I remember when I first figured out I was bisexual. It was pretty cut and dry —

oh wait no it wasn’t; that’s just how I like to remember it.

I’m getting similar messy vibes around nonbinaryness now and then. Everyone is kinda nonbinary, right?

    For me, I spent thirty years in the closet waffling back and forth between “am I a boy or am I girl” before I finally decided that I must be a secret third thing

    For me, “non-binary” is a pretty cool label because it’s a non-label. And at the end of the day, I’m kind of about defying expectations so a non-label is perfect for me. It doesn’t serve me to have my life experience put in some little box to make other people more comfortable

    If labels are helpful to you, then sure, it’s worth exploring. But labels can hold you back too. At the end of the day, a person is far more complex and interesting than any label they might have assigned to them

    Although I do understand that it’s not actually correct, “everyone is a little bisexual,” does seem to line up with my experiences and biases. However, “everyone is a little non-binary” does not, so if you feel a little bit that way then congratulations! You’re one of the special humans and that’s worth celebrating
