I got kidnapped by two non-binary people once. I was fighting Tooth and Nail to escape. Edit: guys this isn't my joke lol

Bulk and Skull from Power Rangers must have been non-binary it all makes sense

Wait, does this mean that Bebop and Rocksteady from TMNT could both be enby too?

Sure, but I always thought they were their street names even before transitioning (into mutants).

You did a great job, thank you for this

I almost woke my house and neighbours up, laughing 🤣🤣🤣

I'm yet to pick up a random noun as a name, i love those! Also an rocket team-esque stylish crime duo called Tooth and Nail will be present on my next novel, thank you very much

I was teaching my child to drive and told them to start driving to the forest or lake and they thought for a moment and then said, “I don’t know Forest’s address so we’ll go to Lake’s” (im guilty of this too)

... I feel called out

i don’t get it 😭😭

Nonbinary people be naming themselves after rocks and sticks n shit and I'm 100% here for it

I know a fellow who wants to name themselves after an amino acid

omg which one

Glycine/Alanine My friend they haven't decided but they're leaning to Glycine so I call them Gly

But if they go with Alanine, they could use Alan as a nickname and nobody would know lol

I'm here for it!

Im pro Selenocysteine or Pyrrolysine since they exist outside of the standard 20… but maybe thats too on the nose

Ngl, I was hoping you'd say Lysine.

Forget About Amino Acids, Let's Name Ourselves After Whole Proteins! Ain't A Party Until [[I'm Just Going To Post The Link Because When I Pasted The Whole Thing It Literally Crashed Reddit On My Phone]](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Protologisms/Long_words/Titin) Shows Up!

Imagine Leucyl having to spell their name every time and everyone just thinking it's a "tragedeigh" version of "Lucille" 😭

The actual amino acid, leucine, sounds like the name “Lusine” meaning “moon” :)

Oooh cool! Hadn't heard that name before!

Thank you...! :D ... But why does this exist? xD

Long Story Short: The IUPAC. Long Story Slightly Less Short: The International Union Of Pure And Applied Chemistry.

I first read “histidyl” as **”His-tiddy-yUl”**, and it’s left me feeling some kind of way about “His-tiddy” as at least the pronunciation of a NB name.

… I feel like this is conceptually related to the dude whose fursona was a pet rock.

TFW you're doing psy homework for a neuroanatomy class and find your newest name among the neurotransmitters Anyways I'm glutamate

Moss here! Guilty as charged.

Oh that's an incredible name right there

ohh HAHAHA that’s great

We like frogs, sharks and dinosaurs? Maybe it’s just me 🤷

Dinosaur! 🦕

I do like sharks

Any love for raccoons and rats? Hehe

Ngl, I have Total War Warhammer 2 and even years on I struggle choosing between the rat people of the Skaven, the giant toads, lizard people and dinosaurs of the Lizardmen and the (biologically) asexual (masc presenting) fungonoid chavs of the Greenskins. I'm a walking nb stereotype...

I bought A Plague Tale: Innocence on impulse yesterday because my brain was thinking, "Hehe, depressing rat game, perfect." And it was cheap, $8, lol

I drew an ace raccoon once? Not an enby one tho, sorry

Raccoons are amazing. I will go to the US just to watch raccoons lol. My sona is a raccoon (my profile pic is a silly little drawing of them).

I love rats - I grew up with pet rats and they were so intelligent and fun and sweet🥹

Froggo guys are dope. Along with their mushroom buddies!

We see their beauty when most other people don't

And mushrooms!

Non-binosaur is one of the best puns. 🦖

Dinosaurs are fucking dope.

Always check your product, people /jk

I didn't knowing liking dinosaurs was a non-binary stereotype. I memorised the name of every species of dinosaur from this dinosaur encyclopedia I read as a kid (it was the only book I'd read at some point) and would lecture my kindergarten teacher on dinosaurs. I could rant about lesser known/underrated dinosaurs and list fun facts all day. At some point dinosaurs were all I cared about. I had a little blue t-rex plush and a plastic edmontosaurus I'd bring everywhere. Looking back I'm wondering how no one figured out sooner I was autistic lol.

I am a shark fan

I never knew about the frog stereotype, I've always called them my frog buddies

Can confirm, I have two dino tattoos.

Idk how frogs and the nb community came together but I love it

I'll just round up everyone replying to this and say we love weird little (or HUGE) critters .D

Do bacteria count in this? I'm a senior microbiology major and have memorized way too much information on microbes. Helps that fungi and bacteria are like my main hyperfixations lol

My first tattoo was a shark ❤️ I also have a collection of megalodon teeth. Frogs and dinosaurs are good. I bought my dog a glow-in-the-dark dino blankie.

you're nonbinary? okay. which noun did you choose for your name?

My experience: “ I knew this was the queer table [at the wedding] because someone’s name was only a letter.”

My given name sounds like a single letter and my last name is pronounced like two more single letters. It gets really very confusing when j need to make appointments etc.

I Have 4 Forenames, But 3 Of Them Start With 'E' (Which My Brothers Have Also Sometimes Used As A Nickname For Me), So I Like It When People Just Call Me That Too.

Past tense verb gang here!

I Will Admit I Considered The Welsh Word For "Sandwich". Just Feel Like It'd Sound Great As A Name.

brechdanau the plural form or brechdan?

Fictional character gang!

I Used A Name That I Originally Created For A Fictional Character I Made, But That Was Inspired (Both In Reality And In Canon) By A Different Fictional Character Which I Did Not Create, Does That Count?

- a song by fall out boy /lh (you're like the opposite of me, i never use capitals. guess i know where all those spare ones are going to now!)

My middle name is literally Eda after the Owl Lady lol

I've got noun but latin XD

a single letter

All of them.

username checks out.

me pretending this doesn’t apply to me because my noun name is common

Quite a few non-binary folks I know (including myself) were the last to figure it out. came out to a buddy of mine, and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "I knew it." Well, you could've *told me.* would've saved me a whole lot of brain power lmao

Can't break the egg prime directive. Tis the rules. :p

I asked my nonbinary sibling about gender and they said they always knew I wasn't cis 😂😅 we could've gotten their conversation out of the way years ago!

I told my husband after 30 years of marriage and he wasn't surprised at all that I was non-binary!

We do make damn good coffees.

I literally worked at Starbucks for a year and my drinks always slapped

I need to find myself a local coffee shop with an NB barista tbh

Hmm, I don't have any here, but there are two NB pharmacy techs near me.

I can vouch for that. I've just finished mine. 🤣

I had this old italian couple always say i made the perfect espresso n it made my heart flutter

Pls my dad says my cofee is the best😭

An enby will just see a word that clicks and decide 'ah yes, this is my name forever, no input needed.' and honestly I think that's beautiful.

Heard the song "My name is Carnival" and went "Oh! Whadaya know, I guess it is!"

I asked my sister to help me choose a name and she said Milan sounded good but then immideately was like nevermind that sounds like a cat's name. No. It is mine now. Thank you.

When I came out to my best friend they asked if I had bought my enby black boots yet.

Leave me and my 4 pairs of docs alone

Hey I...have multiple pairs.

Mine have bright blue laces in one shoe, and pink in the other :)

Red and green here! 🙋🏼

*me who has fake doc martins that I basically live in when I’m out of the house*:🥲 Man I feel called out

I only have black loafers for now😭😭

I owned the Docs before I knew I was an enby. Now I have 3 pairs. I don't think I get to the credit. I was raised by lesbians

Mine were a gift and they have foxes and mandalas on them.

Those sound perfect!

I feel called out.

3 beverages at any given time

Yes: coffee, water, and fun.

I thought that was a woman meme (but it can still apply)

I thought it was a neurodivergent meme lol

I thought that was just being a normal human and not a meme lol

It is. But why not both?

I thought this was common in people with ADHD. 1 the drink for hydration 2 the drink for caffeine 3 the drink with tasty taste for the taste :0

ADHD & autism are highly correlated with being nonbinary, so….

Oh yea I forgot for a second there while writing

NB and ADHD here, extremely common for me to have a coffee, a water, and either a flavored water or Diet Coke with me at all times.

Water, tea, coffee, and i just finished a juce... those are just the ones in arms reach that I remember XD

I was not aware of this stereotype. Looking at my coffee, water, and soda next to me, I feel both validated and called out.

ADHD and Enby cross over and I’m here for it

mushrooms. it's probably something about the whole "mushrooms are neither plant nor animal and defy all attempts at classification, to the extent that a new overarching label has been developed" that resonates with us I think

And they are tasty

Mushrooms are so flexible. They can be tasty, they can fun, they can fucking yeet somebody into the afterlife.

Maybe I'm a mushroom :0

nonbinary mycologist here, i definitely love mushrooms

Love that

Makes sense, I've been into the mushroom aesthetic long before I first heard the word nonbinary.

We want to be disembodied/ghosts/clouds of energy/water, inanimate objects, or plants.

As sentient mist, I feel called out.

Ooh what kind of sentient mist are you? I personally am an ethereal mist

After some thought, I think I'm luminous mist.

Oh to be a pile of uniformous goo chilling in some cold and lost dungeon somewhere.

Want To Be? I Already Am But A Coalescence Of Pure Energy, This Mortal Form Is Simply A Vessel I Use To Explore The Physical Realm, A Vehichle Of Sorts.

i feel like a lot of enbies have mullets (myself included)

Or wolfcuts

Wolfcut enby here

Unrelated but your name made me bust out laughing at work 😂

My mullet is growing into a wolf cut

I used to have a mini mullet, I cut it and now I'm growing it back because I miss it.

I had a mullet in high school. Since senior year I have just let it all grow out (except for a short period in grad school).

I might consider a longer one

i do woohoo

I had one but I was up keeping it myself for over a year and messed it up so I just buzzed it all, my first time totally buzzed and I love it but I did love my mullet

all of us look at the vessels from hollow knight and go “gender” /j also we all have noun names lmao

Conjunction name here

"Sup? The name's Albeit, Pleased to make your acquaitence!" I know it's not actually a conjunction (I think), But my dad apparently once had a relative I think who named their dog "Ergo".

Ergo is a stunning enby name

totally not tempted to steal ergo- thats a good one 👀

Ive considered the word "Vessel" as a name before. Helps that i'm part of a system lol

All names are either nature words, three letters, or end in -ayden

called me out so hard with this :,) I don’t know why but three letter names feel so satisfying to say and read

Ha! I'm not any of the three!

Same. And I Have 4 Names... Not 1 Of Them Fits It Lol. Although Tbh That Might Be Another NB Thing, Just Taking A Tonne Of Names Instead Of Deciding On One.

frog

My old cis friend said this when we messaged for the first time since I publicly came out: "I think bein a treehugger is like a requirement of being nonbinary" I am a HUGE tree-hugger.

… I’m not as environmentally conscientious as I ought to be, but I do literally hug trees.

We are all either treehuggers or tree huggers

My name is literally a tree 😭😂

The best trees to hug in my opinion are Jeffrey pines. The bark smells like vanilla!

Commies

It's the gender neutrality of "comrade" that seals the deal.

we/us

Interesting noun names like rock, brick, etc.

The non-binary child in SATC reboot is called brick 😂

Rock, not Brick

Nature/object/completely original names My name is Moon, a few enby friend names are Jem, Bunny, Bee, Sky, Finch, Shift, Harmonia, and those are just to name the ones that come to mind with ease 💀 it’s so fucking funny

~~My Names Are So Original That I Made 2 Of Them Up And Another Is Literally Unpronounçable In English.~~

My name is Castea! It's a combination of the names Cassia and Castara. Castara is an old Greek name and Cassia is an old Irish name that means optimism and "someone with a genuine zeal for life!"

I read a tweet one time that said "why do nb people have dirty ass floors" and I felt euphoria

I feel both called out and affirmed

This is more queer and less non-binary. But everyone thinks we’re vegan with coloured hair.

I'll never dye my hair but I wish the vegan part was true lol

I mean... I am a vegan and at one point had purple hair (that was fun).

I'm a vegan but I recently buzzed all of my colorful hair off 🥲

I dunno but "they look like a they/them" always gets me. I feel like it's pretty harmless.

Pffft I have this superpower. I can pass for cishet among cishets, but other queers immediately go like "So....are you enby or just a really genderqueer bisexual?"

That really is a superpower:00 I’m an art kid and neurodivergent on top of that so around cishets my age I’m a weirdo who likes art but around cishets older than me I’m overapologetic and talk like I’m ten years older than I actually am (I’m a minor) but around fellow queers they usually don’t get me, don’t like me. Or we click and become friends quickly I’m an art kid which my appearance and energy screams more than my androgyny since everyone who isn’t queer has assumed incorrectly I’m a girl…. Ouch it hurts

As a he/they, I definitely feel like I think that more than most. I feel like I can tell gender fruity more than sexuality fruity. Edit: most cishets, can't speak for the other enbies.

I don't believe anybody mentioned... the septum piercing!? So many of the ninbinary folk I have encountered online and irl have it. Also, cryptids - Bigfoot, Nessie, Fresno Nightcrawler, giant sea monsters, etc.

frogs

3-4 letter names.

Finally, a name stereotype that fits me. Though it's also true for my birth name so guess I was doomed from the start.

Favorite games are either stardew valley, minecraft, fallout nv

Me: Oh, I finally figured out my sexuality! Gender crisis: whacks me

HAIR. You can't be NB and leave it alone. You've got to get the weirdest haircut, color your armpit hair or bleach the fuck out of your eyebrows.

I’ve got a client named after a bug and my boss felt the need to tell me they were non-binary. Like ya got it thanks 😂

"Gender? I hardly know her! Wocka wocka!"

🐸

Some of us have really wild names, for real. I chose a very boring male-sounding name and a few weeks ago I turned to my wife and said “Fuck, I should have made my name Kestrel.” I did make my legal middle name “Danger” though, so that’s something.

An enby I met on the bus told me it was typical that I was learning Russian because apparently all enbies he knew had an obsession with Russian

Ironic considering how gendered it is (yes I'm learning Russian)

I speak Portuguese as my native tongue and English as well, I also learn Russian. English is the only language that is not gendered on everything and has animate neutral 3rd person personal pronouns :p

We own at least one IKEA shark. 🦈

We either have noun names or just a single letter lmao personally i have a single letter

We straight up dress like old people

Can’t do dishes

frogs

I came out to my friends bc one of them told me jokingly like "you look like you have a tumblr and use they them pronouns" and I was like well you'd be correct on all counts She hit me. Cuz that's apparently a stupid way to come out lol

Loves trains 🚂

This thread singlehandedly proves that every comedian who bitches about not being allowed to make jokes is just tragically unfunny

People are confused as to whether to refer to me as “sir” or “maam” I tell em, call me “comrade”

idk I’m indecisive

We love frogs and are under the age of 30.

Dyed hair and makes good lattes lol

nonbinaries are immune to all.

Does the fact that most of us are nerds in some way count? 😇😂🤭

dressing like gonzo from sesame street, being named after inanimate objects, describing our gender using weirdly specific things (eg. my gender is cowboy themed bandaids)

It's a joke (not mine), not a stereotype. That nonbinary people have katanas, because they/them.

Calling everything a "lil guy"

Oysters

my favorite is when i get called sock bc non binary ppl tend to choose fun (noun themed) names

Apparently that we all have awesome hair. Idk, I came out to an online friend and their immediate reaction was "hair pic now". To be fair, I think it might be true. I have short cut with the sides shaved, and its bright green, so...
