Shout out to non-binary people who do want to be seen as a third gender.

Shout out to non-binary people who seek any form of androgyny.

Shout out to non-binary people who have a strong sense of gender and are not completely "opting out" of gender.

Shout out to non-binary people who do want to belong in a certain box and care about labels.

Shout out to non-binary people who care about being misgendered and are not gender-apathetic.

Shout out to non-binary people who consider themselves cis, or neither cis nor trans for any reason.

Shout out to non-binary people who consider themselves cis, or neither cis nor trans due to being intersex.

Shout out to non-binary people whose identity has a reason.

Shout out to ALL nonbinary people who are considered "stereotypical", get little positivity, and every time their identity is mentioned, it's to remind other people they don't have to be like them.

"Nonbinary is not a third gender" for some people it is. "Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny" but we're allowed to desire it. "Being nonbinary is a rebellion against gender roles" if it is for you, cool. But my gender is not a political movement and not everyone feels comfortable with statements like this.

Bonus: shout out to all alloaces, aroallos, and non-SAM aspecs. 99% of all content under asexual or aromantic tags is just aroace stuff

so as a trans nonbinary person I'm rather used to people telling me the gender based oppression that I face is "not real" or "made up" or "unimportant" or any other bs used to either erase or diminish it; so when I see another group of trans people who's gender based oppression is described as "not real" or "made up" forgive me if my reaction is "oh shit those people are going through the same stuff I went through" instead of "surely the critics weren't right about me but when they say the exact same bullshit to another trans group they're entirely right this time" -_-

not wanting to be a woman doesn't mean you have to be a man

not wanting to be a man doesn't mean you have to be a woman

you do not have to be either. you can be neither or something else entirely.

today is international nonbinary people’s day and i have yet to see a single post about it on my dashboard so i have decided to be a bit annoying about it and reblog a bunch of stuff because, frankly, i am so sick of nonbinary people being an afterthought, ignored, and erased in the queer community. i hope that today and during this week (nonbinary awareness week, the 13th-20th) you, the person reading this, will take some time to engage in some meaningful allyship of the nonbinary community beyond phrases like “nonbinary people are valid,” especially if you are not nonbinary yourself. tell your nonbinary friends they matter, support nonbinary creators (especially nonbinary creators of colour!), learn how to use a set of neopronouns, read up on nonbinary-specific issues and exorsexism and how they intersect with intersex issues and oppression, learn about nonbinary gender experiences in cultures other than your own, learn about some lesser known terms and labels used by the community, stop misusing our language (transfem and transmasc) to push bioessentialist discourse within the trans community and push back against binary gender/sex division when you see it — there is so much you can do and all of it makes a difference!

nonbinary people are not only valid, but an important and foundational demographic of the queer and trans community, and we deserve to be treated as such. we deserve to be taken seriously. and to my fellow nonbinary people reading this: your existence makes the world a better place. you deserve to have your identity not just tolerated, but appreciated and respected. i love you. please stay alive

happy international nonbinary people’s day 🖤💜🤍💛

stop thinking of "trans-inclusive" or "trans" radical feminism as the 'radical feminism, but transfeminine' movement. none of this is pro-trans. those with a fundamentally flawed understanding of transmasculine and otherwise nonbinary issues will not sport a great understanding of transfeminine issues because our issues are inherently interconnected and i am tired of pretending this is not the case. radical feminists are very much anti-trans.

a pattern ive noticed

[transfemboygirl]

when seeing the term "transfem" the first thought shouldn't only be a binary woman. when seeing the term "transmasc" the first thought shouldn't only be a binary man.

it's so obvious when someone thinks transfem and transmasc is a (often binary) woman and man exclusive club. transfem ≠ woman and transmasc ≠ man. there's terms for when you mean trans women and trans men, and it's yknow, trans woman and trans man.

i'm tired of nonbinary, abinary, anodiean, etc people who are transfem/masc while not being binary women / men**, being ignored erased or added as an afterthought. i'm tired of multigender, genderfluid, etc people who are transfem/masc, having part of their identity ignored because most posts about transfem/mascs has a monogender centered concept. and i'm tired of people who aren't just one trans label being ignored or an afterthought.

** some people do identify as both binary and nonbinary, and some nonbinary people do identify as women / men. but even then most people exclude them due to the push of strict experience boxes.

⚠️ Do not use they/them if talking about me to others in reblogs/comments. I have neopronouns in my pinned post ⚠️
