proudnb<p>It’s ok to be scared about the idea of being nonbinary if you’re questioning. </p><p>Growth and change are often scary, especially when dealing with labels considered “controversial” by many. There’s nothing inherently wrong with being afraid.</p><p>Just remember that there are many of us who have been where you are now, and many can help you find your courage.</p><p>You are not alone.</p><p><a href="https://todon.nl/tags/NonBinaryPositivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinaryPositivity</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nonbinary</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/questioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>questioning</span></a></p>

proudnb<p>Don't worry about how long it took for you to learn that you're nonbinary.</p><p>There are countless reasons beyond your control that can slow your progress, making you question your gender for years (if you wonder at all).</p><p>The important thing is that you overcame those obstacles to get here. </p><p><a href="https://todon.nl/tags/NonBinaryPositivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinaryPositivity</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nonbinary</span></a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/questioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>questioning</span></a></p>

Una<p>If your sexuality or gender identity constantly changes, that doesn't mean it's choice and that you weren't born that way it's just means you are discovering yourself and all those past identities were like small train stations towards big station where your destination is. Take time and love yourself. Your identity is a journey and be open to possible changes in life even if you think you know who you are. :BlobhajPrideHeart: :BlobhajTransPrideHeart:</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a>+ <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/questioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>questioning</span></a></p>

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/chamfort-nicolas/74995/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Chamfort</b></a></p><blockquote>I once heard an orthodox person denouncing those who discuss articles of faith. “Gentlemen,” he said naïvely, “a true Christian does not examine what he is ordered to believe. Dogma is like a bitter pill: if you chew it, you will never be able to swallow it.”<br>&nbsp;<br><i>[J’ai entendu un dévot, parlant contre des gens qui discutent des articles de foi, dire naïvement: «Messieurs, un vrai chrétien n’examine point ce qu’on lui ordonne de croire.
