I'm nonbinary, but I'm not trans. While I know it's a large umbrella, it just doesn't feel like a word that describes me no matter how much introspection I do. Maybe it's not that I'm "internally transphobic", maybe I'm a cis nonbinary person? Maybe that is also a thing?
I feel like I have too much cis privilege to label myself something else and pretend otherwise. It's like trying to say I'm not white because I have so many other axes of oppression.
idk I'm just processing out loud here. It should go without saying but apparently doesn't: I'm not telling anyone else how to use words in this thread, I'm talking about my own relationship with those words.
