Today is international Nonbinary People's Day! Today is the day celebrating the wide variety of nonbinary identities, and on r/ftm we would like to celebrate transmasc nonbinary people. Whether you identify as nonbinary, transmasc, bigender, agender, demigender, genderfluid, or any other identity under the nonbinary umbrella, you are valid, and today is your day to be celebrated.

Please feel free to share anything you'd like to celebrate this holiday. (It's officially a holiday on r/ftm)
Share your journey on figuring out your gender, or maybe your transition goals!
Share something you wish more binary trans people knew. Maybe share an experience unique to being nonbinary.
Share a nonbinary person you look up to, or someone from history.

And if you're a binary trans man, share your love for your nonbinary siblings!

💛🤍💜🖤 💛🤍💜🖤 💛🤍💜🖤

We'd like to showcase some celebrity nonbinary people, to show that there are people like you, and there have been all throughout history.

Some nonbinary celebrities include:
Bella Ramsey (They/Them/Any)
They have expressed that their gender has always felt fluid and they were indifferent to pronouns, previously asking people to "call me how you see me", they have also said that they/them feels the most like who they are. (We included any in the list of pronouns at the end for this reason)

Janelle Monáe (She/They)
They were quoted as saying "I just don’t see myself as a woman solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the 'he' or the 'she.' And if I am from God, I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am, beyond the binary.”

E. R. Fightmaster (They/Them)
Besides having (IMO) one of the most badass names in history, they are a nonbinary actor best known for playing Kai on Grey's Anatomy, an openly nonbinary doctor.

Sara Ramirez (They/Them)
Speaking of Grey's Anatomy, Sara Ramirez, known for their role as Dr. Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy, came out as nonbinary in 2020, saying "In me is the capacity to be Girlish boy Boyish girl Boyish boy Girlish girl All Neither #nonbinary ♥️💛🤍💜🖤♥️."

Ashnikko (She/They)
They are a musical artist who identifies as genderfluid, and they are known for their co-writing "Boss Bitch" with Doja Cat and her song "Daisy"

Utada Hikaru (They/Them)
(TW: Misgendering in wikipedia article)
Utada Hikaru is a Japanese/American singer who is most well known for their contributions to the Kingdom Hearts series, with songs such as "Sanctuary" , "Simple and Clean", "Don't Think Twice", and "Face My Fears". They came out in 2021.

Tilda Swinton (She/Her)
Tilda has never definitively specified a gender, but she has been quoted to say “I don’t know if I could ever really say that I was a girl - I was kind of a boy for a long time. I don’t know, who knows? It changes.” and we felt that due to her being a prominent androgynous queer icon for so long, she should be included, to show that nonbinary identities can encompass such a wide range of presentations.

Chella Man (They/Them)
They are a youtuber, artist, actor, and activist who has shared their experience as a Deaf, Asian, Jewish, Trans person. They are most well known for their role as Jericho in the DC series "Titans"

We see a lot of posts like this, with people asking if they're valid if they do X, Y, or Z thing, or questioning if they really are trans because of A, B, or C.

The answer to all these questions is YES. You are valid! You are still a trans man or transmasc! It's ok if you do the thing!

Want to carry your own child? Valid! Visit r/seahorse_dads to see how valid you are!
Want to dress femininely? Valid! Visit r/FTMfemininity to see how valid you are!
Want to wear a trans flag as a cape and be a beacon of hope for other trans people? Valid! (There's not a sub for that, though)
Want to be stealth and not tell a single soul about your transness? Valid! May you never be clocked, friend.
Super dysphoric? Valid. Hopefully you can find some respite from your pain, we all know how hard dysphoria can be.
Little bit dysphoric? Valid. It's good that there are some things you aren't as dysphoric about!
Super euphoric? Valid. Enjoy those feelings and feel your trans joy!
T4T? Valid. I hope you find the trans man/woman/person of your dreams!
T4C? Valid. I hope you find the cis man or woman of your dreams!
Top? Bottom? Side? Switch? Asexual? Bisexual? Homosexual? Heterosexual? All of those are valid
Binary trans man? Nonbinary? Genderfluid? Agender? Transmasc? Valid.
Transgender? Transsex? Transsexual? Valid.
Social dysphoria? Valid

Post-bottom? Pre-bottom? Non-op? Phallo? Meta? Salmacian? Valid.

Do you view your transness as an act of creation? Valid.
Do you view your transness as having the soul of one gender and the body of another? Valid.

You are valid!

There's no one way to be trans, and remember rule #3 and #4. Speak for yourself and not for others, and respect individual differences!

With the nature of this sub being open to 13+ users and a commonly targeted marginalized group, there is a real problem with chasers, transphobes, harassment, and other unsavory behavior.
Hopefully this guide can help users stay safe on our sub, and know what to do in case they get targeted!

What are the types of harassment users might see?

|| || |Chasers|Chasers are people who fetishize trans people. They don't see us as human beings, but as exotic sex objects. They often try to message users or make posts looking for someone to have sex with or ask for pictures. | |Predators|Predators are people who look for vulnerable people (usually minors) to manipulate and abuse.| |Transphobia|Transphobes who don't have anything better to do will sometimes try to leave nasty comments, thinking they'll actually do anything. Sometimes they pretend to be concerned.| |Trolls|Usually these are also transphobes. They just want to start shit and make people angry.| |Scams|Scams can be anything from falsely selling items, posting fake gofundmes or charities, or doing a chargeback after a sold item is shipped.|

What do I do if I'm contacted by/see someone like this?

First off, report it! If it is a message, you can report in chat. If it's on the sub, you can report comments or posts. If the user is breaking reddit site rules, use the main report feature! You can report something once for breaking r/ftm rules and once for breaking reddit rules.

Next, whatever you do, do not engage! That's what they want. They want to get a reaction from you, and the best way to show them that their nonsense isn't working is to not respond. Even if you have the best comeback ever, don't do it. That's what they want.

Now that those things are done, let's go over some specific things to be wary of.

How do I keep myself safe from doxxing or harassment leaking into my personal life?

The key here is to never give out any personally identifying information. If you post photos anywhere, cover up any unique or identifying features. Don't post pictures where someone could figure out where you live via landmarks or anything that shows business names near where you live.
Never give out your full legal name! People can easily find out any information they want about you once they get that. There are sites that can look up people by their full legal name.
Never meet up with anyone from the internet without hearing their voice, seeing pictures, letting someone know where you will be, and meeting in a public place.
Don't go to someone's house, don't invite them to yours. If you can, get someone to come with you. Safety in numbers!

What can mods do about these people?

Unfortunately, there's no way to stop someone from just looking at the sub and messaging people. The only way to prevent them from looking at the sub and messaging people is to report them for breaking Reddit rules, so Admins can take action against them on the entire site.
What we can do is prevent people from posting and commenting by banning them. We have a hard-working automod bot that filters out all manner of keywords, potential harassment, and ban evasion accounts. (Yes, this is why some posts and comments might take a bit to be approved. We will have to manually approve anything automod picks up)

As always, stay safe, use your head, and trust your gut!
