It has been a fantastic day at #IoWPride today. A few of us started the march together, but many more joined us as we meandered down the hill.

Today, July 14th, is International Non-Binary People’s Day.
Often, non-binary people are misunderstood. They exist outside the gender binary of male or female.
It is always a good idea to ask which pronouns they use, as each person may have a different answer.

Camden Council could face legal action from a resident who feels "marginalised" over zebra crossings painted in the colours of the transgender flag... nearly four years ago.
Who knew pastel stripes were so aggressive? 😆

7/ Let's amplify non-binary voices, support non-binary rights, and strive for a world where everyone is free to express themselves fully and authentically.
Let's celebrate and embrace the vibrant spectrum of gender identities together this week, and always.

6/ You deserve to be recognised and celebrated for who you are. Your existence challenges societal norms and paves the way for a more accepting world.
Let's all work together to create a future where everyone, regardless of their gender identity, can live authentically and without fear of judgment.

5/ Let's ensure we continue to ask for and respect people's pronouns, using them correctly and respectfully. Simple acts of respect can go a long way in making non-binary individuals feel valued and validated.
If you're non-binary, know that your identity is beautiful, valid, and meaningful.

4/ By doing so, we can foster a more inclusive and understanding society.
Remember, it's essential to use gender-neutral language and pronouns to create a more inclusive environment.

3/ We accept them for who they are and appreciate their critical perspective on life.
Let's seize the opportunity to learn, listen, and amplify the voices of non-binary individuals. Let's educate ourselves about the unique experiences and challenges faced by non-binary people.

2/ Rather than be afraid of our differences, let’s embrace and rejoice in them. Our world would be very different today if we were all the same.
Non-binary individuals exist outside of the traditional gender binary, and their identities are valid and worthy of recognition.

It is also a celebration. We celebrate our differences. We celebrate our love. We celebrate our lives.
Today, the LGBT+ community may be under a well-funded attack from some groups, but it has constantly been under attack from a variety of people over the many centuries...
