Maryland Middle School Students Were Given Tips on How to Handle Being Non-Binary During a Lesson on ‘Transgender Awareness Week’

STUDENT: “Today we are actually going to be talking about tips for being non-binary. This again is a question that I often get in my DMs on Instagram. Do you have any tips for being non-binary? So my advice about this is to, if you feel like a label would be helpful for you, then go ahead and attach yourself to that label. But don't feel like you have to stick to it. And you're able to change, you can evolve. I have had that experience myself in my own journey. You know -- I did identify as straight, even though I never really was. I identified as bi for a minute -- even though I actually was never bi. And then I identified as a lesbian, which is probably the closest terminology for my sexuality, because I like girls. And the non-binary thing also came around in an odd way, because I always kind of identified as this androgynous person, and I sort of evolved to feel, OK, this androgynous word is the right word for me. But then I was like, oh, the new word that the kids are using these days is non-binary. And I think like, that makes more sense.”
