1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Even if you don't understand

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can still
support and standy by us.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Our Identity is real

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it exists.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Non-Binary Stories)

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My name is Cami, I am 22 years old,
I am non-binary,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and i'm here 
to explain non-binary to you.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Non-binary, 
is an umbrella term

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which includes
all gender identities

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that are neither
exclusively male

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or exclusively female.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It can be agender, 
the "a" meaning a subtraction

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of gender or gender neutrality

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or it can include
all fluid identities.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like if we imagine gender
as a spectrum with two poles,

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
male and female.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can have a moving cursor

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that includes all people
who are gender fluid,

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
demi-gender, pangender, etc.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've never really identified
with femininity.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At 18 years old, I already started

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to ask questions

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on my gender identity,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I met a trans man

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
With whom I'd been with for a while,

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and together we were able define
my identity

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which was non-binary.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think it was due to him

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
having way more 
information than me

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that helped me find the words 
to explain my identity.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Gender identity is about who you are,

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the gender we feel,

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that we live in, 
that we experience,

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and gender expression,
is what we show to others.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's how we express this our identity.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's possible to have a gender identity,

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's for example, male,

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you are a man,

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then have a gender expression

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is feminine
with many markers

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
society considers feminine.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like for example,
Bilal Hassan, is a man

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a feminine gender expression.
