A day in non-binary land by Dodger Hargrove's
It was a beautiful day in non-binary land, the sun and the moon were in the sky, the flowers could not decide whether to come out and bloom, the birds were walking as they identified as dogs, the cats were trying to fly as they identified as birds and the dogs were trying to walk on two legs as they were trans species.
Mx non-binary was happy, they were off to an important conference and spent time getting ready, to look their best.
They set of down the road and as they turned the corner, Mr. Happy was on the other side, “Good Morning Sir” said Mr. Happy cheerily.
“Transphobe, bigot” shouted Mx Non-binary, “Misgendering is violence, can’t you tell I am non-binary?”
‘Oh, I am sorry” said Mr. Happy “But how can I tell?”
Mx Non-binary glared as they replied “ I am wearing my They / Them earrings, eye shadow, lipstick and nail varnish, how can you not tell?’
“But you have a beard” replied Mr. Happy, “can’t men wear eyeshadow, lipstick, nail varnish and earrings?”
“Transphobe, bigot” replied Mx non-binary and they hurried off. As they passed the bakers, they felt hungry and popped in for some snacks’\.
“Good morning Mx non-binary” said the Baker; Mx non-binary’s chest puffed with pride, as validation of ones lived experience was the ultimate in identity politics, “We have some nice Chocolate cake” said the Baker!
“Racist, Racist, imperialist, colonial racist” shouted Mx non-binary, “Chocolate is a racist term and workers are paid a pittance under slave conditions on the plantations”.
The Baker, clearly rattled hastily rewrote the sign which now said “ Ethically sourced, climate friendly Cocoa flavored cake” Mx non-binary brought a Vegan Sausage roll. Oat milk, soy Macchiato and strode happily off.
As they turned the corner, Mx non-binary spotted Little Miss Lesbian coming towards them “ bigot, transphobe, homophobe “ shouted Mx non-binary’
Little Miss Lesbian looked rattled, “What have I done?” she said looking very upset. ‘You refused to have sex with me, last week at the LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ party, as you said you don’t like Penis, but its not a Male Penis, it a Female clitoris” said Mx non-binary “Therefore your a bigot, transphobe, homophobe”.
Little Miss Lesbian run off crying and very upset.
The bus stop was in sight and Mx non-binary quickened their pace as the No 69 Bus could be seen in the distance. They hopped on the bus and sat down.
The bus driver set off and over the intercom, issued a hearty “ Good morning Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls” This was to much for Mx non-binary, who shouted at the top of their voice “ bigot, transphobe, misgendering is violence” and vowed to write a formal complaint to the bus company in regard to their non inclusion and diversity of LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ people, who as a minority deserved to be fully recognized in inclusive language.
Mx non-binary ate their vegan sausage roll and drank their oat milk, soy macchiato and felt good as the bus pulled up outside the conference center
They stood and looked in awe; the sign said “UK Labour Party Conference” and it was truly a safe space, a conference of diversity, equality, minorities where Black Lives Mattered and comrades, trans comrades, non-binary comrades and LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ comrades were valued, as this was a party for the many , not the few.
Little did they know.
