* Is that Sky? Yea I've met <Rainbow>*them*</Rainbow> before.
* Sky was awake all night as usual, <Rainbow>*they*</Rainbow> are probably super tired.

It's also always okay to also just default to Sky. Sky is me.

### Name
One part is also that I ask people to use my name, even if you might have known me by the name I was given by my parents when I was born. They of course didn't know who I was at the time (and couldn't really ask!) so I was given a traditionally gendered name.

The same way you don't call Alice Eve or Steve, and apologize if you slip up. It's okay to make mistakes, we all do, the effort is what counts. Even if you subscribed to the attempt at dragging this into politics[^eff], you do you, as long as you show others respect and decency.

Adding to this, whilst I consciously understand when people the odd mistake, it doesn't take away from the distress that I feel. Unfortunately it's hard to describe it to people that don't feel the same way how incredibly important it is emotionally.

## Wrap up
To wrap things up, non-binary identity is broad and encompasses many different gender expressions outside of the traditional male and female identities. I wrote this to try and explain (some of) my experience. It's unique but at the same time it's one out of many. To those that took the time to read a bit about me, I'm grateful and I want to encourage you to also ask others with gender non-conforming identities about what it means for them.
