9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even if you don't understand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can still[br]support and standy by us.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Our Identity is real

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it exists.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(Non-Binary Stories)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My name is Cami, I am 22 years old,[br]I am non-binary,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and i'm here [br]to explain non-binary to you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Non-binary, [br]is an umbrella term

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which includes[br]all gender identities

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that are neither[br]exclusively male

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or exclusively female.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It can be agender, [br]the "a" meaning a subtraction

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of gender or gender neutrality

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or it can include[br]all fluid identities.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like if we imagine gender[br]as a spectrum with two poles,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
male and female.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can have a moving cursor

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that includes all people[br]who are gender fluid,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
demi-gender, pangender, etc.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've never really identified[br]with femininity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At 18 years old, I already started

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to ask questions

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on my gender identity,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I met a trans man

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With whom I'd been with for a while,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and together we were able define[br]my identity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which was non-binary.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think it was due to him

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
having way more [br]information than me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that helped me find the words [br]to explain my identity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Gender identity is about who you are,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the gender we feel,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that we live in, [br]that we experience,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and gender expression,[br]is what we show to others.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's how we express this our identity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's possible to have a gender identity,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's for example, male,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you are a man,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and then have a gender expression

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that is feminine[br]with many markers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
society considers feminine.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Like for example,[br]Bilal Hassan, is a man

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with a feminine gender expression.
