the real non-binary heroes

[Whisper]

Almost every forum or group i've joined online ends up with a list of famous non-binary identified people. Most of the time I see musicians, models, fictitious characters, and such.

I believe the real list should be the people that truely have identified as non-binary, yet have anything impactful reaching dozens to hundreds, not just the world.

These are the people we know on friends lists. I'd rather acknowledge them and have a real list over a list of probably made up people.

Acknowledge real people not superstars and characters.

I don't want to see Bowie or anime characters, rather people who know what it actually means.

Who are the people that create things to reach out to others.

Jacey now I think is a real non-binary person that has made this forum and the YouTube channel.

Padma I have seen several places doing great stuff.

I know 2 off hand.

One is my friend Maria, a professional artist in Finland. In her free time she paints beautiful paintings and drawings of mostly non binary and androgynous people. Her artwork has been sent worldwide, and many have discovered the beauty of androgyny and other gender identifies through her art.

Another friend I know on another page is Joel S. They're tri gender, and one of the nicest young people I know. They're parents kicked them out of the house for being a trans teen, and Joel has lived around the country with friends, posting his journey on Fb. An amazing person, writes like an English teacher, is kind and respectful to everyone, and has shared his life with the internet, an inspiration that his parents never have the urge to see..!

And of course Ativan.. I will leave them for someone who knows them better than I to comment..

I agree Jayce deserves that praise.

But I would say that every one of us are heros of the nonbinary.

Some for standing up for their truth while pursuing full transition.

Others for standing up for their truth while pursuing whatever form of self expression they feel is authentic to them. Whether combining binary presentations in a way that is clearly taking parts of the binaries and having them together to create beauty, or whether it is blending these parts in a way that is also clearly beautiful, each wonderful expressions of our unique nature, like the snowflakes that fall and light up the world in their purity.

Many others for standing up under relentless pressure to conform to the world’s concept of either being transgender or just plain human by ignoring or suppressing a component of self, releasing it to be seen in protest of the worlds error.

For every one of us for daring to publically be on a forum and stand up for our right to be who we are.

For choosing life over death, family over discomfort, love over self.

For touching life after life just by being real.

Heros all.
