I dont honestly know what to do. Ive recently become non binary but ive been aroace around a year. I dont think they'll like my realize what my reasoning is either. Ive had terrible experiences with people my original gender cause of drama. I grew up a Christian I just dont wanna be a girl anymore. Can someone please give me advice? I really dont wanna tell them or the popular girls at school.

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING in the bible saying that you can't identify with a different gender. As a christian myself who has read the whole bible, you can ask your parents to point to the passage where it says you can't feel attraction or can't identify with a gender. They won't be able to find it. And if they hate you anyway, find someone who accepts you and stay close to them. be true to yourself and god bless

Same boat. I’ve done what I can to impress that I’m not interested in anyone - there’s this lovely concept of ‘called to singleness’ that I use when necessary that tends to shut down arguments against my aroaceness. I haven’t brought up being enby apart from little mentions vaguely referencing parts of me I dislike as I’m pretty confident my parents are phobic and I don’t want to risk my housing rn. (Safety first yall!)
I know that I searched for maybe 8 months last year after I learned that being nonbinary was a thing to make sure I wasn’t going to hell for not wanting to be a girl. Result? Not something that affects your salvation so any letter can be a Christian without conflict.
Whether you tell people in your life or not, know you’re valid and supported and there were more than two genders in Judaism that predate Christianity anyway. (Brief google says six; they had categories for cis men, trans men, cis women, trans women, both/all genders, and none or indeterminate genders)
Does this make sense? No clue it’s past midnight for me and I need to go to bed soon. But I hope it helps ❤️
