N-T-T-P
There are some well intentioned people that pass on their information and opinions, from a binary and or transsexual point of view. They are for the most part, correct for who they are and the view points that go along with who they are. The problems arise when the information given is incorrect for non-binaries.
The fault lies in the inability to understand the difference between Androgyn's, etc. and when they (binaries) have been at a stage of partial transition. They mistakenly think of it as being basically the same thing. It's not. This goes both ways. They are traveling from one end of a gender spectrum to the other end. We are transitioning (if at all) within the vastness between those ends of the so called spectrum, without any need to be at one end or the other. The spectrum is what they travel through and is very similar to where non-binaries are. It's very much the same at certain instances, but only for those short periods of time.
Non-binaries are not on that spectrum, but rather in a place that parallels, so to speak, that between gender spectrum. There aren't any clear cut ends to it (think fades away). The needs and wants that belong to non-binaries are very different from Transsexuals (there are others, but I use them as a best example). Just as how we tend to go about things, and our desires to transition specifically to our own needs are not good advice for them, so it is to try and use their ways of transitioning. There are of course exceptions, when either wish a transition like the other.
Then there is the vast variety of non-binaries that have different goals in mind. Makes for a very confusing list of how to's. That's why it is best to research and seek out knowledgable professionals who are up to date. Lot's has been happening in the last few years, and even in the last year things have changed. That's not to say that there aren't some very up to date and knowledgable people here, right now. There are. But you still need to decide if the information is right for you.
The other thing about reading peoples accounts and opinions here is that at first it can sound like just what you need or are.
Probably not. The diversity is enormous. So just be careful not to become what you read and don't think that one persons med regime and/or opinion is going to be correct for you. Again, there are some very knowledgeable people here, you need to decide what is right for you.
I'm not trying to sound discouraging, in fact, We want you to explore here and find out more about yourself by reading what others have to say. We want you to discover who you really are, and help you find out what is going to truly make you happy. Odds are good for that. It might get tough at times, but that happens to us all. There are many really good people here that can help you through the tough times. A few scars never hurts anyone. The best journeys in life always leave you with a few to brag about, lol. We and those also just getting here, can benefit from what you learn as well.
