Found this due to a suggestion from @emmaspreekt. Worth a read! #nonbinary #trans #gender #queer http://darahoffmanfox.com/what-is-gender-what-is-gender-identity/">https://darahoffmanfox.com/what-is-g...
Based on this article, I found my experience of gender, of being fine with my body but not with masculinity as a whole, so much I dislike the label "male", does qualify as a (mild) gender dysphoria. That this view is, in a way, a form of Nonbinary or Gender Diversity.
That this falls under the transgender umbrella, even if I have no desire to change myself or my body, rather wanting to change the (toxic) masculinity of others. Since my view encompasses so much more than just gender, I& #39;ll keep using the term Queervidual.
But what does that mean, for me? It& #39;s a term meant to encompass everyone as an individual, with their own traits. These traits may fall into any category, but these categories don& #39;t define the person. The whole does.
What I strive to do, is to judge based on the person& #39;s actions, not the categories one puts themselves in. Though some categories can be tainted so heavily it affects the whole. Yet, mostly those are also categories an individual won& #39;t subscribe to. (Racist, or toxic male, e.g.)
To bring it back to myself, in a way this is a bit of coming out; a bit of self discovery that I already was. That "queerviduality" sits under the transgender umbrella. That I have a cisgender body, but that I am in fact #nonbinary. I am not a man.
The important thing for you, reading along, is what this means for you. For your interaction with me. And that doesn& #39;t really change. I am still Niels. It& #39;s my name, and who I am. It fits. For pronouns, I& #39;m struggling. I don& #39;t want to bother ppl. So He/Him or They is both fine.
It might be this changes over time. If reactive masculinity like Baudet& #39;s or Trump& #39;s wins out, if that becomes the image more associated with men, rather that men shun these toxins; it might be he/him gets the boot. If so, I& #39;ll let you know, in tweet and bio.
I& #39;d like to thank @emmaspreekt again for the suggestion that sparked this thread, and to you all for reading it. To @Marrit_Anne for our discussions that helped shape these views. To you all for reading. I can& #39;t even begin to start naming everyone, but I trust you know if you did
