  • Not Synced
    even if you don’t understand, you can
  • Not Synced
    always support and accompany our
  • Not Synced
    identity. Remains legitimate and exists.
  • Not Synced
    My name is Camille, I am 22 years old,
  • Not Synced
    I am non-binary, and I am here to
  • Not Synced
    talk to you about non-binarity.
  • Not Synced
    Non-binarity is an umbrella term that
  • Not Synced
    includes all gender identities
  • Not Synced
    that are neither exclusively male nor
  • Not Synced
    exclusively female. It can
  • Not Synced
    include a-gender identities—those that
  • Not Synced
    involve the absence of gender or
  • Not Synced
    a neutral gender—or it can
  • Not Synced
    include fluid identities, as if we
  • Not Synced
    imagined gender as a spectrum with
  • Not Synced
    two poles: male and female. One can have
  • Not Synced
    a position on this spectrum that shifts.
  • Not Synced
    This includes people who are
  • Not Synced
    genderfluid, demigender, pangender, etc.
  • Not Synced
    I never really identified
  • Not Synced
    with femininity. When I was 18, I
  • Not Synced
    started questioning my gender identity.
  • Not Synced
    And I met a trans man
  • Not Synced
    with whom I spent some time,
  • Not Synced
    and together, we found
  • Not Synced
    the right words to describe
  • Not Synced
    my identity—non-binary. And
  • Not Synced
    I think that he was able to help me
  • Not Synced
    because he had much more
  • Not Synced
    information than I did.
  • Not Synced
    He was able to help me find the words
  • Not Synced
    regarding my identity. Gender
  • Not Synced
    identity is who we are; it is the
  • Not Synced
    gender we feel, live, and
  • Not Synced
    experience. Gender expression
  • Not Synced
    is what we present to others,
  • Not Synced
    the way we express
  • Not Synced
    this identity. So, one can
  • Not Synced
    have a gender identity, for
  • Not Synced
    example, as a man,
  • Not Synced
    and still have a gender expression
  • Not Synced
    that is feminine, with many
  • Not Synced
    markers considered feminine
  • Not Synced
    in society. For example, Bassani, who
  • Not Synced
    is a man with a feminine
  • Not Synced
    gender expression.
  • Not Synced
    I told my parents that I was non-binary
  • Not Synced
    and that I wanted to change my name
  • Not Synced
    I was 20 years old, so it was two
  • Not Synced
    years ago. My mother took it very well;
  • Not Synced
    she was already quite knowledgeable
  • Not Synced
    about gender issues. She was open-minded
  • Not Synced
    and very supportive. I felt
  • Not Synced
    safe. With my father, it was
  • Not Synced
    a bit more complicated. It took me
  • Not Synced
    longer to tell him, and
  • Not Synced
    I didn’t do it in person—I
  • Not Synced
    sent him a message instead, because
  • Not Synced
    it was easier for me to handle. And he
  • Not Synced
    reacted fairly well. He said he
  • Not Synced
    didn’t understand everything, but that
  • Not Synced
    he would be there to support me
  • Not Synced
    and that it didn’t change anything for him
  • Not Synced
    and he still loved me the same.
  • Not Synced
    With my grandmother, it was a bit
  • Not Synced
    more difficult because it was
  • Not Synced
    something very foreign to her.
  • Not Synced
    Later, she moved to Paris and lived
  • Not Synced
    with my grandfather for 50 years.
  • Not Synced
    She was part of a very
  • Not Synced
    cis-heteronormative framework
  • Not Synced
    where she had never questioned
  • Not Synced
    her own identity or that of others.
  • Not Synced
    So when I told her about it,
  • Not Synced
    she was a bit taken aback.
  • Not Synced
    But she always made sure to
  • Not Synced
    behave in the best way possible
  • Not Synced
    with me. She has made enormous efforts
  • Not Synced
    and almost never makes mistakes anymore
  • Not Synced
    in using my chosen name.
  • Not Synced
    I applied for a name change
  • Not Synced
    in 2019. I submitted a request
  • Not Synced
    to the town hall of the city where
  • Not Synced
    I lived. I picked up an application form,
  • Not Synced
    which I filled out with testimonies from
  • Not Synced
    my loved ones stating that they used
  • Not Synced
    the name Camille to refer to me.
  • Not Synced
    I asked my school to provide a letter of
  • Not Synced
    support, etc. Then I submitted my file
  • Not Synced
    and waited a few months.
  • Not Synced
    It varies depending on the town hall,
  • Not Synced
    and my request for a name change
  • Not Synced
    was approved. Misgendering someone
  • Not Synced
    means addressing them
  • Not Synced
    using incorrect pronouns.
  • Not Synced
    So, misgendering a non-binary person
  • Not Synced
    who has explicitly stated they use
  • Not Synced
    neutral pronouns like “they”
  • Not Synced
    but instead referring to them
  • Not Synced
    with masculine or feminine pronouns.
  • Not Synced
    Personally, I use
  • Not Synced
    feminine pronouns when speaking
  • Not Synced
    and neutral pronouns when writing.
  • Not Synced
    And generally, I tend mention this right
  • Not Synced
    away: I prefer to be addressed with
  • Not Synced
    feminine pronouns in speech.
  • Not Synced
    If someone doesn’t do so naturally,
  • Not Synced
    and you want to be sure
  • Not Synced
    you are using the correct pronouns,
  • Not Synced
    you can ask them directly
  • Not Synced
    or wait until the person
  • Not Synced
    refers to themselves
  • Not Synced
    so you can follow their lead.
  • Not Synced
    In the videos I have made previously,
  • Not Synced
    there were many comments
  • Not Synced
    that actually invalidate our identities,
  • Not Synced
    that deny our gender expressions
  • Not Synced
    and our gender identities. I hardly ever
  • Not Synced
    read those comments precisely because I
  • Not Synced
    know that most of them are either
  • Not Synced
    malicious or very clumsy, and they
  • Not Synced
    would only upset me.
  • Not Synced
    I once participated in a documentary
  • Not Synced
    where people claimed
  • Not Synced
    that non-binarity was just a trend,
  • Not Synced
    that it had only emerged a few years ago
  • Not Synced
    in the United States, 10 years ago,
  • Not Synced
    and that it was tied to fashion,
  • Not Synced
    like the unisex clothing trend.
  • Not Synced
    That is completely false.
  • Not Synced
    And I think that it is also
  • Not Synced
    a very white-centered and Eurocentric
  • Not Synced
    perspective. Because in many cultures,
  • Not Synced
    multiple gender identities exist,
  • Not Synced
    but they were completely erased
  • Not Synced
    during colonization quite simply.
  • Not Synced
    Quite often, we hear that
  • Not Synced
    it is problematic or or bothersome
  • Not Synced
    to create more and more identity
  • Not Synced
    categories to identify and re-identify
  • Not Synced
    oneself, etc. But I think that
  • Not Synced
    it is extremely important to be able
  • Not Synced
    to first identify with something
  • Not Synced
    in order to detach oneself from an
  • Not Synced
    identity that was arbitrarily assigned
  • Not Synced
    to us. I think that yes, it is necessary
  • Not Synced
    to also find oneself in a community
  • Not Synced
    to build connections and know that
  • Not Synced
    we are not alone, that there is support,
  • Not Synced
    that there are other people
  • Not Synced
    like us who understand us
  • Not Synced
    and who listen to us. If I had just
  • Not Synced
    one thing to say, I think it would be that
