Can you be non-binary and still present as femme ?
Another question, as asked by a friend of mine. The long and short of that is yes. See... Sexuality is a spectrum, it isn’t one particular thing. Like you can choose to be feminine and not identify with being a woman, necessarily. I mean there are plenty of men, or people who are certainly assigned male at birth, who display what could be called feminine attributes. I mean, realistically, your gender identity is yours to do with what you want, you own it. Or at least it should be, but society still has to catch up to that idea. So my answer, dear Stephanie (the questioner) you be who you want to be, and call yourself what you want. I will say that, if you are AFAB (assigned female at birth) and you identify as femme non-binary, there might be some arguing that you can’t be trans, as the word trans implies that there is a change takes place as it basically means ‘opposite’. So, like I’m trans-masculine AFAB non-binary (catchy, huh?) and the trans part just means that it is opposite to what I am, if you get me. However, and this is where the lines get a little blurry, if you can’t identify as trans, being femme non-binary, why is it that non-binary is contained under the trans umbrella of the LGBTQIA movement? Now there’s a question that’s just made my head hurt...
