Beautiful post Brian. I'm happy you are able to express who you are and thank you for sharing the journey with us. I resonate and feel the same way as you: I identify as non-binary, though I pass for cis and have arrived at the same conclusion in conversation with a dear non-binary friend and activist.

And as for being queer, I've loved this way of thinking about it from the poet Brandon Wint: “Not queer like gay; queer like escaping definition. Queer like some sort of fluidity and limitlessness all at once. Queer like a freedom too strange to be conquered. Queer like the fearlessness to imagine what love can look like, and to pursue it.”

Perhaps now is the time to apologize for calling you Chip (for Chippendale) for the first decade I knew you? In my defense, you were rarely seen with a shirt.
