You deserve a good life.

Society may have treated you poorly, but that doesn't mean you've earned it.

You are valued and needed by us all.

You can love yourself for being nonbinary.

It may take time and a lot of work, but you will overcome the artificial self hatred instilled in you by the cowards of your childhood.

You will come to love yourself because an indomitable being like yourself is worthy of it.

If you need permission to look into medically transitioning as a nonbinary person, I'm giving it to you.

Gender affirming care is something that belongs to you, too (regardless of the various legal barriers you may need to overcome).

You deserve a chance to explore and feel happy in your skin.

If all you can do right now as a nonbinary person is survive in spite of bigots, then keep at it.

Hateful people want you to give up. Your community needs you to survive.

With time, I hope, that you'll also live for the joy you deserve.

I want to thank those nonbinary people who are able to be visible in society. It's a dangerous place to be, but we need you.

For those nonbinary people unable (or simply unwilling) to be visible, thank you for making the world a little less lonesome and dangerous by simply existing as you are.

You, a nonbinary person, are real.

No twisted rhetoric, tired bigotry, or irrational thinking can permanently plaster over the truth of your existence.

Hold tight to the truth.

Make life difficult for those who wish to oppress, erase, and destroy nonbinary people.

Your oppressors are spoiled and accustomed to getting their way. They expect you to give in without a fight.

So, resist and make them afraid. Resist to keep other nonbinary people brave.

You can use traditionally binary pronouns as a nonbinary person.

You can like the pronouns that were originally assigned to you at birth. You can can go by some other traditionally binary pronouns. You can appreciate a combination of pronouns or simply not care at all.

Your pronouns only need to satisfy you.

It can be hard to look back at your life as an older nonbinary person.

The ways in which society held you back in earlier years becomes more obvious with age. It can be especially complex when young nonbinary people around you are able to thrive in ways that you had wait to experience.

But your history, your memory, is valuable. You are needed to remind us of how bad it has been, what it's still like around the world, and how important it is to continue to fight for more.

The world has been a hard place for nonbinary people in recent centuries. Yet, nonbinary people have survived, and their stories have become our heritage.

The nonbinary community will remain a refuge for any who need it (as it always has in various forms).

We are stronger and will last longer than any hateful time.

You deserve gender-affirming care as a nonbinary person.

Your need is just as great as those who already receive such care.

Take care of yourself.

All of the slurs, violence, or other bigotry you are forced to endure as a nonbinary person are not your fault.

Those that harm you do so because they are afraid. They are afraid due to their own failings.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are fine.
