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.

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.

Es war ein ziemlicher Weg bis zu der Erkenntnis, aber durch meine nichtbinäre Identität kann ich endlich mehr herausfinden, wer ich wirklich bin.
