It’s been 5 years since I’ve come out as non-binary—in Austin, during SXSW, on the cusp of 21. I’ve never wrote about my origin nor about the movie that helped me find myself. For @autostraddle , my essay on how Booksmart helped me come out as nonbinary.

How 'Booksmart' Helped Me Come Out as Nonbinary

Although she was swimming, I knew she was soaring. To see her happy with who she was at that moment was so important to me.
