Welcome back to Queer Wrath Month, Neurodivergent Creative!

In this episode, Caitlin dives deep into nonbinary gender identity—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s time we unlearn the binaries we’ve been spoon-fed... because apparently, it’s 2025 and some of y’all still think gender has only two options like it’s a sad vending machine. (ugh!)

If you’re nonbinary, this episode is for you.

If you’re confused about what it means, this episode is for you.

If you're mad about it... you might need to hear it even more.

The truth is gender diversity has alwaaaays existed. If you can believe in left-handed people, redheads, and the periodic table of elements, you can believe in nonbinary folks too. It's time we bust these binaries, call out all these cisnomartive nonsense, and wear your gender however the hell you want.

💬 “If so many cultures across the entire planet have understood that gender is not a binary, then we need to catch up—instead of banning trans people from bathrooms, which is a waste of time and tax dollars, frankly. That is nonsense.” – Caitlin

Here's what we get into:

- Sex vs Gender Expression vs Gender Identity

- What does nonbinary identity actually mean?

- Hot takes on Ms. as a nonbinary pronoun

- How colonialism erased third genders across cultures

- How gender-affirming care benefits everyone (yes, even cis people)

- Overlap of autism + gender expansiveness

- Lots of science, lots of stats, and more than one “daddy chill” moment

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• Interactive Global Map of Third Genders

• Meta-Analysis on Autism & Gender Identity
