gender things (+) 

Stayinf with friends in Seattle for a quick weekend trip. One asks about my "other" pin--the one on my coat next to the trans "Ally" pin--as she doesn't recognize it.

"Uh...do you have a half-hour?" I joke. "Heh...it's 'non-binary.'"

"Oh! Preferred pronouns?" she asks.

I blink a few times.

"Um...he/him is fine...."

An exaggerated pause as my brain reels; I've literally never been asked in-person before.

"...but...'they/them' makes me feel good..." I finally admit, blushing.

The next morning, laying on my towel in the guest bathroom, is an adjustable pronoun pin with the indicator set to "them."
