How to Celebrate Oneness with Interacting with a Non-binary Person?
Over the past few weeks, I have been visiting my old church to see if this is another place where I can worship. I really resonate with the science of mind philosophy. I really have missed the teaching and the congregation. During the after-chat after service last Sunday, I was asked what did my pronouns mean? So in order to try to explain my presence in the world, I thought I would it explain it here so maybe others who attend Oneness CCSL can celebrate oneness with me.
I attended Oneness CCSL several years ago and my name was Julie. Since that time, I have come out in the world as Juls. I see myself as non-binary. For understanding more as to want that means, feel free to view my Tedx Talk.
So when you see me, you might be a bit confused. I outwardly look masculine but my functioning of my emotions comes from a feminine place. I am biologically female but I view myself in the middle of gender. Therefore, gender from my perspective isn’t binary.
What does that mean for you? That means that when you might say he or she, I am not represented in that language. When you say ladies or men, my gender identity isn’t included. When you call me he or she, I am only being represented by one of the genders and not both. When you see me in the bathroom, I am still female so you have nothing to be afraid of even though my outward appearance looks male.
So how can you embrace the spiritual oneness to someone who is non-binary? You can rename your name in your zoom account as (Name, Pronouns). This indicates to me I am with safe people. I was born a twin and my twin and I are they. So I had to chose the pronouns (ze, zem and zir). So instead of saying he or she, if you could say ze to replace the use of he or she, that would be another way of including me in your language. Thus, creating oneness.
My non-binaryness is only one part of me. I do not want it to be burdensome. I do not want to make a big deal of it. I am just simply am asking to be called as I view myself in the world. So hopefully that explains how you can celebrate oneness with interacting with a non-binary person.
