Gerard Way and Miley Cyrus: Non-Binary, WTF is it???

"I have always identified a fair amount with the female gender..... Masculinity to me has always made me feel like it wasn't right for me." -Gerard Way (he/him or they/their) 

“I didn’t want to be a boy, ... I kind of wanted to be nothing. I don’t relate to what people would say defines a girl or a boy, and I think that’s what I had to understand: Being a girl isn’t what I hate, it’s the box that I get put into.” -Miley Cyrus (no preference, she/her) 

I love My Chemical Romance, I love Gerard Way, I am such Way Brothers trash, Mikey and 
Gerard are people I love and are inspired by. When I heard about Gerard and his quote, and how he identifies I was inspired. He was in a band that has a lot of fans in the LGBT+ community who were saved by his music. Im not nonbinary but as someone who is part of the LGBT+ community, I was inspired. With his statement, he showed ypu can be a feminine man or a masculine woman. 

As I child I watched Hannah Montana and loved Miley. Even as she grew up and twerked on stage, she inspired me. I dont always agree with what she did, but she was never afraid he be herself. She was bold and didnt care what anybody thought, and when she launched her Happy Hippie campaign and came out as nonbinary. Again she inspired me to be myself. .

Okay so what is nonbinary? 
"Nonbinary gender is an umbrella term covering any gender identity that doesn't fit within the gender binary. The label may also be used by individuals wishing to identify as falling outside of the gender binary without being any more specific about the nature of their gender."(nonbinary.org) In simple terms, if you are nonbinary your sex and gender do not always align. You can even identify that you have no gender, youre gender neutral. Nonbinary means you feel both, male and female, or even neither, no matter you biological sex. 

I didnt know a lot about what nonbinary is, and its confusing and Miley got a lot of publicity for it. Many people dont see how you cannot identify in alignment with your biological sex. many Cisgender people say that nonbinary people just dont fully understand who they are. To the Cis people who are also homophobic people, go screw yourselves. Nonbinary, bisexual, asexual and pansexual are, in my opinion, the most unbelieved of the sexualities of this world. To people who come out (I really hate that term but that is another post) as Nonbinary- YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU ARE AWESOME! GO YOU! You have the bravery to accept who you are even though most people dont fully understand you and who you are. And now to people who have friends who come out as nonbinary accept them people! Theyre just like us they just dont fit in to nice neat society made boxes. No one should fit into nice neat society boxes, there shouldnt even be nice nead society made boxes- thats just some bulls@#t! Talk to them, learn about it, Before this post I knew very little about what nonbinary was, I still dont know everything so please, if you are nonbinary and I got something wrong, please comment and let me know. You go Nonbinary Folks.

With Love
