one half woman on my father's side

Eerie is transfem and goes by they/she
I'm not okay. Took a mental health day to do my part and make some art about it. No matter the opposition, we won't be erased. A world without trans people has never existed, and it never will! 🏳️⚧️

"You dont have to be androgynous! There's no one way to look nonbinary" okay cool but I wanna look androgynous
"But you dont have to!" But I want to, I want help on how to look more androgynous
"Ummm theres no one way to look nonbinary, you dont have to be androgynous :/ you cant ask about how to look androgynous,,, you dont need to be androgynous,,," okay well now it just sounds like you have an issue with androgynous people
Don’t be afraid to take up space. You ARE space. The same stuff that makes up the stars that light up the night sky is the stuff inside of you. No matter what they try to tell you, never forget that. Don’t be afraid of taking up space when that’s the very thing that you are.
It's exhausting every time nonbinary androgyny is brought up, it's in the context of "you don't HAVE to be androgynous". 99% of the time we're just forgotten about, omitted from any sort of discourse or positivity, unless it's time to remind people they don't have to be like us.
Being androgynous doesn't get us treated better or more seriously than other nonbinary people. There's no nonbinary/androgyonus gender role. We're still seen as an aesthetic, mental illness, ideology. In fact, we're often more visibly queer and trans than fem-aligned and masc-aligned people.
We're a minority in a minority in a minority. Most nonbinary representation is, in fact, not androgynous.
And nonbinary people being androgynous is not even really a stereotype bigoted people have. Most of the time we are stereotyped as either "transmasc lite" (an AFAB person who has short hair and binds but is still visibly feminine) or people who only change their pronouns and do nothing else. Enbyphobes never jump to androgyny.
amazing how most people within pro nonbinary spaces still cannot compute that a person can be both entirely female and entirely male.
