Megathread Non-binary genders / Enbies - When Male and Female Aren't Special Enough

You know, I was going to go and quote things throughout and snarkily review it, but I could not make it through. This is God awful. Every line of this screams that it was written by a woman who was raped, and has never psychologically healed.

Bingo. She calls herself a not-woman to dissociate from that trauma, and now her drug isn't getting her high enough anymore. So she turns to packing and testosterone, all while Tumblr cheers her on.
 
That character still reads female to me. I assume they're supposed to be the artist?
Yep. I've noticed that a lot of the non binary people tend to draw themselves as amorphous blobs, and I think it is, it speaks volumes to how little self esteem they have and how much they hate their bodies.

This artist is female with a lot of emotional problems and unresolved psychological issues. (Literally 90% of NBs are like this) It screams from every pore of her and her writing.
 
Fuck me I have to vent.

I attended a conference a few months ago. Sandwiches were provided, including two different kinds of cheese sandwiches, and a few sandwiches that had both kinds of cheese. One of my co-workers, a stereotypical they/them woman, said she really wanted to find one of the sandwiches that had both kinds of cheese, but there were only a few and they were already gone and she was upset about it. Another co-worker consoled her by suggesting they share split sandwiches so she could have one half with Cheese A and one half with Cheese B.

I thought, okay, I guess she's really into assorted cheese? I can respect that. But it still seemed weird that she cared so much and I kept thinking about it from time to time. Then I realized. I would bet 100 pounds sterling that she wanted a sandwich with both kinds of cheese so that she could claim it was a NON-BINARY SANDWICH. I'm not joking. In hindsight I really think she wanted her sandwich to be an expression of her gender identity or some fucking horseshit. I didn't sit with her after so I don't know.

Even if that's not the case and she actually just likes cheese (don't know why anyone would really want a mix of that particular two, I don't think they'd go well together), I hate that that dumb thought came into my mind when ten years ago I never would suspected something so stupid. It gave me flashbacks to old-school tumblr when another they/them I knew pondered, in all seriousness, whether toast for breakfast was masculine or feminine, and how that would affect her gender that day.
 
whether toast for breakfast was masculine or feminine
Ahhhh. I actually get where the they/them is coming from. It's a very complicated system where you or you have to figure out how to extract the pronouns from whatever thing you're trying to figure out if it's masculine or feminine.

Toast - "t" Now we could stop here and acknowledge that "t" stands for testosterone, and therefore toast is masculine. However this is actually misleading.

What is most commonly put on toast? Butter.

But-ter

Ter rhymes with "her"

A piece of buttered toast would use she/her pronouns, and is therefore a feminine breakfast.

Case closed!

ETA: If the toast has jelly, that's a different story.

Jelly

Jel-lee

Lee rhymes with "he"

Jelly toast would use he/him pronouns, and would be a masculine breakfast.

Do you have a lot of second degree- or maybe even first degree- relatives with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar 1?

Just wondering...

She could've just taken a sandwich and removed all the cheese! That would make it 'genderless' ;)

This is a very mentally ill thought process.. reminds me of the people who think they have bugs crawling inside them. Sounds so extreme and obsessive, like one step away from some sort of psychosis. Very unhealthy thinking, this person needs a psychiatrist asap not an endocrinologist.
 
Actually, agender is useful, because it can be turned on gender cultists.

Using their logic, a trans person is someone whose birth sex does not match their gender identity. Now, I freely acknowledge my birth sex (male), but I don't have a 'gender identity'. I'm a gender atheist. I don't 'feel' like a man, I just am one. I am my body. I don't have an age identity, I just am a certain age. I don't have a racial identity, I just am of a certain race.

But since I am 'agender', I am trans, according to their own catechism. And therefore I give myself the "T-slur" pass.
One funny thing to do is, when someone says they're agender (or, frankly, any nb gender but particularl agender), to reply, "Oh yeah, like gender critical! I know about gender critical feminism. That's cool." The way many agenders and other nbs describe it, they really are truly talking about gender criticism without realising it. I don't think it's mean or phobic to point this out, but they get mad about it every time. I guess this next bit is obvious but I may as well mention, you can say like, "Oh, ok, I guess the difference is I don't think there's some inherent gender essence we're born with and you do. I get the difference now." Infuriates them every time.

I get the feeling that a lot of transgenderism is borne out of sexual hangups. Like, hitting puberty and not feeling comfortable in your body, or being a man so that awful men won't ogle your tits.

In fact, there's a lot of weird discourse these days about it. Like the whole man vs bear thing. You tell a woman she's an idiot for choosing the bear and she almost immediately goes into "trauma dump" mode, as if you being sexually assaulted means all men suck. Yes, that sounds really pick-me (which then goes back into sexual viability as if being "picked" by the same men who tell you you're an idiot for picking the bear is somehow supposed to be a good thing, right?), but it really comes down to yet another form of feeling powerless over your own body and how other people respond to it.

Here we have a world full of people telling women that they WILL get sexually assaulted or they WILL be discriminated in the workplace. The world is just full of landmines if you're a woman (and I'm not even touching why a man would transition for the social benefits because that would be even more sperging), so it's better to just...not be one, so men will never harm you or make you feel put upon because look at here...I'm not a woman, so I no longer fit into the societal paradigm of abuse that is inescapable for women.

To be clear, nobody deserves to be the recipient of negative sexual attention, but this isn't victim-blaming. You aren't responsible for your trauma, but you ARE responsible for how you handle it in the aftermath. And telling people you're not a woman is not the way to do it.
 
This NB individual basically admits that surgery is pointless because vulvas can be masculine, feminine, or non-binary depending on how a person identifies. Vice versa with penises. This is another reason I never believed in the whole "Born in the wrong body" myth with trans people. If body parts can be any gender that anyone can pick and choose them to be then this would make gender in itself subjective.
