"as a nonbinary"
Not too long after I came out as nonbinary to T, he gifted me a nonbinary flag. I brought it to my office and hung it there, where occasionally it would elicit a question from a coworker.
It's the only consistently visible way in which I'm nonbinary, and now nobody has seen it in a year, except the cleaning staff who presumably continue to clean my ( Read more... )

But, you know, as I told you a couple of times before, I think , you got a pretty conservative culture there overseas.
Overseas has a firm and narrow image for male and female, and everyone who doesn't suit this mainframe, they tend to look at with eyes as big as a fish.
For nothing.And you know what? This is utter bullshit. This is fucking narrow-minded bullshit. If someone doesn't like something in particular, although they expect a male or female to like it - what's so difficult in accepting this, or at least calculating with the possibility of that? Who actually cares? They always talk a lot about indiviudality, but if you don't conform to a cultural/commercial uniform, then suddenly it's "no individualism allowed" anymore?

As far as I can extract it from what you mean here, it definitely doesn't suit what "dysphoria" is like, in my opinion. It's not the right word.
"Dysphoria" more is like... something that's not supposed to happen (according to your brain and mind), but happens even though because the material and/or physical circumstances are given.
In your life situation, it would maybe be... like if someone told you "you're the father of this child here".
You'd be like "Wait, WHAT?! How can I have made a baby?! I never slept with any woman!". It's maybe not that you'd feel like an alien in the role of a father, or continue to feel so for the rest of your days, but there could never be a child around with your genes in it because you never did what's necessary for that. This would make you feel like "Damnit, what kind of wrong movie I've stepped into here? Am I dreaming - and why can't I wake up?".
A paradox, so to say ( ... )
