 ⚧ That's one symbol missing from the above picture. I find it ironic as the short poem I'm sharing, my first post for Rainbow Snippets, is about nonbinary gender and my "gender symbols" picture is missing any of the symbols that nonbinary people use for themselves. I'm still reeling from something transphobic someone said in my name. This poem came from my feelings about that.
---- My genderqueer friend--hir gender isn't a role Ze is genderqueer at hir core--gender assignment doesn't asked the assigned It's not for me-cisgender- to understand--just for me to respect Enby exist--just for me to respect I once thought just men and women existed--this isn't about me Cores are to be respected--nonbinary ---- And just so you know :D if you click on Rainbow Snippets above or on this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/RainbowSnippets/ , you'll go to the public group on Facebook where you can find more links to more LGBTQIA+/queer fiction and book reviews.

Thanks for the comment, Debbie. You know, I listened to a cisgender woman who's a self-proclaimed ally stumble over "birth gender" and "assigned gender" etc tonight and I wanted to shake her or at least yell that line at her 1/5/2017 11:09:01 pm
aw thanks, A.M. You know, i went back and forth on this poem and then the apology I ended up posting on my Facebook author page. But I really hate the idea of any trans/enby people being subjected to the crappy transphobic tagline that former friend wrote for me
