Idk I’m feeling pretty stupid right now. I’m still not sure what exactly I am or who I want to be, but I decided on nonbinary in general. But…my trans sister in law was making jokes about her (cis) friend’s ex being nonbinary and ugly….and then later showed us photos of another (also cis) friend that she had edited into “nonbinary”, to which the whole family laughed about. Including my partner.

It just makes me feel bad because of course it seems silly to her - she tries as hard as possible to not look or seem queer for her own safety, why would anyone want to be “wierd”. But that’s also one of the exact things that scare me about coming out (that I would instantly be weird), and now I know it really would be held against me.

Idk I wish I could be normal but even the people who I thought were on my side think I’m odd…

Basically like the title says. I'm looking for an upgrade from the literal metal folding chair I've been using. I don't have a lot of space under my desk, and I'm 5ft5/166cm tall, so it does need to be a bit compact. Here are my options:

Aeron	$  350.00	Good, pre-2005. worn
Aeron	$  399.00	Good, about 2008. worn
Zody	$  200.00	Great (except arm pads)
Generation	$    25.00	Good, signs of wear
Regeneration	$    45.00	Great
Sayl	275 (could negotaite)	Great
Amia	$  250.00	"8/10" - smoke free
Leap V2	$    65.00	bad, was a shop chair

Nonbinary transitions are always really interesting to see to me. I’ve known that I was some form of gender fluid for about ten years now, but it’s only been recently that I’ve started taking some steps out of my comfort zone.

Right now, my transition looks like:
- more androgynous haircut (think surfer)
- voice training to be more neutral
- minimizing my more curved features through diet/exercise and clothing choices
- no makeup unless I specifically want to wear it

What about you guys?

Hi all! I've been trawling my local FB marketplace, and I've found a couple pretty interesting options. I found a couple Aerons that range between 300-400 USD, though they are all at least 20 years old. Alternatively, I also found a Zody for $200, which looks much newer - though the arm rests seem to have crumbled a bit and have been taped.

I also found a couple Sayls, but I'm not completely sold on that model.

Which would you choose, and why?

EDIT: I also found a 1st gen Mirra with a lumbar upgrade(?) for $250....hmmm
