#trans and nonbinary

[newsmutproject]

I hear a lot of conflation of ‘bisexual’ with ‘fluid,’ which riles me because I have experienced my sexual orientation as being pretty static for my entire post-pubescent life. As a non-binary trans bisexual person, I am doubly sick of being called fluid. I am solid! I retain my shape!

-Fred, an interviewee quoted in Claiming the B in LGBT

i don't care how uncomfortable you are around cis men, queer cis men still need places to go, and sometimes, those spaces will be shared with yours. disabled and neurodivergent queer men and queer men of color especially need a place to go. the queer community isn't the "fuck cis men" community. that is the rad fem community. if you think cis men and people who read as cis men are inherently "too scary" or shouldn't be allowed in queer spaces, you joined the wrong community.

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

Ah yes, the 3 genders. Male, female, and “what the fuck are you, a cop?”

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

Kate: As to being a man or woman, must I be one or the other? Must you? Do you know what one is, or the other? Doc Grinder: A man has a penis! A woman has...no penis! [...] Men have sex with women[...] Women have sex with men[...] I can have all this enforced in any court in the land! Kate: Oh really? Well, I used to have a cock, and now I don't. I have a cunt. And I still fuck women and women still fuck me. If the right man came along, I might fuck him. I don't consider myself a man, and quite frequently I doubt that I'm a woman. And you - you still think gender is the issue! Gender is not the issue. Gender is the battlefield. Or the playground.

let's hear it for the nonbinary folks who:

don't present androgynously

use "binary" pronouns in any capacity

identify partially with a binary gender

have a "gendered" name

don't experience body dysmorphia

don't experience gender dysphoria

DO experience gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia but aren't sure what gender or body would suit them

just experience body/gender apathy instead

can't be open about their gender identity yet

you're all absolutely valid.

don't ever feel like you're "not nonbinary enough" because you absolutely are! 💖
