Any advice for coming out as genderfluid to people who it would be a total and unexpected shock to, even if they're 99.9999% likely to be accepting of it? I feel like I would be a bit embarrassed and feel awkward if I shook up their whole image of who I am as a person, but hey, it's gotta come out sometime. Sorry if that didn't make any sense the way I worded it. I do hope it made sense, though.

Now that I've started wearing earrings, I've come to understood that I like them big. The good thing is that big ones also suit me. I've got volume (long hair, beard, body size) so the big ones are nicely proportionate to me.

I attended a student seminar last week and many of the female presenters had earrings. They looked so small! I realized that the big ones aren't the standard but who cares. I'm not standard in any way!

A colleague I hadn't told I'm non-binary complimented my look and used the equivalent of "dude". I casually said that I'm not a dude. He took it very well, said that it's good to know and proceeded to ask what would be a good term. As I was wondering out loud, he continued with "or maybe you just are yourself". Not only was this exchange super positive, it was the first time I told this to someone without feeling nervous.

X is happening! For me. On my birth certificate. Henceforth I will be officially a vreer with gender unknown or irrelevant, a.k.a. X

We had a short meeting with tutor student representatives about scheduling the beginning of the fall term for the new students. As I've decided I'll come out as non-binary to all the new students and the remaining colleagues in the first meeting of the fall, I thought it's better that the tutor students know this beforehand. So I told this to the representatives. One of them seemed to get sparks in her eyes. I take this as a good sign.

A colleague came to my office with some cake and a question whether I have nail polish here she can borrow for one occasion. I did, two in fact. She chose the silver one and came back showing the black-and-silver dress she's going to wear. I love these new types of interaction unlocked by understanding I'm non-binary.

Now that I'm out as my true non-binary self, wearing dangling earrings, the lovely long cardigan etc. I've sensed a change in the way certain colleagues talk with me. I mean that they use more cutesy language, comment on my outfits and so on. Seems that the conversations linger more on the feminine side than what I've been used to from the times when I thought I'm a guy. I feel at home in this environment and wholeheartedly welcome this change!

So hab mich bei meiner Großmutter als nichtbinär geoutet und sie hat das ziemlich gut hingenommen. Anscheinend hat sie was darüber im Fernsehen gesehen und hat direkt gefragt ob ich Neopronomen nutzen möchte.

Auch wenn die Oma manchmal ein etwas altbackenes Wortschatz benutzt (sie ist 83), meint sie es nicht böse und ist meist eher tolerant eingestellt.
