    When I came out to my parents as non-binary six years ago, I struggled to find resources aimed at parents of adults - almost all of them were aimed at parents of teens. I was in my 40s at the time, so these resources weren't going to work for them.

    I pulled together some advice based on my own experiences, and the most useful and applicable resources I could find, and put that info together into a post (and it's now a zine, too!).

  3. I think it's probably possible we'll reach 8,000 responses by midnight tonight UK time, but it's going to be close. It's about 7,500 now.

    Are you nonbinary or similarish? Want to do a very quick survey about names? :)

  7. went out in a sundress and neck fan to water the plants (and ants), a Just Eat Delivery guy was startled, or just envious of my neckfan.
    What kind of monster orders takeaway on an afternoon like this though?
    There is a boy on the ground below these flats kicking a ball around, he's mostly in the shade, but still....
    .....is he Homo Clima , born into a Climate Crisis world?

    I can't remember when I read it but one of my favorite "banned books" is Gender Queer, a graphic novel by Maia Kobabe.

    Apparently there's an annotated version out now. I should re-read it. 😊

  13. Day 9 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: Non-binary people have been with us forever, just under different names. The concept of people who don’t fit traditional cultural norms of male or female has been around since the dawn of culture.

    While the term “non-binary” is modern, it serves as an umbrella for identities like agender, gender-neutral, bigender, genderfluid, and genderqueer. Acceptance leans generational, but when any generation approaches the topic with a willingness to learn, understanding grows.

  15. I used graphs to compare how autigender performed in the Gender Census compared to other identity terms.

    I also examined the terms autigender respondents were most likely to select in the survey.

  21. Between 2013 and 2015, the umbrella term preferred by a majority of people with a gender outside the binary appears to have changed from genderqueer to nonbinary.

    Whether you believe that’s true depends on how much you trust the results of the pilot Gender Census from 2013.

  27. Let’s talk about my fictional character Aaron and why I hate the name Aaron

    In the third story of my Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories series, Jonah of Olympic, there is a character named Aaron. He’s not a large role, but an important one. He helps move the plot along. And sometimes smaller roles are good for that, I find. It sort of makes them unsuspecting or as if they just can’t help but center themselves in a story that’s not about them. We’ve all met one of those folks.

    But the character is fascinating to me for a number of reasons, one reason in particular is extra interesting to me personally, and it’s something I hadn’t talked about yet and I’m not sure if readers have picked up on it — though I’m not sure how some could have. But to this end, let’s talk about Aaron…

    Aaron, the character

    In Jonah of Olympic there is a church called Holy Ghost Fire Temple, and Aaron is a young man who is a member of this church. The church leadership hierarchy has an evangelist at the top, and then his right-hand men, the apostles, right below him. Aaron manages a motel in the small town and is zealous and eager for the preacher’s affections. He wants to be an apostle and be counted among the most faithful.

    Several readers have confided in me that he is the type of character they’ve known before, especially those of us who used to be or maybe still are in a Christian church. There’s always those young men that are way too zealous and desperately trying to rise through the ranks and always looking for affirmation from church leaders who they adore with way too much adoration. This is who Aaron is.

    I try to avoid saying who a character is in terms of good or bad, or what have you, when it’s a character I wrote, because readers may differ on that and it’s fine. What I will say, is I don’t necessarily view him or people like him as bad people, but they can be dangerous if things don’t quite go the way their faith leads them to believe it should. Their faith is super strong, but to a fault in that it blinds them to reason, and that can be dangerous.

    In the story, Aaron is a chosen name by himself. We never learn his previous name. All the members who join the church have to pick a biblical name as they begin their new lives. Aaron is the brother of Moses in the bible. He is regarded as a good public speaker whom God suggests Moses use when he tells God he’s no good at public speaking while standing before the burning bush. My character choosing Aaron as his new name is a projection of his ambitions — he wants to rise through the ranks and stand at the side of their church leader, the preacher, and be his voice — just as Aaron was a voice for Moses.

    Aaron was a fascinating character to write. And diving into him each time I got to write him was a fun exercise in psychology and spirituality.

    But, there’s something else about Aaron that’s interesting to me and I may have subconsciously explored him in ways I’m not even sure of yet.

    I hate the name Aaron

    My middle name is Aaron. I seldom use the name or mention this fact, because it’s always bugged me ever since I was a kid. I appreciated the meaning of the choice, my parents naming me after Aaron of the bible. But there was just always something off-putting to me about that name. To this day, I’m not sure what it is for sure. But when I look at that name, I do not see my name. I see something else and it bugs me that it’s supposedly my name. So I’ve mostly learned to ignore the existence of Aaron between my first and last names.

    I do recall vague memories of looking at the name when I was first learning to spell it and just being so annoyed by how it looked on paper in my sloppy kid’s handwriting. The two As back-to-back also annoyed me. I recall thinking about how the name verbally was a name that could be either masculine or feminine, but on paper with those two As, it was clearly masculine. And I do remember that bugging me. I can’t say why, though it may have been an early indication of me being genderqueer. The fact the name is gender neutral audibly, but when you spell it Aaron on paper it is indisputably masculine. Erin, of course, being the feminine spelling. And my spelling of the name was the masculine variant — Aaron.

    It’s so fascinating to think about how annoyed I was seeing that name when I wrote it down the first few times. I was instantly appalled by it. And as a kid, the only thing that tended to appall me instantly was seeing injustice. Like, when some kids bullied another kid. That was the quickest way to piss me off as a kid.

    But writing Aaron on paper for the first time, and knowing it was my name, that pissed me off so hard.

    But what does this have to do with my fictional character Aaron? I don’t know. When I was writing the character, I wasn’t focused on the name being my middle name. You have to keep in mind, when I write that name it doesn’t even register as my name. I was focused on writing an interesting character who saw himself as the potential metaphorical brother of Moses. A gifted speaker and leader alongside his spiritual leader who he adored. I wasn’t thinking about myself at all while writing the character.

    Now though? Now I’m wondering. Was I subconsciously getting some deep-rooted feelings off my chest about the name Aaron? It looks like I’m going to have to re-read my own story and decipher the hell out of that character, because I may have been writing about myself, too.

    Conclusion

    I don’t think I’ve ever talked this much about my feelings about the name Aaron with anyone. So this is like therapy in the open. It’s also worth noting that I only hate the name Aaron as it pertains to me. If your name is Aaron, that’s ok, I forgive you. I mean, it doesn’t bother me. It’s just this notion that the name is mine when it really doesn’t feel right at all.

    If you’ve read Jonah of Olympic, what did you think of Aaron? Give me your literary critique of Aaron, the character, in the comments. If you’ve not read the book yet, you can find it on the publications page.

    What about you? Do you have a middle name that irks you? Do you love your middle name? What do you think my kid brain was doing when it saw the name Aaron on paper? Sound off.
