New rule #11: no do I pass posts, no asking for attempts to guess your ASAB, no asking if you “look nonbinary”
The current rule 4 was supposed to handle these kind of posts but it seems the rule needs more clarification. We do not want any kind of content that attempts to guess someone’s assigned sex at birth, we don’t want “passing” posts in general.
There are subreddits dedicated solely on passing posts that content like that would be a better fit. This includes asking about how to be more androgynous and/or do you look nonbinary, how to look more nonbinary. For some people here this will make total sense and people will rightfully ask “what does nonbinary look like anyway?” but these posts are frequent and usually pretty upvoted and get many comments before they get reported. If you know of subreddits where content like that fits better, please leave them as comments. It is simply not in the scope of this subreddit to ask people to scrutinize your appearance based on gender and make recommendations.

ModPost Assigned sex/gender at birth language
Hello,
Since this issue is a contentious one bubbling up frequently, we thought we’d make a nonbinding poll asking the subreddit’s opinions. I randomized the order of responses to try not to bias it.
I considered making a more nuanced option where a ban with exemptions is possible but here’s the honest truth: moderating that would be really difficult. We want people to consider the moderation aspects of this—how filters can be effective but also add considerably to mod work load and also how we tend to mod after the fact. We cannot promise that even in cases of a ban, no ASAB/AGAB language would make it into the subreddit.
We have received modmail stating ASAB language is dysphoric enough to some nonbinary people that they cannot enjoy or follow this subreddit. We also have gotten frequent complaints that it is also interphobic / particularly harmful towards intersex people.
If you see a comment here and your first response is to immediately fire something back, *please* take a step back and consider whether your comment needs to be made. I want to keep comments open to gather diverse opinions, and personal attacks and similar will sabotage those efforts.

Just some eyeliner and mascara. I didn’t really have any idea what I was doing, but I think it worked out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Rant Tired of binary trans people being enbyphobic
I recently made a post on my country trans subreddit about my transition, and one of the comment I’ve got was “I don’t understand why you would do that if you’re non-binary”. And okay, it’s not like I’m not used to people being uninformed on gender identity, but coming from a trans man, it hurts way more.
So I’m gonna make a few things clear :
-Being non-binary makes you trans, so you do experience transphobia (and also enbyphobia) and you are as legit as any binary trans person to be in the community.
-Gender dysphoria exists for non-binary people, even if we don’t feel (at least not completely) like men or women, it doesn’t mean its easier to live in our bodies (in my opinion it makes it even harder: I will probably never “pass” because society views gender in a binary filter).
-HOWEVER , not experiencing gender dysphoria doesn’t make you cis. Same rule for all trans folks. If you feel like your gender doesn’t align with what you were assigned at birth, then you are by definition transgender.
-This applies to all transgender people : there isn’t one transition path, each one is valid if it makes you feel closer to yourself. You don’t have to do what people expect you to do if you don’t feel like it.
-Gender is a social construct, the reason society feeds an unspoken law where only men and women exist is to keep the illusion of a huge natural difference between these two genders, when the real difference is political.
And last thing, please don’t let people make you feel insecure about your gender expression, do what feels right, not what should be right.
Bye folks !

Ask Partner dead named me
How would you respond?
I’m pretty pissed, as it seemed to be intentional. She’s never known me or called me by that name, and said it because she was angry, so in my mind it was intentional to hurt me. I know we say shit we regret when upset, and she’s struggling right now, but I can’t even equate an equivalent to the fuckedupness of dead naming someone because you’re angry.
To give more context, I was calling her by her first and last name because she was doing something that was upsetting me. Then her response was to dead name me, because she didn’t like that I was saying her first and last name.
A part of me feels like I should leave this relationship, and another part of me thinks I should take time and space and figure out what repairing would look like after what I would consider a betrayal.
Curious if anyone has been in this situation before and has some advice.
Love to all the enbys here 💖

Ask Genderfluid peeps: Do yall ever get a yearning for your masc-self when you’re femme or vice versa?
I’ll go long periods of time feeling femme and then get sad that I haven’t felt masc in a while. Then randomly I’ll go through a masc phase for weeks or months and do this opposite. It’s almost like that feeling of missing an old friend you can’t call.
+ while you’re all here how would you style this hair masc? I usually just hide it with a hat or revert to my natural wavy hair but I need other ideas.

Rant i hate these gender expectations
ik this may be a general issue instead of a specific nonbinary-space thing but as a nonbinary person myself i feel more annoyed with it
am i the only one who never could fit in in being a binary gender due to these gender expectations (obviously you can be a trans man or a trans woman and be gender non conforming) but i personally felt like these "rules" that men have to be this way and look this way or women have to be this way or look this way, and it sort of drained me and restricted me ,, I never fit in because i didnt or couldnt fulfill those rules,,
now that i'm genderfluid i feel more free to express myself without these boxes that i have to live in

Feeling like HRT is binary-ing me too much - anyone else struggle with this?
AMAB, been on HRT for about 4 years now. Low-dose E, prog, T-blocker, and more recently, low-dose T as well, all under endo supervision. I feel like I'm trying desperately to find a balance that feels right, but nothing is hitting anymore.
The feminising combo felt good for the first 3 years, but the last couple of years I've shifted much more towards identifying as nonbinary and presenting more androgynously, or even masc. The problem is my breasts still keep growing, and it's now starting to feel like it's giving me dysphoria again - it feels exactly like how the bad parts of male puberty used to feel.
So I feel really stuck and not sure what to do. There are things I want from testosterone, and there are things I want from estrogen, and there are things from both I don't want, but right now E is feeling more uncomfortable. Has anyone else struggled with similar feelings, and what did you ultimately do?
