Even if you don’t understand, you can still be there for us.
Our identity is valid.
It's real and it matters.
I'm Camille, I'm 22, non-binary.
I'm here to talk to you about non-binarity.
Non-binarity is an umbrella term for gender identities
beyond male/female.
That could mean being agender,
having no gender, being neutral.
Or identities that shift.
Imagine gender as a spectrum with male and female poles.
Some people move along the spectrum.
Like genderfluid, demigender, pangender people, and so on.
I never really felt connected to femininity.
At 18, I began questioning my gender identity.
I met a trans man I was with for a while,
and together we found the words to name my identity: non-binary.
He had more information than me,
which really helped me understand.
