Hello! I'm a cis person, but I'm trying to write a story about a character who is non-binary. I'm asking some of my non-binary friends and doing research to figure out how to best represent this in my writing and how the character might go about realising that they are non-binary. If you also have any tips for writing a good representation of a non-binary character, please do share them! Thank you.

There wasn't like one moment, I just never really connected with masculinity in any real sense. We'd talk about masculinity in college or my grad program and I'd always be like "Well it's all made up anyway, right?" As I got older I started making more trans friends and meeting non-binary people and realized I felt more comfortable identifying as non-binary than as a man.
