    I’m non-binary, genderqueer, and omnigender

    Non-binary to me just means that, that my gender is outside binary notions of gender. Genderqueer means that my gender, just like my orientations, is outside the norm. I also identify with the anti-assimilation notions “queer” carries Omnigender means that I identify with at least one gender of every quality (that is, femininity, masculinity, neutrality, androgyny, outherinity, etc), but I do not necessarily experience every gender “available” to my race, culture, neurotype, etc. There’s also some sense of demigenderness and genderfluidity on my gender, which is a bit complicated to explain, but I just label those things as part of me being omnigender. I’m also transoutherine because my presentation and transition goal are toward something that isn’t fem, masc, neu nor andro.

    Something I would like to share is to remind people to ask for pronouns and not assume a nonbinary person goes by they/them pronouns. And to remember that using they/them for a nonbinary person who’s pronouns are some set of neopronouns and/or who is transextrine (extrine: any quality, gender or person that isn’t feminine or masculine) is just as degendering as doing it to a transfem/she/her nonbinary person or a transmasc/he/him nonbinary person. Extrine genders and identities aren’t “less serious” than intrine (fem or masc) ones.
