Pick your battles as a nonbinary person.

It's unlikely that you'll convince every bigoted person you come across to accept that nonbinary people deserve human rights.

Save your strength for the ones you have a chance at convincing.

Perhaps things have not gotten "better" for you just yet as a nonbinary person.

While life may remain hard, the strength that you have and the wisdom you derive from this struggle will be a benefit to yourself and the nonbinary community.

You're a gift to us all now and in the future.

Your existence as a nonbinary person is extremely important.

Unfortunately, your life is also a war, and every day you survive is a battle won against extremists. They would rather reduce humanity to fit their own small and fearful imaginings, than embrace the beauty in all of us.

I know that you didn't ask for this. I don't want a fight, either. At this point, however, it's our gift to the future to keep living and sharing who we are as nonbinary individuals.

Demonstrate that people are wild, wonderful, and complete as we are.

You might not be where you had hoped at this point in your life.

Being nonbinary can throw a wrench into many plans or at least make them more complicated. Even if discrimination is somehow not a factor, issues with employment, health, relationships, etc. are only ever partially under your control.

Remember that you're more than a series of goals to be crossed off a list.

Create what you need to create as a nonbinary person. The hangups of society censor you enough as it is without letting it into your mind as well.

We need what you make. The world needs your perspective.

Here's some memes I created in response to the iNaturalist staff being transmisic. It's so pathetic because doing the right thing would literally require *less* effort than this charade lofl...

Not sure how many images I can upload at once...

And yes, I am fueled by spite :)

not sure how to tag this, let me know if I should add any more.

Being nonbinary in today's various societies may have left you with some form of trauma due to bigotry, etc.

Taking time to learn and/or heal the pain is worth the effort even if it takes time.

Be gentle with yourself.

Nonbinary people have always existed and built lives across the world regardless of how safe its been for us.

Even if the political climate gets worse (or better) in our respective homes, we will always be there for each other.

We will continue to thrive.

If you've had to begin a new life recently, then you should be proud of how brave you've been.

It might take a while to build something new. Since you're probably dealing with bigotry as a nonbinary person, it may take even longer.

Starting over was worth it and the time it takes for your new life will be worth it, too.

It might be tempting, and even necessary in some cases, to create what is seen as "normal" works of art, literature, etc. and forgo your own experience as a nonbinary person in the process.

Do what you must to survive, of course, but be sure to remember why you create in the first place.

Give yourself a space to be true to yourself no matter the pressures from a narrow minded, external society.

You deserve respect in all things as a nonbinary person.

You're worth more than an afterthought or being a token in someone else's "diversity" crown.

You're a human being, who is equal to all other human beings without the artificial hierarchies and bigotry imposed on you.

You are more than the value someone might place on you.

Nonbinary people get invalidated every day, and yet we don't give in.

One has to admire such perseverance and strength.

For as long as there are people, there will be nonbinary people.

No matter what laws are passed, what rights are lost or granted, or how bad things get, nonbinary people will keep living.

Whether in hiding or in plain view, we will remain. And, we will be there for you.

You can be angry about the state of world regarding nonbinary rights (or any other issue).

Many societies are far more dangerous and difficult than they should be for us. It's only natural for these facts to stir feelings of dissatisfaction, when a positive outlook falters.

All of your emotions are worth feeling and acknowledging.

The time you're forced to spend with bigoted relatives is likely temporary.

Soon, you'll have some room to breath again, and a break from their painful comments and actions.

You'll be ok.

I'm sorry for the isolation, abuse, and/or loss of a family that tainted or stole your childhood as a nonbinary person. That pain is not something any child should suffer.

I hope that in your adult life you experience abundant love and companionship with people who are worth it.

Social mores are not important in themselves.

As a nonbinary person, it's unlikely that you'll be able to fill such mores even if you wanted to anyway.

Leave them behind, because they have consistently failed to consider you.

Your symptoms should be heard and taken seriously by medical professionals, when you're nonbinary or otherwise.

While you may not be able to change the mind of a closed minded medical professional, remember that the fault is theirs for not hearing you, and not your fault for having needs and medical issues.

Find medical professionals who will listen to you as a nonbinary patient, if you can.

Their job is to help you first, not for you to make their day easier.

Good people who truly care about their craft are out there.

I hope that you don't become consumed by the loneliness that often haunts nonbinary people or anyone outside the boundaries of "normalcy."

Instead, I hope that you find (or keep) the special bonds that develop between people, who have carved the freedom to love honestly in a rigid world.
