About

Rory identifies as nonbinary and queer, or genderqueer and bisexual, or genderfluid and pansexual, or whichever words we end up landing on for people who have fluid genders and sexualities.  They are not very attached to their pronouns, so she is fine, or whatever.  As a feminist and someone often gendered as a woman, she’s also interested in the complexities of how perception of gender informs lived experience.  Just don’t ask unprompted questions about her “real name” or body, which is an awkward thing to do to strangers anyways.  If you’re worrying about how to be respectful to nonbinary and transgender people, read this guide they created with The Trevor Project, a Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth.
