Yesterday, the hashtag #IAmNonBinary began trending on Twitter. It gave the opportunity to non-binary people all over the internet shared how diverse, unique, and proud they are.
In addition to the thousands of people that shared their individual stories, organizations such as GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign took the opportunity to educate people on the realities of being non-binary.

While this may be Monáe coming out on her terms, the tweet may just be a show of support for her non-binary fans. Monáe hasn’t clarified any further or made any other tweets on the topic since.

For me, learning about non binary identities is what finally gave me peace amidst all the confusion and stress about who I am and where I belong in the human spectrum. I am here, I am happy, and I am valid. #IAmNonbinary pic.twitter.com/5YqNZOtsji

Hey there.
I’m Brandon, and #IAmNonbinary. (he/him|they/them)
I observe the supercollision of alternate realities for a living (meaning I write poetry, science fiction & fantasy, and RPGs).
I’m still figuring this body out, but this fits me fine.
Have a lovely day, folx!✨ pic.twitter.com/6ocGsBss07
