I've been thinking about how more GMs this year made me feel welcome at the table as a non-binary person.
It's really helped me become more confident and feel more comfortable in my skin!
I want to share some of these moments with y'all, big and small.
So, thread!

So, thread!
I want to start with a disclaimer: this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and this is what helped ME feel comfortable and safe 
I don't speak for everyone who's non-binary. I hope this helps folks be more welcoming and inclusive!

Players always introduce themselves by name and pronouns. This makes it feel less weird when I do it!
Players clearly display their name and pronouns so I can always refer to them, and they can always see mine(/3)
I used to say "Hi my name is Jammi, my pronouns are they/them please"
A good friend told me in private that he felt bad whenever I said "please", he said I shouldn't have to ever ASK to be called by my correct pronouns.
I really almost broke down crying, I was so moved.

when someone misgendered me and just quickly corrected themselves WITHOUT making a big deal out of it or profusely apologizing.I WILL apologize if someone makes a big deal out of it *even though I shouldn't*, I am conditioned to minimize myself and feel guilty.

When a GM includes an NPC section and clearly provides a space to place pronouns When a GM introduces NPCs who use they/them pronouns, and they are not coded "androgynous" or "transgressive"I remember when I met my first non-binary NPC, I was sooooo happy!!!
(/6)
When I introduce an NPC, a GM asks "what are their pronouns?", That's PERFECT When I'm asked "are they a man or a woman?" I kid you not, I feel like I've been stabbed in the chest.
Asking for pronouns is much better and removes the binary coding!
(/7)
A GM who does not question if I use the titles "Queen", "Bride", "Princess" for my NPC with he/him pronouns.Sure, I personally appreciate something like "Royal" or "Promised" instead, but I see myself as a Non-Binary Sword Queen for a reason!
(/8)
A GM who clarifies when I offer he/they or she/they pronouns:"Should I use he/they interchangeably, or is there a preference?"
A GM who gently corrects other players when they misgender me, they know I am just being polite and tired when I don't say anything(/9)
These are just some of the things my amazing GMs (and fellow players!) have done for me this year
