    I pretty sure I am non-binary. But in my native language the neutral pronouns are, well, pretty weird and I don't like them. It sounds made up.

    So I was thinking, is it okay to be non-binary and still use my masculine pronouns?

    Of course! Just because you are non-binary doesn't mean you need to use pronouns often considered non-binary. You should always use the pronouns you feel best fits you and makes you feel most comfortable.

    Yes. Whatever works for you!

    Or at least, I do ...

    Not that I mind it on those rare occasions people get it wrong and use female language of me (kinda cute tbh) ... I just let people call me whatever they want and its all fine by me. :slight_smile:

    Of course! I am not non binary myself, but I realise not everything has to be black and white. Especially if your native language's neutral pronouns don't suit you. Do what makes you feel comfortable, always.
    In my native language we use male pronouns when we have to refer to gender neutral things or people

    There is no problem with using male pronouns if that is what makes you comfortable. I myself identify as non-binary, but on the masculine side of it. So, I use male pronouns myself.
