  • maryw commented on the word enbie

    Being nonbinary can feel like being a wisp around the edge of heteronormativity. We are ghosts, Sure, we're being recognized more and more—we're even on TV! But, we're still on the edge; <b>enbies</b>¹ are seen as fringe and outsie the mainstreem. This is a blessing and a curse.

    1. From Tumblr: <b>enbies</b> - NBs - "nonbinaries" or nonbinary people.
