And I truly cannot believe that Dave Hughes is younger than me... he looks like a wreck.

I'm not screaming, "Why am I like this!" I am asking, calmly and softly, "Why might I be like this?" Because I might be traumatised, or I may not necessarily be neurotypical... So that is where I am at.

Okay, so that store has amazing clothes... but I am still scared. I have got to deal with this. #enby #nonbinary

Watching just a part of this was nauseating. I feel sick... What kind of stupid oppressive military theocratic dictatorship is coming?

Uh, no. We're running as independent, and voting for ourselves.

We can talk about Angry Anderson, but can we remember that he was at all those rallies where people were holding up "Ditch the witch" in protest against Julia Gillard.

If you're press, and the President has labelled you "fake news" and banned you from the White House, that's a great badge of honour. We need to protect these people.

That explains the bankruptcies perfectly. Also the current financial deficit the US has.

So I only learnt what "Hospital corners" are when Huntress told me to make our bed for the first time... in 1999. People had talked about them, but I just assumed that this was something they did when they made beds in hospital that people copied. Basically I tucked the sheets under the mattress.

Thankfully I am a non-binary serval.

Yeah... umm identity isn't always that simple, but I think I can see exactly where you're coming from. Me, personally, no... I mean my hair has had a mind of it's own since I was a late teen, and that's been cool, but my bod... I really really want a waist. But then I'm not cis either.

No I can't really use headphones and my MP3 player (yes, I'm ancient) in public because the self-control I need to not walk in time with the music, or to not sing along is unbelievably agonising.

F*cking conversion therapy ... State sponsored and intentionally cruel.

I have seen the movie "Wolf" before, and it is a good movie, and I hated what it shows. This time I feel an absolute loathing for the doctor and the institute. #lgbtiqa+

000

So this is a new feeling... umm, comfort? Maybe. I'm non-binary, and comfortable... my pronouns? They/them... and comfortable. Umm... yeah, comfortable.

000

Watching Kirby correctly gender Rhys on "Traitors" is - like - so amazingly affirming in ways I did not expect. Anyway... #enby

000

Okay, yep, felt that. You're most definitely you... I mean that's all that counts. Umm... try this, what advice would you give to someone else who told you they were feeling this way? And why are you undervaluing your own existence? Plus give yourself permission to go baby steps... piece by piece.

tartlette68 @tartlette68.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Watching the Traitors... which I don't enjoy but Huntress does, and she keeps on misgendering Rhys, despite Kirby and the others on the show using their correct pronouns... and I have to say something.

000

The current President is a complete numpty arsehole jerk.

tartlette68 @tartlette68.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I think I am in love with this. It looks amazing. I learnt crochet and knitting from my Mum's Mother when I was in high school... but not to that standard.

"'Non-binary'? Ha ha, you're not real. What's wrong with you? Come on, you call yourself a man?" These people don't actually listen to themselves, do they?

000

So let me put it this way... Asexuality and the physical act of having sex. It's an effort to want to have sex, and some may want to want to have sex.... Like allosexual people have to put effort into not having sex, and some of them may want to not want sex. Maybe? It sounded better in my head.

These are the musicians I wanted to look like when I was a kid... Adam from Adam and the Ants Annie Lennox Bowie Patti Smith I mean why complicate it, right! Gender? I avoided thinking about gender, so yes, enby is quite a refuge.

000

So I have unconsciously wandered into a space where I forget that I haven't come out as enby yet... it's sort of weird at times, but this is progress. Progress in that I feel happier.

000

That's okay, in my household I'm mowing the lawn AND doing the dishes, oh, and please let me do all he washing. I want them dry, and I love folding them and putting them away... oh and ironing, except SHE doesn't believe in ironing so we don't have an ironing board. And I do the driving, too.

Yes, okay Donnie, and just for a little while the rest of the world has named The White House "The Villa Of Dumb and Dumber". Thank you for your attention to this matter, The World.

Brief update... very happy, now, and comfortable with being enby... and nothing more specific because... well I don't really have to explain why, do I? Nup, and I'm not a venn diagram either.

000

Besides that that, they helped me realise I was non-binary.

000

So a mascot has people tied up in knots because they are enby. She is a representative mascot and now, apparently, the Universe will commence collapsing in on itself (because the Universe is most definitely non-binary).

000

Oh hun, I'm sure that you're not real, but this mascot is definitely non-binary. Or have you got proof otherwise?

000

Oh, believe me cats are enby. I know this from experience.

If you're working in the retail or service industries you really need to pay attention to your language. "Can you help this customer?" "Please show this person to the..." Oh, and drop the "Sir" or "Ma'am"... Just a friendly smile and "What can I do for you?" "How can I help you?" #enby

000

"Individual", "person", "a source"... it's not really difficult. Oh but "the rules of grammar"... Yeah right...

Top half skater person, bottom half skinny jeans but my shoes are awful because they just are. As long as my hoodie is long enough to reach down to the top of my thighs, I feel okay. But I need more pink, more rainbow... and purple. enby expression.

Okay, so XXY is biology. "Male" is the guess made by someone (either from an ultrasound, or by looking at your naked body when you were born). "cis" means the guess was accurate, "trans" means they guessed wrong... You figured it out. XXY can mean your biology presents unique situations.
