young, semi-closeted enby, I'm happy you feel this way. You very much so are valid, and I'll be willing to say it ten times over, and more!
You're just fine the way you are. Welcome to the world. There's plenty of room. Signed, old guy long out of the closet
This was phenomenal! My partner is NB, and I paused to get their opinion on the alt reference options. They have chosen "Racoon Slut", and I'm still dying..... Also, preciate the end of video boop OT!
"My gender is" a little different from what you see. Omg this is actually accurate😂
Fun animal fact: Those large, leggy insects sometimes called “mosquito eaters” or “mosquito hawks”, which fly awkwardly in or around your house… These insects are actually called crane flies, and sorry-- they don't eat mosquitoes
you have ruined my life with that knowledge
@@sulphurfish if this ruined your life, never look up the terrible things that otters, penguins, seals, orcas, or dolphins do… you’ll never be the same after you know what they do… and you’ll never look at them the same…
They might not eat mosquitos but I do.
@@Super_Panda_BS They don't do anything that weird. If you're talking about the made up articles about dolphins sexually attacking other creatures, Marine Biologists have confirmed that was false misinformation.
Fun additional fact: most species of crane fly have no mouthparts in their flying stage and only exist to mate and die.

I love how it’s clear that Click is a very nice person and this kind person is very chaotic.
I love it mostly because one of my closest friends is exactly like that. She’s kind, and chaotic, in the exact same way! (:
He’s also surprisingly wholesome for being known as very cursed
When I say wholesome, I mean he gives out prices of advice that you can actually use, and seems to actually care about every one of his fans

"My gender is not a problem for the other two children" - HAHAH facts
I was at an enby wedding but they pass as straight and the officiant said "for the marriage of this man and woman" and me and the other trans people just looked at eachother like ain't no man or woman standing up there🤣🤣
When he read the "non-binary people are right behind you" line, was anybody else hoping @Human1 would sneak up behind him and scare him out of his seat? 🤣😂🤣
Oooo, yes!!!!
I'm agender, and this video really *really* made my day.
Spoiler: I'm about to rant, so get ready or click off idk
I love how the video mentions about using correct pronouns. When I watched the tiktok with the lady using she/her pronouns on her *nonbinary* child, it reminded me about the conversation I had with my parents. Almost all the time, when I bring up trans people or just LGBTQ+ in general, I end up crying and then they're like "why are you crying". One conversation was about how they felt about trans people.
My dad was like: well, I don't care, but if a man can 'identify' as girl, I won't believe it until he uses hormones. Otherwise, he is man. It's not that I don't like trans people! I'm just saying that even though he identifies as a girl, he isn't until he medically is.
And I almost felt like crying at that because if he says that, then how is he going to react with me being agender?
This entire conversation came from a trans student at Brown, which is where my dad works. She wanted to be put in the girls' dorm, not the boys' dorm. My dad said that she should've gotten an apartment or smth else because 'it's not safe for the other girls to be around a dude. what if he tries to do something?' like NO. Do you know how much paperwork that is?? Why go all that way only to do that? My mom followed up with: 'It's really dangerous for girls who wear that cloth over their heads. If someone besides a girl sees her without it, in some countries, they can get killed.' They are BOTH missing the point.
And I have to worry about what they're going to say if I say I'm aro AND ace, even if they say that they support anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I know that a lot of people struggle with this, but sometimes it feels too much, and OT is honestly such a lifesaver.
So yeah. My gender right now is fucked. (This is from a computer.)
According to my phone, my gender is just so annoying but slightly different than I expected but it would be said that they are not in the middle of the game
Fun fact: It is illegal to throw pickle juice at a trolley in Rhode Island.
Another fun fact: Roller coasters were originally invented to distract people from sin.
And a third fun fact for good measure: the wood frog can survive north of the Arctic Circle while the Australian water-holding frog can wait up to seven years for rain.
Blessed be all of you who read this! Thank you!
Read it all. Loved it, and you. Thanks for the blessing, and backatcha. Signed, Grandfather Glad You Younguns Have Folks to Talk to.
Oh jeez, I so identify with your frustration: Trying to explaing the Real problem so for them to end up not getting it.
And also it's very normal in your situation to worry about how they'll react if one day you decide to tell them you are aro ace.
Whatever you decide to do try to have some friend/friends or family to rely on who already know and accept it, telling them or not, we always need a support and loving network.
If anything, you've already got a lot of supportive strangers here with OT.
ALSO, nice fun facts, roller coaster one got me for a loop!
I'm sorry you're going through this and your concerns you're completely valid. 50% of the time they're telling the truth and 50% of the time they're making empty statements I'm sure you know which.
You cannot say that you 'support' something simply because you do not take direct action in opposition to it. I am sick and tired of hearing things like this come out of mouths of people who really should know better.
This is like saying that you support integration but still only patronize "white only" facilities, do nothing for the cause and then in the comfort and privacy of your own home say, "I'm totally fine with colored people having rights, but they already have water fountains and soda shops and schools do they *really* need to use *ours* especially if it makes people uncomfortable?" (When the individual is so privileged and blissfully ignorant that they have no idea of basic facts like non-white water fountains having toxic water etc).
Honestly this really is not a stretch in comparison, it wasn't that long ago that I had to listen to people say things like "I've got no problems with gays just as long as I don't have to see it." (Well then clearly you *do* Kevin. In less than 10 to 15 minutes from now you're going to be heavily intoxicated and groping your opposite sex significant other at a little league game, but you don't want same-sex couples to exist together in public. Honestly, which is less appropriate in this scenario? 🧐)
Now the tides are shifted towards trans individuals.
Perhaps not your parents if you can't do so with your parents,
But we as a community need to call out these false, self proclaimed 'allies' and 'supporters' that pride themselves on being so virtuous and good and open-minded but as soon as they think that no one's there to look behind the curtain - the people closest to them are unhappy, unheard, and feel unsafe to be their authentic selves.
*That* is not support.
Aww, I'm so sorry that your parents are like that, it sucks. I am also aro and ace! As well as nonbinary! My parents are more accepting than yours it seems. It took them a while to understand all three of my identities, but even now they still say annoying and wrong things. Sometimes my parents still use the wrong pronouns even though it's been 2 years since I came out! And my mom has the same thing about it being "too dangerous for girls" if a trans girl is there. UGH. She used to say maybe I'd "change my mind" about being aroace and nonpartnering and childfree. But she's given up on that now. She works at a catholic school and I thinks it messes with her mind. It makes her more fearful and closed minded. My dad is much more open and so caring. We just want them to understand, or at least try to. Why is it so hard for them? I wish I knew.
Oh also cool fun facts!
I would test the waters first, before coming out, and only come out if you feel safe doing so. I did this with my own family, discussing trans topics in the news, and preemptively dropping facts and studies to dispel any misconceptions they might have. I suppose I was fortunate, in a way, to have come out at a relatively late age, when I'm better informed and equipped to debunk all the misinformation out there. i.e. Gender identity comes from the brain, regardless of any external physical traits. If someone were to lose those traits in an accident, wouldn't they still be the same person on the inside?
Reminder that David Bowie at the 1975 grammy awards said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen and others." Bowie was always ahead of his time.
I got my haircut while on a break at work (I work outside and work clothes are pretty gender neutral) and when I looked in the mirror I saw ME. It’s honestly the happiest I have ever remembered being with the possible exception of getting my university acceptance letter. I did not tell my parents beforehand based on “better to beg forgiveness than ask permission” kind of logic. They seemed disappointed it was “so short” but weren’t angry
I got misgendered most of the day and then got online only to see OT once again being able to make my day. You are such an amazing person thank you so much for all you do 💙
what are your pronouns??
Same!💜
How strange?! Clearly your pronouns are ‘My Liege’ 🤷🏼♀️
Supreme Leader Zoltan, you do not deserve such peons in your life. Those ppl dont deserve the honour of bein around our liege, Zoltan.
Hey OT! You probably won't see this but I just wanted to say I finally got my hair cut! It's not much but it's a key milestone in my transition as a closeted trans man. You and your channel have been a constant source of serotonin in my life for about a year now and your videos help me see the good in the world and keep me motivated to be the person I truly am. Thank you, for all you've meant to me.
not OT but that's amazing and I'm happy for you!
Also not OT, but that's awesome! Congrats man!
That's awesome! Super proud of you for taking that first all important step. I know that being closeted is likely really rough on your mental health (I've been there), but I have faith you can stick it out until you can open that closet door and step into fully living your best life.
Best of luck to you, friend
I tip my hat to you, one trans man to another 🎩
Not OT, but I'm happy for you, dude. Keep up the good fight! Don't forget that you are loved and cared for!
As an enby im so happy to see that this subreddit exists
I typed my gender is... and got "yes," "ah," and my favorite, "scream."
I hope you know how much your videos help people. Keep up the amazing work 💕
I got “not” “okay” and “but”
My gender is not a problem for the tall man
My gender is also ahhh and scream.
My gender is the best
My gender is a valid one
I've called my enby sibling "fiore" ("flower" in Italian) because while "fiore" is masculine, "flor", in my language, is feminine, so it is feminine because of our language but is actually masculine, being both at the same time
This makes a lot more sense considering flowers are the plants’ both female and male genitals!
As an italian i highly approve of this, though i've seen "fiore" used mostly to describe females so it's at least 70% efficient i think :/
@@jooree7696 thanks for telling me more about your language, i hope i can pick it up soon so i can finaly stop reminding my dad that i don't speak italian even tho he does as one of his mother tongues (i'll do it when i finaly get intermediate in spanish lol), it still works tho because my sister is way more feminine inclined and prefers feminine pronouns most of the time :)
(also i had forgotten about this comment and even that i did such thing in the past, but it was indeed a cute nickname)
8:48 Thanks to Google Translate, The Click's translates to 'my gender is the same person who is on his way to work' and I love that.
"They/them? Are you plural?"
Yes, I have many forms that include, approximately 27 rats in a trench coat, a swarm of wasps, and a stack of tiny goblins, but each goblin looks like a member of your immediate family, so the number of goblins changes via different perspectives.
That’s what I said when someone was being rude because im a he/they. (I’m multiple possums in a trench coat but use he to summon the nice one, he gives you art doodles)
I asked my girlfriend which of the nicknames she’d want and she said mad sea captain. Life could not be better.
As an ace-spec nonbinary person, I find that "I/me" meme on a literally spiritual level, even though I have preferred pronouns (they/he/neos). Tbh, I'd rather live in a world where sex only mattered for reproductive and healthcare purposes, and gender-based oppresion (norms, policing, segregation, transphobia, misoginy/patriarchy etc.) wasn't a thing at all. People should just dress as whatever makes them feel truly happy and have whichever harmless manneirisms express their personalities most efficiently, in their own opinion. Why should boys be socialized to become aggressive dudes who think showing vulnerabilty or "looking gay" are bad things? Why should girls be socialized to become women that are hypervigilant of how others (men in particular) perceive them? Imho, so-called gendered AESTHETICS can be fun to experiment with, but gender as a complex social performance that's been constantly judged according to tacit, arbitrary, nonlistable standards? Gimme a break.
Edit: ContraPoints' video "Transtrenders" and Caelan Conrad's "Queer and Trans Joy" do a very good job at conveying how good feeling "at home" in one's own gender can be. Chill Goblin's "Gender Theory FOR DUDES" also does that really well on one of its chapters (Chil Goblin's cis, which proves that GE's not a trans-only thing)
Steph personally dont believe in pronouns and likes to hear people say Stephs name, like caveman 😋
louder for the people in the back
@@sockruhtease ah yes, the good old “say my name” strategy. You, Steph, are doing this right
Same. You put it into words better than I could have.
I mean, i myself like being gendered more than being non-gendered, but i get your point, and also, i think sex as a tool of comfort and pleasure rather than just reproduction is a pretty neat thing
I typed “my gender is” and it came up with “my gender is not allowed to slay the world” which is true in our society 😭
I got "My gender is a little kid with a friend who has a new story for me to get a new one of the best way to go to the doc and I don't know what to do"
"My gender is not my personality"
Damn...thats kinda deep..-
My gender is la la and the tree is das nicht and the holy Mount
Multilingual struggle 😔✊️
I remembered somewhere that frogs were once used as a form of pregnancy test.
The animal previously used to detect a pregnancy was rats, but the process of using them for that was expensive, limiting that method to people that could actually afford it(the rat also died and was checked to see if the individual was pregnant or not). With frogs, people could get results on if they're pregnant based on whether the frog laid eggs or not(and the frog survives).
(Note: I don't know how accurate this is, but it came to mind when I saw frogs here)
They also used rabbits for that purpose
Mama Doctor Jones did a whole video rating old-timey pregnancy tests, and I know she talked about the frog one.
Yup! My mom got a some retired pregnancy lab frogs back when she was in her twenties and started breeding them as a hobby. Apparently so did a lot of people, and that's why African clawed frogs are so common at pet stores
M.A.S.H. has an episode where they use a rabbit, they work real hard to make sure the rabbit survives.
Still waiting on Jose to do a video on that old awesome show. If you haven't seen him check out his Golden Girls or Married With Children or Dinosaurs videos. They're great.
I literally learned this fact earlier today how did I run into the same fact later?
For those of you who want the translation to the second half of Click’s gender, it’s “that is on the way to work”
And his response was basically just “Yup”
Thank you! I was wondering what he said! And then the cameo again at the end had me caught off guard 😆 must’ve been a continuation of the joke
*One reason I adore OT for is his love for language. Every time he talks eloquently about little linguistic subtleties, it just feels like home* 🥰🤗
"My gender is valid"
Intresting.. Very intresting, and yes
OT's confusion over Snom's post is hilarious. The complete confusion of "Nidorino" mixed with the idea that "my owner's-" is meant to be something saucy, when in fact the person is just actively roleplaying as a gummy caterpillar like Pokemon in the way people POV blog about their pets, makes for a bundle of laughs. Never Change OT.
3:11 oh my goodness, One Topic doesn’t know Pokémon
oh no it me
'My gender is one thing that I really would love to be able to function properly'
This is so accurate lol😂😂🎉
I'm gonna do a few:
My gender is a Japanese subculture based on Harajuku and Victorian Rococo styles.
I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to the bathroom, she heard an odd sound coming from the handicapped stall.
(Both were an exserpt from a book I wrote in middle school)
Hi I couldnt answer on OTs comment, so I figured I could join yours:
My gender is a god
My gender is being weird and I feel bad 😔
I couldn't post on ots comment either, so here's mine joining.
My gender is not the same thing.
My gender is the balance we make together.
My gender is so good I can think about that and I am so glad to be there
I think it's worth noting that the "thon" pronouns were invented to allow reference to someone whose gender was unknown or irrelevant rather than to refer to someone nonbinary. I also think it's worth noting that that doesn't matter when if comes to respecting people's pronouns. We still should.
Also, I always want to jokingly say that trans men are men, trans women are women, and nonbinary people aren't. But I've found that people tend not to get the joke and think I'm invalidating nonbinary people, when that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying. It's a shame because I think that joke is *hilarious*.
I think you mean
“Trans men are men, trans women are women, and enbys ain’t either.”
The word ‘either’ likely would help get your point across
@@utamari yeah I'm aware I could say that. I don't find it quite as funny. I have a dry sense of humour, so this problem comes up often.
That joke is amazing 😂
@@nathanielraefraughton5218 I'm glad someone appreciates it!
As a enby, i think that's perfect. I laughed out loud lol. Have a good day!
I remember my 'they're' as a shortening of 'they are', 'there' is for places cause it has 'here' in it, and 'their' I remember that it's e before i because 'their' is a possessive for 'they'. Thats all the memory tricks I got for that 😁👍🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
“My gender is in my life right next to the school spirits”
Oh 🤠
I just wanted to thank OT for helping me realize that I was non-binary and that I've learned so much from him so, thank you OT
I'm glad he could help but I'd recommend finding more support than just his channel. There is an amazing array of people within most LGBT groups so I hope you can find one you fit with.

"my gender is a place not far away where I feel save to just be me"
Wow, still in the process of figuring out my identity while also struggling with social anxiety, this was surprisingly reassuring to me. Thanks auto correct. And thanks OT for the amazing video!
That's so good. I love it. Thank you for sharing. ☘️
16:07 That is accurate: I use the term 'androsexual' because I am attracted to people of all genders who are on the more masculine spectrum. The term does not tell my gender relation to the other person, and it is open to not be as restrictive to a specific gender like homo- and heterosexual are. It's also more specific than bi- or pansexual because unlike those sexualities, I truly am not attracted to femininity regardless of whom it is attached to. There are more sexuality terms like that such as gynosexual [attraction towards femininity], so for anyone who feels like they know pretty well whom and what they are interested in: A little investigation in terminology might be helpful.
This is honestly so helpful to read. I've been confused by my sexuality forever, and only recently realized that it wasn't the sex or gender of the person that determined if I was attracted to them, but whether they appeared more feminine or masculine. I am attracted to people of all genders who present feminine. I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who has this experience. Thank you random internet friend!
Oh shi, my friend is the same but in the opposite direction, they only like feminine and feminine aligned peeps! What's the word for that..??
@@captaincaspian42 Gynesexual, though I think some prefer femmesexual
Not 100% sure what the difference is, they probably overlap a fair bit but some people just identify with one term more than the other? Feel free to correct me
“My gender is a bit more than I thought it would be”
I hate how weirdly relatable that is…
YES! Outsourcing my gender identiy. That's how I feel. That's the thing. That's the feeling. THAT.
Same! Pronouns are for other people's convenience. That's why I give my pronouns an any/all. The only thing I ask for myself is that they be used consistently because I want to know when I'm being talked about. That's the only part of my pronouns that affects me.
omg thank you! The outsourcing my gender is the perfect description for me. I had been struggling with how to describe my gender so thank you!
i just recently had a conversation with my parents about my name and pronouns that went not great and this video really helped me feel a lot better, thank you
"My gender is a bit different from the one thing showing that our world had gone bad all of a sudden and we were a bit shocked to hear that"
the second to last meme is so relatable, as a gender-apathetic myself, I don't care or know what pronouns should be used for me, just spice it up if you want, use he/they/she all in the same sentence if you want, your guess is as good as mine, it is impossible to misgender me
I RELATE SO DAMN MUCH to the meme where the swarm of bees explained that they left gendering them to others bc they didn't need to gender themself. At the school i work at, the kids asked me if i was a boy or a girl, and i literally told them "that's up to you, i mind neither"
4:32 I love þ it’s pronounced like th and so it’s thussy like them/the -ussy and that is amazing
16:34 I'm starting right now to use "outsourcing my gender"
@16:11 so I actually do this! I am non binary and studying teaching. When I started my prac there was a lot of questions about how I would address my identity with the kids so we opted to not. The plan was to introduce myself as "miss" but respond to any title the kids gave me provided the kids were being respectful. Because the kids are too young to equate miss as female they would often ask if I was a boy or a girl and I just told the kiddos to guess... And I would just go with whatever the kids said... This worked until I was working with 11 year olds. They asked, I said guess and these kids looked at me and said "you're non-binary aren't you?". I asked how they know, they legit told me I look like other non binary people on tiktok. Then they asked why they call me Miss... I told them it's purely to make it easier for them before they shrugged and moved on the rating my mullet. 😂. I love those kids
My gender is "a much needed commentary on the way home"
I love how this emanates the journey and purpose with discovering who you are.
"My gender is that I was a real dad" as someone borderline phobic of parenthood I'm not sure how I feel about this but must admit I love the idea of having "dad energy"
Jake Peralta vibes

“My gender is not a gender but I am a person of colour and I am a good person.”
OH DEAR. I AM A GOOD PERSON BUT I’M WHITE LOL
I love that phrasing: I outsource my gender to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in
I'm new to OT's content but from the start I saw a lot of similarities between him and my uncle. They both have a similar similar sense of humor, like silly voices, like the same video games, and even look kind of similar. Except for one thing: my uncle is QAnon, incredibly homophobic and transphobic, and has anger issues. You, on the other hand, are logical and smart, LGBTQ+ supportive, calm, and also very cute. So I have decided to replace my uncle with you, you are now my new uncle. :)
Love you OT!
5:44 The solution... A mullet. You can have the sides of your head shaved but still have long hair.
“my gender is like being an epic cause of death”
accurate tbh
3:15 OT it's Pokémon, the post is supposed to be from a Pokémon's perspective
I'm glad I work with kids because they gender me correctly, unlike most of my adult coworkers. One is even like "you still use they/them?" and then procedes to say "she" 90% of the time. 🙄However, some do get it right and I really appreciate that!
Also the frog that wants a shaved head wins for me because I have sensory issues🙃 I wish I could have long flowing hair but I can't grow it out!
Side note I went on a walk in the woods this morning with just a tank top on (and pants) for the first time since top surgery and omg it was amazing!! I could never have done that before
Wait- you weren't wearing anything under the pants?-

You heard it here first, we’re God’s rotisserie chicken’s.
Also, "My gender is the only one thing that I can do correctly"
Oh
Yay
My gender is more important for people who don't understand
My gender is a gender
@@utamari ah yes. Accurate
“My gender identity has always changed in my career”
I don’t quite understand what this means 😂
2:51 I'm sure someone else has/will comment about this but basically the account is run by a snom (a Pokémon) so by owner they mean their trainer. Nidorino (knee-doe-ree-know) is another Pokémon and poison jab is a move it can learn ^^
Was wondering who else noticed
*"my gender is not a coincidence"*
very powerful.
*"my gender is the best thing ever driven in the world"*
do you drive your gender too? not as good as me!
*"my gender is a little eggy"*
eggy :)
"My gender is not the most meaningful thing in my life"
Help I think I did it wrong
My gender is a little bit more than I thought of you and the other one
Okay then
“My gender is not being able to be in the mood for a long time” “My gender is that cool 😎” “My gender is the same colour scheme as gender identity is the same colour scheme which are you and the gender of the same colour as the colour scheme in the world of colour scheme for the most people who have been using their own colours to choose gender colour and colour colours are different from the colour scheme of the gender and colour of colour colour schemes like that are the colours and colours are more than the gender colour scheme of the colour of gender colour schemes that have a different gender”
"My gender is a little embellished and I know some spells that are sharpened."
There you have it, my gender is embellished, and I apparently know some sharp spells. Neat!
“My gender is not a problem for me” I LOVE this😭
The reactions through the no pronoun names to call your partner where GOLD
The "old sport" reminded me of The Great Gatsby, and Gatsby calling Nick that.
My favorite day is when OT posts a new video and it's about a group and I'm not a part of because then I can learn more about the group the memes are for!! My friend is enby so these really help me understand what their problems are and stuff like that
7:50 the first person I ever met who I know gets my pronouns right 100% of the time was my cool coworker and it always was a shock how they could refer to me correctly cause I don't do that. They also somehow ended up surrounded by all the NB's while not being NB themselves, like, how are you an NB magnit(in a platonic way besides for that one they are dating) without being NB
I guess the balance of the universe has finally accepted non-binary people, and is pulling their fates around just as men and women.
I would say it's wholesome if it weren't for the fact that non-binary people are not Gods anymore because of that 😥
It's probably their vibe.
Well... do they happen to align with any common or stereotypical social outcast or rebel groups?
@@SomeOnlinePerson I mean, they might be a bisexual/lesbian but still, they manage to find all the NB's in that building and make them tier friend
@@youtuner9031 I mean more things that can be picked up on in outward presentation. I know I'm far from the only non-binary person (let alone queer person more generally) who tends to feel more immediately safe with and some form of kinship to those who might commonly get labeled as geeks/nerds, punks, goths, certain forms of "childish," or otherwise somehow "weird." I've even seen a number of memes about the phenomenon, including one that went over a number of fashion options that supposedly repel most people but which get perceived by the right people as "friend-shaped."
Could also be somewhat a reverse thing. There are certain fashion decisions that seems to be much more common among non-binary folks than among other populations (and not all of them actually stand out), and it's possible something like that is catching your co-worker's eye as appealing in some way so they're more likely to go start a conversation. And could just be that your co-worker gives off (or maybe detects) some kind of subtle behavioral cues that say "pleasant and respectful person), or it could be as simple as friends introducing friends to other friends.
(Quick aside: If any of this comes across as, like, patronizing or anything, please forgive me; it's not at all intended. I'm aware that I am perceived that way a lot, but still figuring out what causes that and what I can do to fix it.)
“My gender is not a gender but it’s a person who has been around since birth.”
6:35 That just reminded me that the first things written in my medical file are “non-binary” “homosexual” “works night shifts full time” and I can’t stop laughing bc I can literally say that I’ve been medically diagnosed with enby, gay and having a job 😭🤣
Literally got told by someone on twitter that they identified as a microwave (can you guess what kind of person they were?)
This video really cracked me up ♡
Excuse me you will respect my microwave brothers in toasting thank you very much.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla
I respect and accept you microwave ♡
I bet they were protogens
a microwave?
@@Nugcon It's a common jokes in the LGBTQ community, but it's often used by transphobes to make them sound like crazy people.
When you react to these, it makes them 99999× better.
No you make them 99999x better. :)
“my gender is not a gender”
this is fucking amazing 😭🙏🏻
I got the same thing from my phone! Are you a fellow enby?
That one near the end, about the “I/Me”. I resonate with that and have said the exact same thing whenever I try to describe being non-binary. I’m just me. And it’s awesome to see that actually put into text from another being living on this planet. 😊
My favorite way to explain my gender is “some days I’m the manliest man ever and some days I’m a genderless blob who does not wish to be perceived”
"The abomination that causes desolation" sounds like what you'd call your enby ex.
It's a biblical reference to the harbinger of the antichrist.
My gender is food and I have 0 years of the funniest thing I've ever seen.
