Découverte de la non-binarité : le témoignage de Cami

Even if you do not understand,
you can still support us

and stand by us.

Our identity is valid and it exists.

My name is Cami, I'm 22 years old.
I'm non-binary.

I am here to tell you
about the term "non-binary".

Non-binary is an umbrella term
which groups all gender identities

That are neither exclusively masculine
nor exclusively feminine.

So it can be agender, meaning substraction
of gender, which is neutral,

Or it can be, all genderfluid identities.

Like if we imagined gender
being represented on a spectrum

With two poles,
masculine and feminine,

And having a cursor
moving along this spectrum.

So, all who are genderfluid,
demigender, pangender, etc.

I have never really identified
with femininity.

At 18 years old, I already started
questioning my gender identity

And I met a trans man
who I was with for some time.

We were able to put words together
to describe my identity

Which was non-binary.

And I think that because he had
much more information than I did,

He was able to help me find
the words to describe my identity.

It is what we are,
it is the gender that we feel

That we live, that we experience.

And this gender expression
is what we show to others.

It is the manner
with which we express this identity.

So we can have a gender identity,
let's say, masculine, so we're a man.

And we're going to have
a gender expression that is feminine

With many characteristics
considered as feminine in the society.

For example, Bilai Hassani.
who is a man

With a gender expression
that is feminine.
