My facebook profile picture is a couple filters over a pic of me 9 years ago....   One of the filters is a non-binary flag... the other is just a filter with 'We will not let hate win' and its a rainbow colored... monitor?  Like the line you'd find on a heart monitor... That make sense?

With all the hubbub of people saying non-binary identities are invalid, and often feeling like it at home (Husband still uses she pronouns and it drives me crazy) I was surprised to find in one of my facebook groups, one about feeding tubes, someone INSTANTLY recognized what my profile picture was.  I felt SOOOOOOOO validated! Especially since they said it is awesome. (I later found out they are agender and pansexual, so they understood because of that...)

In some ways, I feel so stupid that someone recognized it and I'm this happy, but at the same time, it made me freakishly proud to be non-binary. (Which often is hard to be for me...)

"Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?"
- Bon Jovi "We weren't Born to follow"

I am done crying over not being feminine.
I am done griping about being too masculine.
I will be me.
And that's a non-binary being.
I am... ME!

This... is MY story
The story of a girl trapped in a guy's body.
A boy trapped in a girl's body.
No.  Its the story of a... human being.
- From one of my poems
