Can i be real for a sec I really dislike how the concept of being gender neutral or androgynous or nonbinary or just. Trans but not explicitly masc or fem *only* seems to exist as a way to completely suppress and disrespect binary trans peoples identities- usually, if not always transfems-, while nb people arent actually respected or protected when we want our neutrality to be addressed. Like people can't seem to respect us when we "dont look" nonbinary and theyll gender us however they please and then turn around refuse to acknowledge transfems n transmascs gender by stubbornly "remaining neutral" with the pronouns n terms they use. It really isn't a concept people take seriously unless they want to be hateful and it drives me up the wall.
