Like @Blazzer I’m not the best at emotional responses but I wanted to bring up a few important things here.
1. I’m glad you had the courage to do this but more importantly I’m glad you felt comfortable enough with the community to share this important part of yourself. There’s a good portion of our history where we were looked at, both internally and externally, as being not the most welcoming of places. We’ve been doing our best to change that and this kind of comfort, the comfort to freely be who you are, is important to us. So thank you.
2. Also thank you for the very detailed and well written explanation. Personally I have several non-binary friends so must if it I’ve known for a bit but this community is pretty vast so not everyone would have the same experiences and there may be a lot of members who would be confused.
3. On the note of confusion, we’ll do our best to make sure you, nor anyone else, has to deal with intentional hurtful comments as we always have. As you touched on, however, making that switch for some may be difficult. Luckily forums lend themselves well to this person pronouns already since gender isn’t implied in here so that helps... I’m rambling. My main point was that I hope, and your post gives every indication that it will be the case, you can be patient with those who are attempting to be respectful but may need an adjustment time. This is especially true for members who join after this and maybe will not have seen it. I may look into whether it’s possible to add a custom profile field for pronouns to help people.
Anyway, that got long winded but thank you for being you @fishy. I would never want anyone in the league to feel like they need to hide who they are.
