You're nonbinary whether or not you transition.
You're still nonbinary if you start taking different hormones or have surgery to feel more at home in your skin. You're still nonbinary if your body is already how you need it to be.
You are nonbinary and so are your choices.
In case you need to be reminded, transitioning as a nonbinary person is worth the trouble.
You deserve to take the time, resources, and help necessary to change.
Becoming the best you is worth it for yourself and for your community.
Transitioning involves taking hold of your own fate in a uniquely powerful way.
You can be proud of that power.
If you need permission to look into medically transitioning as a nonbinary person, I'm giving it to you.
Gender affirming care is something that belongs to you, too (regardless of the various legal barriers you may need to overcome).
You deserve a chance to explore and feel happy in your skin.
#Trump issues EO stop federal support of any #gender #transitioning for those under age 19, and threatens federal litigation to prevent it, period. Any university, hospital, or medical group that gets any federal funding can and will be targeted here.
Why age 19 when age of consent / adulthood is 18? Because it sets a precedent for banning transition care all for adults, eventually.
Dark times for #trans folk and the friends and family who love them.

It's alright to be worried about transitioning.
Each step is a relatively big change even though you want that change. Being nonbinary, your path may not be straightforward, either.
Your in charge of this journey, and you set the timeline.

Stuff I've had to remind #Transgenger and #Nonbinary people about #Transitioning a lot...
1) You do not have to fully #transition. Some people just take hormone blockers, some lower the dose of the new #hormones after they're happy with results. Surgery is not only optional, but isn't even an option until after a year of #HRT.
2) You do not have to transition publicly, or on paperwork. Many transgender people quietly go on HRT and come out to friends and family without ever changing their papers or public appearance.
3) In the US, you have a rock-solid first amendment right to talk about being trans in public, regardless of what sort of transitioning you have or haven't done, or any other law. Talking about it publicly is what builds support.
4) In the US, the Supreme Court voted 6 to 3, in Bostock v. Clayton County, that discrimination on the basis of being #gay or #trans is discrimination on the basis of sex and therefore illegal.

You deserve gender-affirming care as a nonbinary person.
Your need is just as great as those who already receive such care.
Take care of yourself.

You can transition how you please and still be completely nonbinary.
You can transition in a typically “binary” fashion. You can transition in some ways, but not in others.
You get to decide what is best for you, and you are nonbinary no matter what you decide.
Being nonbinary can mean exploring new territory in terms of gender affirming care.
Your journey is meaningful even if you're unsure of it's end point. You'll know when you get there.
‘I #Identified As #NonBinary for Years but I Think I’m #Cis.’ I have been coming to understand myself as relatively #femme, and, probably, a #lesbian #cis #woman.
“#Gender #Exploration is for everyone, regardless of starting point or expectations.”
— So, you're not #trans and that's perfectly ok! You go on and be you!

A man detransitioned. Texas won’t let him update his driver’s license to his birth sex. He doesn’t understand. “I’m literally trying to be in compliance with what they want. And I’m stuck in this limbo now.”
Let me explain: they don’t want conformity; they want to punish you for being queer in any way at any time forever. Hope this helps! #lgbt #trans #gay #texas #transition #transitioning #election #vote #gayrights

I oftentimes call myself a "Recovering Sith Lady" - here on Masto, on Discord, and elsewhere.
Here's a hint: it wasn't because I wore cool robes and struck people down with a lightsaber. (Though that would have been interesting...)
This essay is the serious part of why.
I have a lot to atone for.
This is the first part of a series of essays, called "Sleeping With The Past", about coming to terms with the past - with our past selves, our past beliefs, with the missed opportunities and regrets.

Morning, all!
Today's Crashing the Gates continues on, talking about beginnings and endings - the moment when we ultimately decide to go forward in our transition, and the moment when we apparently reach our goals, and what happens when we finally get to the top.
Enjoy!
