I am not saying that the transmasculine, transfeminine, and transneutral trinary was a good thing, but at least it was something of an attempt at inclusion.

But everybody made such a fuss about it that its common use went away as quickly as it came.

And now we are at transmasculine and transfeminine. By which people always mean trans men and trans women. If they didn't, then these would not be used as synonyms. And most of them clearly mean binary trans men and binary trans women at that.

But people don't complain about this binary nearly as much as they did a trinary.

It says a lot that when faced with the issues that came from a gender trinary, people just went back to a binary!

I think people, especially binary trans people, have a duty to remind other trans people that nonbinary trans people do in fact exist, and the things you all think are exclusively the experiences and problems of binary trans people do, in fucking fact, affect nonbinary trans people too. If your post about trans issues that affect all trans people, only mentions binary trans people, that is a problem, and you do in fact need to correct it. We get erased enough, you don't need to continue that erasure.

Include nonbinary people in your posts about trans issues. Remember that we exist. Remember that we don't all identify as transfeminine or transmasculine, but we are still impacted by the issues that transfeminine and transmasculine people are.

Ok but like. I know that everyone love making jokes about how "the first step for passing as a trans person is being skinny and white", but in reality... Both of these can actually kinda be disadvantages when it comes to that?

Like, skinny white male and female bodies are the bodies that society knows how to categorize best. They're the ones that the collective gaze is focused on. They're the ones we're shown in anatomy textbooks. So if you generally don't fit the criteria for a body that people know how to categorize in other ways, people will be more likely to assume your gender based on how you dress, talk, move, etc.

Like, I don't mean it as a "being skinny and white makes life harder for you actually" kinda thing. Objectively speaking, it clearly does the opposite. But I also think that, again, objectively speaking, trying to claim this is how that power dynamic behaves in this specific context, just ignores other factors at play.

Any other bisexuals feel like their attraction, no matter what the gender of the person is, still feels queer in some way?

Dear trans people, you DO NOT have to conform to beauty standards designed for cis people! No one does but they are pressuring you especially because you are trans!! They want you to justify your existence and earn their acceptance by “looking like” them, but you DO NOT HAVE TO. You can be a man/transmasc with a big chest who doesn’t bind and doesn’t take testosterone. You can be a woman/transfem with a small chest who doesn’t tuck or shave or take estrogen. You can be whatever the fuck you want and still be beautiful because you are inherently beautiful and they CANNOT take that away from you!!

Again, Binary Trans Isn't A Thing

Long story short:

The gender binary is a social construct that says there are only ever two kinds of people, cis men and cis women, with literally anyone who doesn't identify that way either being a liar or wrong or both. Part of breaking down the gender binary is acknowledging that this is not true and that the gender binary is entirely socially constructed. People come in a lot more configurations than what the gender binary suggests.

Explanation:

Trans folks that don't use the term non-binary to describe themselves are not "Binary Trans" and you shouldn't be calling people that. It's bad reasoning, an artificial dichotomy that just restates the gender binary only this time including trans men and trans women that aren't being trans in the right way.

Cis men and cis women aren't the problem and putting trans men and trans women right alongside them doesn't help dismantle the gender binary. The problem is the idea of the binary itself, the idea that only two kinds of people exist. That's what we need to break. You shouldn't be categorizing people on the basis of whether or not they're on the right side when the problem is categorizing them in the first place.

All human beings are non-binary because human gender expresses along a spectrum that at best features a bimodal distribution where most people use the term man or woman to describe themselves. Plenty of people exist on that spectrum between, around, and all together different from those two terms.

We use the term non-binary as an identity descriptor when people want to specifically call that out as an important part of their sense of self and self-expression, but human gender is non-binary.

When you seek to dismantle a faulty social construct, it's important to not just recreate it in a different way. Categorize people as binary trans and you're just putting the bricks back in the wall.

I know theyfab is commonly used against transmasc folk, but it bothers me that people act like the term was made for them. Because it was not.

It's another term for trender, one made specifically for afab non-binaries who are not transmasculine.

If you are transmasc and someone calls you this, they are calling you a fake or lesser trans person, they are not even calling you a bad term for transmasc, because it was not for you in the first place.

When you talk about how theyfab is used against transmasc people, you have to acknowledge the exorsexism first. Because you are being misgendered as a non-transmasc non-binary, both as a way to degrade you but also as a way to degrade them.

The insult they gave you was one that was not only made for, but clearly suggests, afab non-binary people who are not transmasculine.

You need to remember this. Even more so if you are a binary trans man.

"cis people are actually more accepting of nonbinary people than binary trans people and that's just a fact!!!" - someone who's very clearly never spoken to a nonbinary person in their whole entire life

you people will just straight up lie about anything to do with nonbinary and pretend it's a fact and then wonder why you're marked red in shinigami eyes.

I’m not a binary trans person, and I was wondering:

would it be ethical to gender-bend a trans oc? personally if someone did that to me irl I would be fine with it, but just so I don’t offend anyone..

by the way, this is my OC, not someone else’s.
