For me there's 3 types of clothing, male's clothes, female's clothes and unisex.
Maybe I still do not understand that whole non-binary transintergender or whatever you call it, but I think that this sounds way too complex for what it is.
If I understand this correctly, non-binary is basically between the male-female thingie, which would be what unisex is or something. It doesn't even have to be a piece of clothing that's tagged as unisex. I have ''binary'' clothes but I still look ''non-binary'' (I guess?) because of how I mix them and how I look.
It doesn't really matter, it's the final result that counts.
Correct. Unisex is marketed as a genderless fashion statement. That's OK. I use some that I like.
The combinations of gendered clothes is a real treat, to find what makes you feel non-binary, as opposed to androgynous.
It's not as complex as it is subtle, i think.
I don't view non-binary as a place between genders, but as a place that parallels that middle ground for binaries.
Subtle, yet complex, do to the cross overs that can and do occur.
We are not something in between.
We are people who have a separate identity from a binary spectrum.
We have our own spectrum that doesn't have ends (or destinations) to it.
Not the same, different. Despite the parallels.
It's those parallels that we share at times and they share with us.
Not an Us vs Them, simply Us and Them. Subtle, yet there.
It does matter, as the final result should be you.
Another thread here asks the question of why are we so special (something like that).
That it does matter, is why you are special. That final result. You are special.
