This pride stop making false binaries.

No more 'AFAB or AMAB'

No more 'TME or TMA'

No more 'Man or Non-Man'

And stop treating transmasc and transfem as a binary.

As queers, we bridle against anyone putting labels on us. Queerness provides gray areas, we say, space between the little binary categories that have held society hostage. But a not-small part of queer culture feels like it’s about making those same kinds of binary delineations within our own community. You’re good or you’re bad. Your ideas are 100 percent perfect or you’re part of the problem. You’re saying the right thing or you’re canceled. You look queer or you don’t. You’re one of us or you’re not.

I thought you had made a post about it how (peri) nonbinary people ALSO reinforce binarism (even unintentionally) at some point? But I cannot seem to find it now, if it’s okay do you mind elaborating on what you mean by that, because I feel like it will help me describe something I have seen/experienced

Sincerely an intersex nonbinary

Hi! I don't remember this at all, however I will say I believe anyone can enforce any binary (or even trinary, if you wanna talk about the 'nonbinary is the third gender' folk).

Now, maybe you mean ATIB? A lot of trans people feel they need to "abandon/divorce from their AGAB" as much as possible to truly be trans. (huge oversimplification)

Nonbinary people are no exception to be lead down this belief system, & can easily perpatuate it, especially to other nonbinary/multigendered/genderfluid folk.

Uhm I'm sick right now but I hope this helps. I don't think there's any binary periNB folk are uniquely capable of perpetuating, however I think being nonbinary gives people a unique relationship with binaries so when they do perpetuate it it can & will present in a unique way.

TLDR: I don't believe I would have made a post specifically only about perisex nonbinary people perpetuating binaries, because to me there's not a big enough phenomenon away from the normal ways in which binaries are perpatuated to make a post solely about nonbinary folk & binaries.. I'm sure I could, but if I did I probably would have more to say about internalized exorsexism & interphobia than anything else. Overall, I'd rather shove a conversarion like this into a larger discussion about perpetuating binaries, because without talking about the discussion feels bare & oddly directed.

GUYS ALLAN LITTERALY IS NONBINARY

now I'm not saying he is 100% of a nonbinary gender

but gender and sexuality do not work the same way in barbieland. everyone is either a barbie or a ken— it's a socially constructed binary

that Allan is not part of

Morning looks ❤️❤️

Last night began chesed b'malchut and tonight begins gevurah b'malchut, for my mishpocha who are counting with me...

Thank you so much for supporting my work!

The Omer is counted every nightfall starting the 2nd night of Passover until the night before Shavuot (marking when we received the Torah). This yearly cycle of counting lasts 49 days and every nightfall has its own opportunity for reflection. Each of the 7 weeks has its own focus and each of the 7 days within each week has its own focus within that focus. During Sefirat Ha'Omer, we are invited on a mystical journey, a journey that spirals us deeper and deeper into discovering what exists within our psyches and souls…

text reads:

Today is the first day of the final week of counting... malchut

We're taught to think of everything as binaries, but seeing the world that way limits our ability to experience the full spectrum of reality. 

We think we need to pick alignments, put each other into boxes, and decide who our friends are through the lens of what flags we wear.

Malchut is said to be made of 2 opposing qualities (nobility and humility) but it's not that it shifts back and forth: 

it is the full extent of BOTH simultaneously, and all the in-betweens as well.

And this has been my experience of what we all are too. 

Everyone has a capacity to hold the full extent of compassion and selfishness, ignorance and curiosity, good and evil.

But the only way to fully embrace one is to acknowledge the existence of the other. The only way to end conflict is to deeply see the full spectrum of humanity in each other.
