“But you dont LOOK nonbinary!”

consider the following:

1.) Go fuck yourself.

2.) What does nonbinary even look like? The outfit that i wear most often is black pants, a loose grey sweater, and my fake doc martins. what about that outfit is gendered to you? I got the sweater from the mens section for gods sake one of my guy friends has the same exact sweater except in a different color. 

What you’re actually saying is that you think my body is gendered. Because I dont bind then im automatically a girl! too bad! dont even consider the fact that a) my ribcage is fucking TINY and finding a binder in my size is not actually that easy and b) I fucking LIKE my boobs and the physical appearance of my body has absolutely nothing to do with my gender!! My body produces estrogen and progesterone! I have a “feminine” face and a small waist and fucking great breasts thank you very much! And i dont really have much control over that! That still does not negate the fact that im non binary! 

“But Niji you still like skirts and dresses and makeup!”

Listen friend. Listen. I like dresses on fucking everyone. including cis dudes. i just like how they look. and i respect the use of makeup as an artform. 

there are cultures in this world where men wear things that look like “skirts” or “dresses”! To say that these are inherently feminine articles of clothing is ignoring anything besides a western viewpoint!! And also enforcing the patriarchy that tells men they aren’t allowed to like “girly” things!

SO!!!! kindly refer back to point 1 !
