Thanks Shankar for your comments.

Further, I would like to say I am not the only person talking about these issues. Here are a few other narratives that I can really relate to and present valuable perspectives on non-binary gender:

“This is not your conventional trans narrative. This is not a story about being born in the wrong body. This is the story of being born in the wrong world. This is the story of being told who we are without our consent. This is a story of a gender that refuses to be defined by a body.”

Alok Vaid-Menon (http://www.mtv.com/news/1962946/gender-non-conforming-identity-trans/)

“Genderqueer model Rain Dove doesn’t care if you think she’s a man or a woman” (http://www.afterellen.com/genderqueer-model-rain-dove/10/2014/)

I am really happy if my narrative inspires others. At the same time, I would like to state that non-binary gender is real, and I am not the only one who says so.

A well-written truthful experience Vikram. Congrats. My deep-felt wishes to you to progress in the manner you wish in life and be a model of peace and happiness through self-acceptance.

It is unfortunate that what one wears, watches, eats, drinks, believes in and learns in life is often imposed externally.

Thank you for this thought-provoking, well-written and well-argued article. I fully agree that any individual should be free to express him/herself as h/she chooses, provided of course that it is not offensive to other people.
