it's actually. really hard to come across questionable marketing decisions & keep a straight face sometimes

The actress discussed her feelings about gender in an interview promoting her latest film, Jimpa.

I love her so much.

Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman disclosed that she's "always felt sort of nonbinary," adding that she's "never felt massively feminine in my being female."

[...]

Colman replied, "I think it's a community that I love being welcomed into. I find the most loving and the most beautiful stories are from that community. And I feel really honored to be welcomed. Throughout my whole life, I've had arguments with people where I've always felt sort of nonbinary."

"Don't make that a big sort of title!" the actress added. "But I've never felt massively feminine in my being female."

Colman added, "I've always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes, 'Yeah, I get that.' And so I do feel at home and at ease. I feel like I have a foot in various camps. I know many people who do. I don't really spend an awful lot of time with people who are very staunchly heterosexual … the men I know and love are very in touch with all sides of themselves."

[...]

Colman argued that "men are limited, too in that, in the expectation they have to live up to. I think with my husband and I, we take turns to be the 'strong one,' or the one who needs a little bit of gentleness. I believe everyone has all of it in them. I've always felt like that. And it's only now and talking to Aud and their community, suddenly I'm not an oddity."

i simply don't think nonbinary people should have to see having our gender/s respected and acknowledged as a luxury. i think it's frankly sickening that that's the state of things tbh.

genderkoolaid

sorry i just think that the fact that popular binary jokes are stuff like "god isn't it so much better to exist as my gender, i didn't even realize how incredibly depressed i was until i transitioned, my life is so much more rich and colorful now that im out and transitioning :)" and popular nonbinary jokes are stuff like "i think i might be nonbinary but that doesn't matter because i have real adult concerns and no one would respect it anyways lol" and that's. normal and funny and cool. yeah. clenches teeth so hard they turn to dust

genderkoolaid

happy nonbinary people's day. treat every nonbinary person you meet with as much compassion and respect as you possibly can or ill grind YOUR teeth to dust.

once tried to share a poem with my uncle about how awful it feels to be reduced to binary ideas of gender as a nonbinary trans dude who doesn't pass. hes a very supportive cis gay man who'd never intentionally disrespect my identity and even he kind of laughed at me when i shared it thinking it was like. supposed to be lighthearted or a joke in a way? even from one of the most compassionate people i know i feel like my identity and a massive chunk of my dysphoria comes off as a funny concept/nonserious. idk

poem included in case anyone wanted to read

#gender #nonbinary #... yeah #the poem is so beautiful and deep and i really don't see how anyone could read it as a lighthearted joke tbh #I am having gender feels again so there #I mean here I am again on tumblr dot com

1. papa's into birdwatching lately. he put a feeder onto his fifth floor apartment window & keeps sending bird videos to the family chat. it's been a month of bullfinches raptor screeching other birds away & queuing on the window ledge. yesterday he sent us a video titled "rooks are here!" & it was of the swaying treetops with a nest and a half. later he brought chicken bones out into the courtyard for the corvids to feast on. laughed his ass off at someone leaving pickled cucumbers & onion peels for the birds at the bird feeding spot. my mother was also there.

2. sometimes there's this gurgling, bubbling sensation behind my sternum. sometimes my heart beats loud and slow & I can't fall asleep. they tell me it's okay. I'm

3. doing my best.

4. the snow is melting. sometimes I can walk without a hat on, 4 am taking the trash out just because I feel like staring at the moon, crisp in a clear indigo sky. tips of my ears burn. I finished writing a book. I make art. I make art, I make art, I make art.

5. winter is almost through & it's four days to my birthday & a song stuck on repeat. I can breathe again.

I have. questions.

Like, cis in a way that I am still my assigned gender at birth, but I also don't identify with my assigned gender, you know?

It's like "My hair is brown" vs "I am a brunette", you know? One is just a thing that describes me, the other carries a sense of identity. When I check the "female" option for my license, it feels the same as checking the "hair: brown" box. It's just a trait. It is a description, but not one that I feel any sort of kinship with, nor resentment of. It's just a check box.

Gender? Yeah, sure, that one. Now lets go get some waffles.

#gender #yep yep yep #once I was late for a meeting with my friend and the actual words that came out of my mouth when we did meet were #sorry I'm late I forgot how long it took to put the girl on #sometimes this does shift for me into more of an eugh no can you just not with the whole gender thing pls and thank #but mostly it's what op said #pronouns are kinda funny though bc I cannot for the love of me identify with gender neutral pronouns in my native language bc there are #no neutral ones for one and I just do not feel the ones ppl use I mean good for them but to me they just don't work so what I do instead is #switch between male and female verb/adjective endings for myself while still using she/her #and weirdly it works #english though is quite a different matter I got a strong they/them preference but also don't mind she/her
