Example Sentences
- "Even though the Asari’s appearance fits into conventional ideas of what is attractive and sexually engaging, the underlying design of the Asari is a “point of convergence” from that which is nonheteronormative. As a species of all “females,” their society has no dichotomies based on sex, with every individual moving through the three stages of Maiden, Matron, and Matriarch, regardless of which career path and lifestyle choices she makes."
- "A huge percent of the homeless teens I'd met had been assigned one gender at birth but identified as another, or they felt like the whole boy/girl binary didn't apply to them. They ended up on the street because—shocker—their families didn't accept them. Nothing says "tough love" like kicking your non-heteronormative kid to the curb so they can experience abuse, drugs, high suicide rates, and constant physical danger."
