Even if you don’t understand,
you can still support and stand by us.

Our identity is still real and valid.

[Non-binary Stories]

My name is Cami, I’m 22

And I’m here to talk about 
my non-binary identity.

Non-binary is an umbrella term
for any gender identity

that isn’t exclusively masculine
or exclusively feminine.

That could be agender

“a” indicating 
the absence of gender

which is neutral

Or it could be a fluid identity.

If we imagine gender 
as a spectrum

with two poles:
masculine and feminine

A fluid identity might
move around that spectrum.

This includes people who are gender fluid,

demigender, pangender, etc.

I never really identified with femininity.

At 18, I was already
questioning my gender identity

and I met a trans man
who I dated for a while.

Together, we put my identity into words: 
non-binary.

I think that because he was
much more informed than me

He was able to help me 
find the words to describe my identity

Gender identity is who you are.

It’s the gender you feel, 
that you live, that you experience.

And gender expression
is what you present to the world.

It’s the way you express your identity.

For example, you could have
a masculine gender identity:

So you’re a man,

And your gender expression
could be feminine,
