#straw arguments
i cant imagine anything less interesting, less rebellious, less revolutionary and less counterculture than being like “im not feminine, therefore im not a woman”, “im not masculine, therefore im not a man”, “im androgynous, therefore im a third gender” … gen z are tripping thinking this is any different than my grandma saying that men need to be manly and women need to be feminine… like its so BORING… so conservative… this is literally conservativism with weird extra steps… why not normalize androgyny by not fuckin commenting on it and having it not affect ur life in any way, no demands abt pronouns and no weird labels, just existing and being yourself confidently and proudly… no brains no swag this is lame i hate it so so much
That’s not what being nonbinary is. Even in a world with no gender roles, where gender non-conforming folk were completely normal and expected, I’d still be nonbinary. I’d still get gender dysphoria from people using the wrong pronouns and terms for me.
Female-presenting feminine afab & male-presenting masculine amab nonbinary people are proof of this fucking concept, but y'all would rather stick ur head in the sand and say “nonbinary is just gnc! nonbinary is just being androgynous!”
Being nonbinary is based on gender dysphoria, incongruence and euphoria and I’m tired of people saying otherwise.
How would you get gender dysphoria in a world that has no gender roles? The entire reason dysphoria exists is because gender roles and socialization exist. Women get dysphoria when they struggle to fit into society’s expectations, same for men. It doesn’t mean they’re actually the opposite sex or have the wrong brain, it’s because they dislike having to fit into arbitrary standards that change over time and across cultures. There’s nothing natural about gender, there was then people wouldn’t have to be constantly reminded to fit into them. If gender is natural than no one would ever get dysphoria.
It’s not proof of your concept, it just shows the term non-binary has no meaning to anyone but the person using it. How is a gender conforming woman/man breaking gender roles or expectations by simply just calling themselves nb? To everyone with eyes we just see them as men and women.
If your definition of being non-binary is that you feel discomfort with the expectations and socialization you receive at birth, then most people would be nb. It’s a useless label that doesn’t actually change anything about the world or how you exist in it.
@trannyopinionrants’ definition of nonbinary is not “[feeling] discomfort with the expectations and socialisation you receive at birth”. You’re just repeating the misapprehension of what being trans means that they were addressing.
