Binary gender. (Sigh.)

I'm seeking solidarity. Are there any other goths here who are nonbinary, agender, and/or genderfluid?

New data from Pew Research Center shows while about 1.6% of the general U.S. population identifies as transgender or nonbinary, for those under 30, it rises to 5%.

Which is isolating. Source. It's even worse over here:

One in 300 people in Canada aged 15 and older are transgender or non-binary

Source: StatsCan.

I suppose my logic is that a subculture known for embracing the weirdos and misfits of society might be more welcoming to different gender identities than mainstream society. If you're already a part of goth culture, wouldn't you feel more comfortable being your real self?

I don't know yet, which is why I'm asking.

Edit: You don't have to live in North America. Responses are welcome from anywhere on the globe.

Second Edit: These responses are so pleasing to read, honestly. I wish I could hang out with all of you at a local club. I can't, but here's a telepathic fistbump and much love. 👊🖤
