Personally, I post frequently in the Transgender forum. I'm biologically male. But I have lived all of my life knowing that "inside" I felt as though I should be female. As a result, I'm actually not non-binary. I'm toward the end of the male spectrum in terms of my day-to-day living situation. But "inside" I harbor a firm belief that I should have been born with a body that would put me way at the very other end of the spectrum.
I never post in the women-only forum because I'm biologically male. I have put a couple of posts in the men-only forum. But I only feel comfortable posting there if someone creates a Thread which relates to LGBTQ issues in some way or relates to some other aspect of my transgender experience. This does happen occasionally. Otherwise, I would never go there.
Still, even with my transsexual nature, I don't know that I could be considered non-binary. In that sense, I'm really very binary. I'm just split between the two ends of the spectrum. However, for those who are truly non-binary, "non-binary" is an equally valid gender along with "female" & "male". It deserves its own protected forum, to the same extent that it is provided to females & males. And if such a non-binary-only forum is created, I won't post there because I don't consider myself to be non-binary. I'll continue to post in the Transgender Forum.
