You can wear pride gear for as long as you live. You can even wear a lot of it.
Wear it for the kid who thinks they're alone, or the adult who worries that it's too late. Wear it for those who have no choice but to hide.
If people "cringe," then cringe back at their desire to police joy. Cringe at how easily they forgot about those who died so that we could be seen in daylight. Cringe at their confidence in a safe and secure future.
Pride matters.
There's freedom in being nonbinary.
If you want to be a girl and a boy, then you can! You can just be you with no gender at all. Make a new word for yourself.
Any "rules" that may exist are flexible in the nonbinary world. Enjoy it.

You don't have to be consistently "feminine" or "masculine" in your appearance as a nonbinary person if you don't want to be. You don't have to engage with either at all.
Those categories are very subjective and flexible for us. Bend and mix them for your use. Invent something new.

Your gender, orientation, gender expression, etc. can all be connected for you. It's perfectly fine if they are so intimately linked that they are effectively all the same thing.
It's already complicated enough being nonbinary without having to artificially fragment yourself to make others comfortable.
You're nonbinary whether or not you've experienced trauma.
Your sense of self in terms of identifying as nonbinary is as accurate as any cis person's sense of gender.
You should be taken as seriously as any other person who has survived trauma.

While it can be difficult to find allies as a nonbinary person, but be sure to choose friends carefully nonetheless. There are many people out there ready to exploit any sort of weakness or desperation.
Remember that in every close relationship you deserve respect and love. Build your family from people who have earned the honor.

There's no need to ask permission or reach consensus with an arbitrary group of people in order to identify as nonbinary.
Claiming the nonbinary label is something that you do for yourself.
Ask yourself if it applies, because only your opinion matters.

Other queer and lgbtq people don't get to define your choice of labels just because you're nonbinary. They have the same power to take away your language as cishets, which is none.
You've chosen words to communicate who you are. It's up to others to listen to you.
The nonbinary people in history and the present that you look up to will not be perfect. But it's possible to acknowledge their short comings, and still need them as they are.
We need each other as people, not as perfect beings.
You shouldn't have to justify your feelings about your own pronouns.
You can use binary pronouns as a nonbinary person. It's also perfectly fine to welcome all pronouns. You can reject all pronouns, too. Your pronouns can shift at different times. It's completely fine to need a specific set. I can't even begin to cover all the possibilities in which your pronouns are acceptable.
Your pronoun situation is about you. So, make it work for you!
How you are nonbinary is as important as the fact that you are nonbinary.
Your choices about pronouns, presentation, or labels should be treated with respect. How you may or may not match the current "acceptable" stereotypes about nonbinary people is irrelevant.
You are an entire person and you deserve the dignity that should go along with that fact.
It can be easy to feel guilty for being nonbinary.
Others will have inevitably attached various hopes on you being either a woman or a man. Not being the sister, father, friend or whatever else your loved ones expected of you can be painful.
Being true to yourself must a higher priority. People will move in and out of your life, but you'll always have to face yourself. Do so with compassion and honesty.

Create what you need to create as a nonbinary person. The hangups of society censor you enough as it is without letting it into your mind as well.
We need what you make. The world needs your perspective.

Nonbinary people have always had a presence in the many other branches of the queer/lgbtq community.
There have always been nonbinary lesbians, gay people, trans people, asexuals, bisexuals, and so many more.
To disparage any of those groups is to speak ill of nonbinary people. To scorn nonbinary people is to also hold any of those groups in contempt.
To have one you must be willing to accept the other.
