Hello there all my genderqueer folk and non-binary pals!
I've been doing some thinking regarding which titles, terms and language I'd prefer to use for when I do come out as non-binary/queer to my friends and family.
I used this wiki as it contains quite a few alternatives. Some of these were easy (such as sibling) while others were difficult (aunt... uncle... eh what??).
Typical male / female terms | Non-binary terms |
---|---|
M / F | X or NB |
Male / Female | Enby |
Man / Woman | Enby or Adult |
Mr / Mrs | Mx |
He/him / She/her | They/them |
Brother / Sister | Sibling |
Uncle / Aunt (Auntie/Aunty) | Untie/Unty |
Nephew / Niece | Nieph |
Boyfriend / Girlfriend | Partner |
Fiancé / Fiancée | Betrothed |
Husband / Wife | Spouse |
As for deciding whether to go with X or NB, I'm not too sure. Here in Australia I'm allowed to change my gender & choose what I'd like on my legal documents (as long as it's not offensive) but am unsure of which would be more recognisable. It's still relatively new so I'm sure there will be confusion regardless of what I choose as it's not M / F.
What you think of the terms Untie and Nieph? I quite like them. I was aware of the terms pibling and nibling but I simply wasn't fond of them.
As for parental terms, that's not something I'll be doing in life so I'm of no help there! I'm sure the wiki I linked earlier will give you some ideas.
Thanks for reading, I'd love to hear what titles/terms you go by.
