I understand that the idea of Man and Woman as the only two identities, and that body parts are tied to those identities, seems like a fundamental truth to your human experience.
But let me tell you about my nonbinary experience...

I’m just one person and this is therefore just one story...
I knew I was not a boy when I was growing up. In fact, when I was about 13 I assumed I’d get, and started to plan for a “sex change.” I knew of Christine Jorgensen and thought THAT was my path.

But I quickly realized that I am not a woman either. I’m not a man. I’m not a woman. I’m nonbinary.
It wasn’t until I became famous on Vine though that I first heard the word nonbinary...my shoulders relaxed and I felt seen for the first time. That why I do what I do.

Through my book and my videos I want to give other trans/nonbinary people that same sense of relief and the same sense of self-kindness I felt when I first heard the word and learned the concept of NONBINARY
A comment I often get is, rudely, someone will say: “obviously nonbinary doesn’t exist and you’re just a man. Why not just say you’re a man and expand the definition of man”

Men and Women are not told what their gender identity “really” is. Trans/nonbinary people are told this all the time
HERE’S THE THING, I’m as much me as anyone else. I know my gender as well as any man or woman.
“How do you know you’re nonbinary?”
How do YOU know your gender?
