0:00:05.430,0:00:06.870
Even if you don't understand,[br]you can always support and encourage us.

0:00:06.870,0:00:08.860
Our identity is still legalized[br]and it exists.

0:00:08.860,0:00:10.400
My name's Cami, I'm 22,[br]and I'm non-binary

0:00:21.480,0:00:22.580
and I'm here to talk about non-binary.

0:00:22.580,0:00:25.020
Non-binary is an umbrella term [br]that includes all gender identities

0:00:28.090,0:00:29.720
that aren't only male [br]or only female.

0:00:33.582,0:00:35.252
It can be agender so "a", subtracts,

0:00:36.186,0:00:37.666
and it means genderless, is neutral,[br]or it can be all fluid identities,

0:00:38.606,0:00:40.476
as if gender is a spectrum with 2 poles,[br]masculine and feminine.

0:00:41.432,0:00:42.652
We can have a cursor that moves.

0:00:42.652,0:00:44.262
Everyone who identifies as gender fluid,[br]demigender, pangender, etc.

0:00:52.165,0:00:53.215
I never really identified with femininity.

0:00:54.419,0:00:55.929
At 18, I already started asking myself[br]questions on my gender identity,

0:00:56.671,0:00:58.101
and I met a trans guy,[br]who I was with for some time,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we put into words my identity, [br]which is non-binary.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think it's because he had much more[br]information than me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that he was able to help me find the words[br]about my identity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Gender identity is what we are.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is the gender we feel, [br]we live with and experiment with.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And Gender expression[br]is what we let others see.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is the way we express our identity.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We can have a gender identity

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for example, male:[br]we're a guy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we'll have a gender expression

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that is feminine, with many labels[br]considered feminine in society.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For example, Bilal Hassani is a man[br]with a feminine gender expression.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I told my parents that I was non-binary

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that I wanted to change my first name[br]at the same time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was 20, so it was two years ago.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My mom took it very well.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She was already familiar [br]with gender issues.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She was very deconstructed to the idea[br]and very safe.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I felt safe.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
With my dad, it was a bit delicate.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I took more time to talk to him[br]and I didn't do it in person.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I sent him a message[br]because it was simpler for me to handle.
