Happy #nonbinaryawarenessweek! Not only is Duck Prints Press owned by a non-binary person (it me, Claire/Nina Waters/unforth, I'm agender!), we work with a number of non-binary creators. Read through this thread to meet 16 of us!

Non-binary terms more people should be aware of:

enby = short for "non-binary", also used as a noun, so you might say "I'm an enby" instead of "I'm a non-binary person".

joyfriend = a gender-neutral alternative to "boyfriend/girlfriend".

achillean = someone (a man or enby) who is attracted to men and masculine non-binary people.

sapphic = someone (a woman or enby) who is attracted to women and feminine non-binary people.

enbian = a non-binary person who is attracted to non-binary people.

#NonBinaryAwarenessWeek #LGBTQIA

A quick and easy way to alienate your non-binary readers: unnecessarily reinforcing the westernised gender binary.

"Everyone – men and women..."

"Men and women alike..."

"Female voice" "Male voice"

"Men, women, boys, girls, all of them..."

"Opposite sex/gender..."

#Writing #NonBinaryAwarenessWeek

Definition: non-binary

A person whose gender does not entirely fit into the binary categories of gender (man or woman) in modern western society. Someone who does not identify as being solely and completely a man or woman.

Used as an umbrella term for all people outside of the binary gender identities, as well as a gender identity itself.

Some gender identities that fall under the non-binary umbrella: agender, androgyne, bigender, demigender, genderfluid, genderflux, neutrois, polygender.

feel free to share the previous post in this thread around if you know any podcasts, authors, or video game developers who need voice actors/narrators. it's not always easy finding gigs as a nonbinary VA so any little boosting helps

Just in time for #NonBinary Awareness Week, my new copy of Proud Pink Sky by nonbinary author @redfern arrived in the mail today. My wife and I read it late last year from the library and decided it was a book we wanted to own to reread. If you have an interest in alternate history (particularly of the #queer variety), check it out yourself! The hobby linguist in me also enjoyed picking up the argot scattered through it.
