Nonbinary doesn’t have a “look”.

I’m a little sick and tired of how nonbinary people are always portrayed as skinny, white, AFAB people with fluffy short hair who use they/them pronouns by TikTok and YouTube.

Now, if that is your nonbinary experience, that’s fine, and congratulations! For years I felt insanely jealous of you and literally loathed myself for not looking like you!

This “representation” of nonbinary people seems harmless but it also heavily stereotypes us in such a cisnormative way to make us, well… Palatable to cis people.

Nonbinary isn’t a third gender in between man and woman. Sometimes it is, but often it isn’t. Nonbinary is an expansive umbrella term for anything and everything that isn’t strictly 100% binary male or female. What this means is different to every nonbinary person.

This “rep” of enby people has genuinely made me question my identity constantly and feel as though I’m “faking it” because I don’t have that same experience as the skinny white enby on TikTok who binds and has a chiselled jawline.

I’m nonbinary because my sense of gender identity is queer. It’s heavily connected to my queerness as an aroace person, amongst other things. And no, I’m not “androgynous”. I’m white and AFAB, but I’m not skinny. I have long blond hair. I don’t bind. I like wearing dresses and makeup sometimes (but make it ✨queer✨).

Nonbinary doesn’t have a look, or pronouns, or gendered language. Nonbinary is what someone is and how they feel, regardless of how they look and how they refer to themselves.

Caption: [There’s this line in the book Nevada, “Eventually you can’t help but figure out that while gender is a construct, so are traffic lights. And if you ignore either of them, you get hit by cars, which are also constructs. In that vein, I see you as the rollerbladers in New York.

They’re aware of the lights, but they’re still going to go wherever they want. They flow through traffic, hip checking cars because they can. Turning where they want and passing those of us sitting at a red light. There’s so much beauty and wonder at watching you flow through the world.

Sometimes the lights point the way you were already wanted to go and I see you, not following, not obeying, just going how you please. Coincidentally with the cars. You look so graceful”. With love, Samantha.]

If there’s anything I want anyone to know about bisexual and nonbinary identities, it is that ambiguity is good. We don’t need the exact nuances of our identities to be encapsulated within the label we choose. If you take a hundred nonbinary people or a hundred bi people, they are going to have as many differences as they do similarities and that isnt a flaw: it’s a strength. The diversity within our communities is amazing and it is amazing that a label can remain useful for so many people despite how different we all are.
