It& #39;s been over three years since I came out as nonbinary.
Three years since I told friends, family, and coworkers to not call me woman, lady, girl, wife, daughter, or sister.
Three years since I told those same people to use they pronouns instead of she when referring to me.

If you told me three years ago that I& #39;d still get misgendered, no matter how many times I& #39;ve corrected them privately and publicly, how many posts I& #39;ve made, I would have reconsidered coming out to people outside of my friend group. Honestly, I probably wouldn& #39;t have bothered.
I& #39;m really fortunate to have great friends both in-person and online who affirm my identity. Not only that, but those friends have stuck up for me time and time again, and corrected others when I lacked the courage.
I& #39;m also lucky to have a husband who does the same.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn& #39;t come out at work, and I wouldn& #39;t come out to most of my family (save for my sister). It hurts a lot less when you don& #39;t expect others to use the right labels, pronouns, et cetera.
It still hurts, of course.

I don& #39;t have a solid way to end this thread. I& #39;m sad, frustrated, hurt, and there isn& #39;t much I can say to mitigate those feelings.
I will say this, though:
This is just one of the many reasons the Found Family trope is a favorite of mine.

Some shows that feature the trope:
Firefly.
Firefly.
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Legend of Korra.
She-Ra
Leverage.
Star Wars (the movies and the shows).
Star Trek (again, both shows and movies).
This isn& #39;t a show or movie, but Final Fantasy VII falls into this category.
The list goes on and on. I know I left many out.
If you happen to read this thread, give me some of your favorite movies, shows, video games, or books that feature the Found Family trope.
Until then, I& #39;m out.
