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 make the odd mistake, but it doesn't take away from the distress that I feel.

Unfortunately it's hard to describe how incredibly important this is to people that don't live with the same experiences, and trust me, that's a good thing; sharing our own perception and experience of the world is hard regardless if it's grief, anxiety, or something else. ## 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.
