Non-Binary and Relationships: What Do I Call You?
Ugla Stefanía writes about Non-Binary relationships in this article from Huffpost Lifestyle.
Most people don’t really have a problem with what name to use when introducing the person they are with. For most people it’s as easily solved as “girlfriend” or “boyfriend”. Seems simple enough, right?

But nothing prepared her to handle the name teachers and students called her numerous times in her first months at her new junior high in 2013: Eliot.
