There are more of us out there, it's the lack of need to identify, or how to identify, that hides them.
Everyone has heard of binary Trans* people. There are things in common, but it's just not them, and they feel that.
We are different in the fact that we don't have as pressing a need to transition, if at all, as binary Trans* so often do.
I think that holds a lot of non-binary Trans* people back from finding out more about themselves and finding others.
I think this is true from the statements that new people here make when they find this place or another, online.
I know I did, a couple of years or so back. And the people who were already here, had a similar experience.
There is a certain fear that some have, that they will only find binary Trans*.
Something they are not looking for, or questioning about, in themselves.
When non-binary becomes more common in the media, so to speak, there will be more people doing the, 'Aha!, that's me!'
We are not as few as would be suspected, we are the forest that can't be seen for the trees.
It is a big place, this forest, with many paths that criss-cross over one another, with many names.
A lot of people here, many who are just quietly going their own peaceful way.
They have found where they want to be. They are familiar with the paths they have found for themselves.
Me, I may live here in my tree house, but I have more places I want to explore before I settle down.
