This isn’t at any one specific person (it’s the culmination of various experiences from people I’ve already blocked) but, guys,: I put my pronouns in my bio for a reason.
I can understand not knowing what nb stands for but I feel like “they/them” is at least a pretty good clue. I know some of y’all might be quick to consider me a girl because it’s easier for you or it fits the whole fantasy narrative we’ve got going on here but I need you to understand that when you do that, you are creating a character of me, not acknowledging me as I am. Calling me a woman isn’t going to give me day-ruining dysphoria or anything but I’ve gotten a number of messages from people trying to suss out what I “really” am, as if I’m going to be like “lol! You got me, I was just pretending to be nonbinary ;)”
I understand that the nature of this content means that questions about whether or not I have kids/am biologically capable of having kids is just par for the course, but if you keep prodding me for an answer that I’ve already given you then I’m just going to assume that you don’t respect me and don’t have any reading comprehension skills. My gender is whatever makes you gay for being attracted to me.
Also, let it be known that I’m not going to get mad at you if you struggle with using gender-neutral language because you’re not used to used to it or because your native language doesn’t have many gender-neutral terms. I know that these things can take a while to adjust to and the stray misstep isn’t a big deal. But if you consistently ignore or try to rewrite my identity to make it convenient for you then you are disrespecting me and I’m going to stop interacting with you.
When in doubt, follow my lead. If I’m writing a post and referring to myself as a mother or housewife, then it’s ok to refer to me in those terms. If I’m using vague language, then I would rather be seen as neither male nor female. Read the room a little.
