Okay ima steal this and make my own thread below! Cuz I got some shit to say 
1. The community that you come from has a shit Ton to do with your gender expression and as Black people - the experience is soooo different. & There have always been gnc ppl in our communities https://twitter.com/shantilly_t/status/1325705870601154560

2. There is nothing trendy or fashionable or âtrying to be differentâ about being non-binary.
I literally have had to sacrifice relationships with friends, family and even potential romantic partners simply because Iâve decided to stop pretending to be a man

3. Non-binary people especially those of us who always get misgendered and correct people can really tell when you actually just view us as men or women and personally I hate all the people who do it lmao. Like I hope you trip and d*e type of hate.
Donât be a fake ally
Donât be a fake ally
4. This goes out to the binary-trans folks who have played a large toll in harming my coming out process - you do not need gender dysphoria nor do I need to convince you that I experience it in order to be non-binary
5. Every time yâall say âwomen + enbiesâ I can tell when you mean âpeople with vaginasâ and itâs fucking stupid and weird as hell
6. THERE IS NOTHING DIFFICULT ABOUT LEARNING PRONOUNS YOU FUCKING LIAR. You know the English language...weâve all had to âlearnâ how to use they/them pronouns some of us are just not selfish assholes who want to reserve the right to call someone whatever....Ure weird
7. Please Cis people if you are a real ally, make an effort to ask people pronouns especially when in a new group setting, it helps so fucking much with breaking the ice especially for people like me who are never ever ever seen as non-binary by new people
8. The experience that I have as an amab person and as a darkskin Black person will likely haunt my gender expression for as long as I occupy this body. I do not need to alter my appearance to your definition of gender nonconformity because non-binary is not a 3rd gender...
9. This is more so a continued statement to an earlier point but...If you treat me like a man....I will hate you. If you treat me like I somehow move around the earth as a man, I will hate you. If you live in this magical universe of vagina good penis bad, I already hate u.
Idk thereâs like a thousand more but I wanted to stick to some main ideas ... also I align wayyy more with being trans than I do with âbeingâ non-binary because it is more so a state of flux (TO ME) than some other category. Idk this one is very hard to explain but yeh
11. Oh okay #11 man this is the big one... for me the âahaâ moment was reading and learning about how white supremacy has been the catalyst for the construction of the imaginary gender binary and above all else my existence as non-binary is a nod and reach back and bigass hug to
My ancestors who were just like me.
And the need to name our condition on earth is incredibly important and I am eternally grateful to be able to do so.

12. WE PUT UP WITH ALOT OF SHIT. The majority of my life consists of and may always consist of constantly getting misgendered. That is a toll of an experience that cis ppl just cannot comprehend and I wish yâall gave us grace considering that toll...
Anyways thatâs all I got
Anyways thatâs all I got
Adding some other great additions that I identify with below !! https://twitter.com/alexredvelvet/status/1325710065270214656
And cry about it later lmao!! (If it comes to that of course) https://twitter.com/shantilly_t/status/1325707443783938049
13. Please know if you decide to constantly misgender me I do not view you as a friend or if you have EVER tried to weaponize who you think I am? PLEASE D*3
14. Overall my doods...learn to fucking respect people. You fucking weirdos like to act like someone is doing something to YOU by asking you to simply respect them. Your dick wonât fall off/ you wonât grow one if you learn how to respect peoples pronouns and literal identities...
Damn this the one right here!!
Yâall donât know how powerful this can be for someoneâs day and your friendship. People who correct others for me earn my undying loyalty. https://twitter.com/shantilly_t/status/1325718509666492416
