this thread is extremely harmful and transphobic, here’s why! maybe take a moment and listen to this because this is disgusting rhetoric. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300305000910848">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
first of all: nonbinary people are under the trans umbrella. not all nonbinary people identify as trans but they are included!
let’s start here: the creator of the well known trans flag is a trans woman named monica helms. she describes the meaning of the colors like this “The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the—
—traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender." the white stripe in the flag is FOR nonbinary people, so to exclude them in trans spaces IS transphobic.
getting support as a trans person IS hard, but that is not the fault of nonbinary people. it is the fault of transphobes. not every trans person is the same and every nonbinary person is DEFINITELY not the same. you clearly have an extremely skewed idea of what nonbinary is. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300306364039170">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
being nonbinary is not just one thing. you cannot fit a nonbinary person into a neat little box. that’s because nonbinary is an umbrella term for many other things! nonbinary people can be afab or amab, fem-aligned, masc-aligned, or androgynous. nonbinary people can even use—
—traditionally binary pronouns if they so wish. just because a person looks like a binary gender, does not make them any less nonbinary. there is NO one way to be nonbinary, we are NOT a third gender.
nonbinary people belong in trans spaces as they are included under the trans umbrella! if you do not feel like you belong, that is not the fault of nonbinary people. you may just need some more time to find a space where you feel comfortable. nobody is taking your resources. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300308087869440">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
this is just transphobic rhetoric rehashed to fit your agenda. just because someone is not on the binary and doesn’t fit your image of what a nonbinary person looks like doesn’t mean they are a “cis person in denial.” i fear you may be experiencing some internalized transphobia. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300309421662208">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
speaking as someone who experiences some amounts of dysphoria, this is extremely transphobic. no matter who you are, you have no right to tell a trans person they aren’t trans just because you don’t agree with them. hating yourself is NOT a requirement to be trans and— https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300310717628416">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
gender euphoria also plays a role. no genuine cisgender person wishes to be the opposite gender. this kalvin garrah rhetoric is extremely harmful to young trans kids just trying to figure themselves out. trans people do not have to medically transition to be trans either. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300311984394245">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
not wanting to potentially harm your body doesn’t make a person any less trans. some trans people may also not have the support or mental health to transition or “pass”. a trans person’s worth is NOT determined by their ability to “pass”. this IS a genuine trans experience. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300313129472001">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
also nonbinary people ARE “genuine transgender people” if you didn’t already understand that. anyways, moving on.
you’re right. the problems nonbinary people face is not the same problems you face. because NOBODY has the same experience. nonbinary people are still oppressed because they identify as a gender opposite of the sex they were assigned at birth, if you weren’t aware. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300314366758912">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
i can assure you that nonbinary people ARE NOT stealing your resources and you are not being pushed aside. if you genuinely feel that way, that might be a problem with you, but nonbinary people are NOT your enemy and do face similar problems as you. blame transphobes maybe?
if you got all the way to the end of this, i hope you can realize how harmful this is. stop villianizing other trans people in your community and maybe start blaming ACTUAL transphobes? just a thought. https://twitter.com/thefreshfinnsta/status/1317300315646054401">https://twitter.com/thefreshf...
besides, does it REALLY harm you that much if people are trying to explore their gender identity? i understand cisgender people faking it for attention but that is RARELY EVER the case and you cannot blame nonbinary people for your struggles. grow up.
