Marriage isn’t a piece of paper. It’s a promise to stay loyal and faithful to your partner and a public proclamation of love and fidelity. Honestly you two are pretty much married. Don’t let the government make a profit off of your love for one another.
i'm so happy i found a nonbinary channel (as a nonbinary kid)!! the both of you are wonderful, you've got a new subscriber ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
As someone who identifys as non binary who's engaged to a trans women looking forward to this x
I'm a little getting here, but has the documentary come out?
Why are there no other videos on this??? You should have vlogged your protest wedding! :(
We made a doc called I Am They on CZcams (MyGenderation channel)
I love your dog just there trying to get lovies the whole way through 😍
To see two people in love is beautfiul. Much love
Your both beautiful people I love you your an inspiration I was wondering if you had advice for me to get into activism?
I totally agree! Where can I watch the documentary when it's finished?
Congratulations and all the best for your wedding!
We're not sure yet, but we will definitely keep you posted, and there will be a trailer for it at first. Will see a bit further down the line where it will end up! Hopefully at film festivals to begin with and then perhaps a much larger online platform. Watch this space!
Fox & Owl Okay! I'm really excited about it;D
So interesting! I'm very excited for this discussion opening up due to this film.
We can't wait to start this project in a few days.
i was literally just thinking about this. being a non-binary person i never felt like it was right for me to identify as trans nor did i feel any needd to. to me the label of trans carries a big societal weight. to identify as trans i feared that my cavalier attitude towards my personal gender identity (being that i dress both androgynously and like a binary man/woman and also accept male, female and them they pronouns.) would undermine the struggle and fighting that was done by the trans community for their independence and representation. i just didn't think it respectful of me.
Nonbinary people are just as trans ! You don't have to conform to a gender role to be trans :)
I Absolutey love your videos
I love you both and your dog is adorable. I am nb (just started to realize it this yr) and struggle with the trans part because I feel like my acceptance of my body delegitimizes "real" trans experience (?)
There's a lot of pressure to be "trans enough", but just because you accept your body doesn't mean you are not trans. There is no "real" trans experience. It's a spectrum.
You are a wonderful couple and a true enlightening pair also. Can't wait to see the results of your most cogent of current narratives, and I want to help give my support to you both in every way I can for ongoing projects both monetary and in general love terms.
Thank you so much for all your kindness and generosity! We hope we do you proud. :)
Fox & Owl I have every faith in you both 💛💛💛
This is amazing!!! Best of luck with it all!!
Whoop! See you at Pride!! :)
You two are very beautiful people I love you both lots your videos really help me
I do strongly agree that their needs to be less exclusion in the trans community for non-binary people. I myself have been harassed for being non-binary and told that I was invalidating the struggles of "real trans people" somehow by saying I was trans under the umbrella term. Saying things like that invalidates the struggle and existence of non-binary people and it hurts... Anyway, it's nice to see someone else out there talking about this and I'm very inspired by the few videos of yours that I've seen so far. Thank you for that. I hope and plan to watch more of your content because it truly is wonderful and inspiring for other non-binary trans people.
Same sex couples can get married... As in marriage not a civil partnership. But yeah stuff definitely needs to change to be inclusive of non binary people.
I would love to be at the protest wedding, pitty I live half way round the world from you both😣
So, is Owl living permanently now in England???
I soooo wish that I could support you both more but, unfortunately a bit hard to do when struggling to support my Son&my Self at the moment due to poor health and living in Aussie Land.
Hopefully I can donate a little soonXO
Gay Couples are lucky in England though that Civil Partnerships are recognised legally as the Legislation is yet to be passed in Australia to recognise Civil Partnerships.
Hopefully Non-Binary rights will be passed through soon. My everythings are crossed for you bothXxxOoo😀
I will probably be able to make it for the end of student pride. I would rather not be filmed, but it would be nice to maybe say hi and I'd love to come to your wedding!
Of course you can come say hi! See you there :)
Luck And Love To be Both x
I'm from the States, and I am non bionary, I also lI've in a family that thinks that this "freakishness" (their words, not mine) should not be allowed to have the same thing as they do. Its holy and such. And I dont know what to,say or do, that would at least open there mind
You're always welcomed in my community!!! ❤
As a fellow UK NB person, I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary coming out! Especially more discussion on the NB-trans* issue, as I am in the camp of not identifying as trans* for a bunch of reasons but am interested in hearing good discussion on that issue.
We both identify as trans non binary and we think we all belong to the same community for a bunch of reasons as well - it's an ongoing conversation for sure :)
Maybe on forms they should have gender rather than sex. :)
cx45830 i agree but at doctors you may have to have your assigned sex as some medicines or treatments may only work for people assigned male / female at birth if you get what i mean
Congrats and good luck! Wish I could be at your protest wedding!!
A M. Non-binary means that it is not one of the two binary options that are accepted by most of society. Basically any other gender in the spectrum besides cisgender man and cisgender woman
You two are so cute, and there is not enough respect for nonbinary people. Bless you two.
Thanks! Hopefully we will get there one day. :)
I think this is great! Also love to come to the wedding.
You're absolutely invited Elodie!
i'm transgender but my parents aren't ok with it they keep telling me its just a phase and it makes me sad but soon enough i won't have to live with them anymore
Well I'm binaury tranwoman but accept non binaury people and believe your trans as well xx
Good luck!! I fully support you. As a bi person I was super happy when same sex marriage became a thing! Next step, non binary marriage and disposal of the idea that there's only 2 genders!
People usually get married because they love and want to be with each other.
He's got a cervix and she's got a prostate. Sounds legal to me.
This was the first time I ever heard of getting married to destroy the oppressive institution from within. Damn liberals, seditionists, and socialists attempts to strip humanity from tradition and culture.
You guys are so cute/cool/inspiring
Aww thanks :)
Ok what?! Why would you want to destroy marriage?? I agree it should be open to all but it's a commitment you are making legally saying that this person you are going into contract with is someone you find to be your utmost partner and the person you will be with for better or worse until you die! Yes it's a piece of paper yes it's a legal thing but why destroy it? Why not help it to evolve?
It's more a critique of the legal power of marriage. Once you're married, in a lot of countries, you gain tax benefits, insurance benefits, and other financial goodies. The critique is for people who either choose to radian single or never find someone they would like to marry, they are then essentially getting a "singleness tax", as in they are paying more day-to-day than their married friends. Why should tying the knot with someone suddenly grant you financial benefits that others don't get?
Joy Walsh what are you talking about? We don't want to destroy marriage lol
