When my partner and I first got together we said we’d never tie the knot – what changed?
? A girl can dream. Eventually, I hit puberty and very swiftly realised that I wouldn’t be wearing a dress and I certainly wouldn’t be getting married any time soon as a gay boy in a world where marriage, for me and mine, was illegal.
It means your subsumption into a system that wasn’t really designed for you, and will never be designed for everyone equally. And really, while everyone assumes marriage to now be “equal,” it’s still pretty much impossible for a non-binary person to get married using their actual pronouns, since there’s no legal way to register anything but she or he on a birth or marriage certificate.
And yet, all of this said, I am getting married in a week. To the partner who once didn’t believe in marriage. And he is marrying me – a non-binary person who will be misgendered on a national marriage register until it is destroyed many, many years after I die, or we divorce. So why on earth am I getting married?
