I gotta say, so much queer intra-community horseshit dropped off my shoulders when I decided to adopt a firm policy that everyone is the expert in their own identity, the single most knowledgeable person about what it's like to live life in their own skin, and that if someone describes their experience in ways I find contradictory or paradoxical I should do them the courtesy of presuming that they are striving to express something very specific and nuanced, rather than leaping to the conclusion that they're just dumb and using words wrong.

Sure, there are some combinations of identity terms that I look at and go "hmm, I don't get how that works." I'm still a human being. But there's a big difference between not getting how something works versus insisting that it doesn't.

I want "everyone is the expert in their own identity" on a poster

I think it’s also important to accept that sometimes people will be wrong about their own identity. I mean, sometimes the leading experts in a field are still figuring things out or working without all the information, you know? It’s part of the process. 

Sometimes people will be wrong about their identities, and that’s okay. They’re on a journey and this is a step in that journey. It is not your job to fix or correct someone. You should NOT try. You can never know for sure who still has some serious learning ahead of them about themselves. It’s is NOT in any way morally wrong to still be in the process of learning about your identity or even be mistaken about your own identity. It’s part of the journey to learn about yourself. 

If someone’s a close friend you can serve as a sounding board and maybe gently tell them the impression they give you if they’re open to it, but that’s it.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve been right about people in the past or not. Do not try to “fix” anyone’s identity. It literally does not matter if you’re ultimately right about where they end up in terms of labels, that is their journey and you don’t truly know it.

the catholic old white guy asked me to explain lgbtq+ to him and it was honestly kind of funny

[were--ralph]

“okay! you have 15 seconds to explain non-binary to me if there are only male and female genders”

me: if you lost your genitals would you still feel like a man?

“no”

would you feel like a woman?

“no?”

so you wouldn’t feel male or female

“yeah what’s your point?”

So, you wouldn’t fit into the gender binary of male or female? :)

him:

[were--ralph]

“so non-binary just means not feeling male or female?”

Yeah basically

“so why do they use “they” so much”?

if you were a woman would you want to be called a man?

“no…”

And the opposite?

“no…”

Why why would you want someone to call you male or female if you’re not male or female then?”

[were--ralph]

it’s not a perfect way of thinking but i had 15 seconds and i think it got the point across
