Listen, I have done no research on this I literally just thought it up

But, you know how queer and lgbtq+ people are like *generally* accepting that people might move through different labels and identities and viewpoints on their sexuality/gender identity throughout their life but some straight people have a really hard time accepting this and think that you were wrong before (at best) and you're unsure?

Like, how much does that have to do with societal pressures? Like, their sexuality/gender identity is constantly rewarded and any deviation from that is punished, so it never really changes type thing?

Or, is there something inherently queer about even slight fluidity in these concepts? Like, non-societally?

This might be like a really old question to some people but I dunno I just thought of it

Pretty devastating that I, as a queer person, do not know international frog day or if there even is one

Non binary is a good term, its an amazing term, in fact. If you use it as your label, I fully support that.

But if I come out to you, if anyone comes out to you, call them by the label they told you. I am genderqueer. Use genderqueer for me. I chose that label. I feel like it fits me better, it has flexibility and I just like it more.

If you do call me non-binary, by accident or on purpose, you haven't ruined my day, I might tell you I prefer genderqueer for myself (which I do) but I'm not going to care that much either way. My problem is someone else will. Someone else will care that you did and they might not be as contrary as me. They might not correct you, even though they want to. So use the language people tell you to use because, let's face it, the fact is that the language people tell you to use about their gender is the correct language for them. Facts don't care about your feelings.

Can we start exchanging *gendered-feeling* clothing we get from family or from that phase where you try to be what you think other people want you to be between people with different gender expressions?

Like I wish there was a website where some gnc girl could post a dress that they hate and like exchange it with a femboy for a blazer

Or a trans man could exchange a skirt his grandma made him wear for a tie that some trans woman hates.

SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

(Can you tell I want to get rid of all this pink and frilly stuff that's just not me? But like someone somewhere is begging for this stuff)

Can we rename "in the closet" to "undercover"?

No reason I just think it sounds cooler

Like, "Don't mind them, they're an undercover asexual with a god complex."
