HYUNJUNG X Zitti E Buoni - COVER (cool vers)

[snxdal]

maybe this is bc i’m from the south and not fuckin uhhhh new york or wherever the hell but like. it is still not really normalized for a man to wear makeup or nail polish. women with short hair still get offensive comments about their appearances. like even small acts of gender nonconformity can still be scary and dangerous in 2021 and i feel like so many people just live in this progressive bubble where they think that all dudes being Remotely “feminine” in some way are like homophobic tiktok e-boys doing it for clout or whatever and that’s uh. fucking stupid. like i can PROMISE you that the vast majority of gender nonconforming people are not trying to do something that’s never been done before, nor are they claiming to do so, they’re just trying to live their lives and look the way they want to look. you aren’t helping anybody by trying to police who has the right to be wearing skirts or painting their nails or doing their hair a certain way.

anyway this is ur daily reminder that gender nonconformity is not a trend and it’s gross to attack people for being gender nonconforming in a way that you think “has been done before” or “isn’t that special” or whatever the fuck. like i’m sorry but it’s just cruel and hateful! being gender nonconforming still takes bravery and courage. people still face discrimination and harassment. whose cause do you think you’re helping by attempting to be the gatekeeper of nontraditional gender expression? genuinely, who do you think benefits when you attack people for stepping outside of the bounds of traditional gender expression? who? because it certainly fucking isn’t gnc people.

Do you know of any non binary sapphic books?

Hmm, well, Ivan Coyote published most of their books while they IDed as a butch lesbian, but now IDs as non-binary. (And their books are all amazing.) I especially recommend Gender Failure, which is written with another non-binary author(/musician), Rae Spoon (review here). 

Freak of Nurture by Kelli Dunham talks about the author’s genderqueer lesbian identity (review).

Other non-binary books that are sometimes categorized as sapphic or have been reviewed at the Lesbrary:

Orlando by Virginia Woolf (review)

Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson (gender unspecified)

Lost Boi by Sassafras Lowrey (review)

A + E 4ever by i. merey

Out of Salem by Hal Schrieve (review)

First Spring Grass Fire by Rae Spoon (review)

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

Sapphic books with non-binary love interests:

Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake (review)

The Little Homo Sapiens Scientist by S.L. Huang (review)

Mermaid in Chelsea Creek by Michelle Tea

The Brilliant Death by Amy Rose Capetta (demigirl MC and genderfluid LI)

Once and Future by Amy Rose Capetta

Like Water by Rebecca Podos

The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde (review)

Heart of the Liliko'i by Dena Hankins

A Lake of Feathers and Moonbeams by Dax Murray has both sapphic main characters and a non-binary main character (review).

I know The Lost Coast by Amy Rose Capetta has a prominent non-binary character and sapphic representation, but I don’t know the particulars.

There’s also a goodreads list of Non-Binary (Genderqueer, Genderfluid, Gender-Unspecified, etc) Fiction and Memoirs that may be helpful for you.

I hope that helps!

I want people to stop attacking nonbinary people who describe their genders in abstract, flowery terms. And I want them to stop dismissing them as “just teenagers who don’t know any better”, too.

You know why? Because cis people do the same thing all the time and nobody bats an eye about it.

Manhood and womanhood are associated with symbols, colors, animals, astronomical objects, mythological figures, a whole list of things that have no inherent gendered properties, and that’s fine. (A lot of those symbols are stereotypical, but some binary people still embrace them, while others have come up with alternate symbols that better reflect what being a man or woman means to them.)

If men and women can describe their genders in abstract, symbolic, poetic terms, so can nonbinary people.
