When I came out I opted never to tell anyone about being neutrois because I’ve never been motivated enough to educate everyone about non-binary stuff (I’m out to some as acearo). I joined my uni’s lgbt club and was able to adopt a gender-neutral name and they/them pronouns for the first time. I was able to talk about my gender/orientation and queer issues without worrying about any -phobias or having to educate people. I didn’t realise how much I wanted to hear my proper name and pronouns until it happened. We even marched in a historically huge pride parade. Unfortunately, once the competent leader stepped down the rest proved to be performative, incompetent and ableist towards me, so I bailed at the beginning of quarantine. Still, it made me realise that there are queer communities accessible to me. Hopefully the next one is better. (Neutrosis/26/Asexual aromantic)

When I came out it was in an introductary uni class. We were all supposed to have a fun fact about ourselves and it was all I could think of. There was zero reaction aside from a guy directly behind me who went “huh”. (Neutrosis/nonbinary/24/Asexual aromantic)
