Entirely serious: in young women's case, an extreme example would be rape. A good chunk of the young women caught up in this, "I'm not a woman tho!" thing are women who don't 'identify' with the cartoonish 'woman' stereotype (because who does?) and/or want to escape being treated like they were that time they were sexually assaulted or that creepy old man told her she had pretty breasts when she bloomed early at 13. They would never admit this though. Except like here, when they accidentally do.

Less serious: The trauma of realizing that they're a boring, medicore, plain white teenager who doesn't like being shouted at on tumblr dot com for being ~privileged~ so they make up some bs thing so they can play the oppression olympics without having to actually change anything about themselves.

Sorry lady, but Trappist-1's planets have a high chance of not having life. Please see Dnews'/Seeker's new video on Trappist-1's system.

Introspection of the day: Organic vs. Reflexive responses

What started my considering this: Pronouns, gender, and why I (personally) get fussy about it– and why I don’t want to anymore.

I feel deeply genderfree– encompassing many ideas of gender, including feminine or womanly traits.

So why have I insisted that people not refer to me as a woman, when this is part of the complex whole that is “me?” In part, a desire to challenge preconceptions: I am nonbinary, and when people assume I’m a woman, this is incorrect. Part of this, too, is my desire to define myself entirely.

Mostly, though, I chose set pronouns because I thought I HAD to. I thought that to be nonbinary, I had to choose a set of pronouns and stick to that. But this isn’t right for me! By restricting the pronouns with which others may refer to me, I am setting limits on my identity, which I feel is something limitless.

I would like you to use any pronouns that reflect the person I seem to you. Because I seem different to everyone. To myself, I am unfixed and changeable and free– I even change the pronouns I use when thinking about myself!

TLDR; use any pronouns that you’d like to refer to me, including switching pronouns depending on context.

You're still a woman no matter what bullshit gender you identify.

Just being tidally locked makes it pretty unlikely. ALL of them are probably tidally locked. This would result in extreme conditions with, quite possibly, very little to no area that would be survivable.

And if there are alien there, I hope they not only have the concept of genders, but non of this non-binary bullshit.

Non-binary cringe: Muslim edition.

Only in a privileged western country would this even be possible. Genderfluid means sometimes you feel binary and sometimes you feel like a tumblr-gendered snowflake, right? So when she feels like a man is that the 10% of the time that she removes her hijab? Or does she walk around in a hijab proclaiming she's a man? Does she sometimes show up at the mosque as a demisexual microboi? Isn't it against Islam to do something like this? All because you want to be special or you just don't like pink and baking cookies like a 50s housewife?

All I'm getting from that is extremely pretentious woman, but I don't think there's special pronouns for that.

First non-binary human, I guess.

I'm betting there's precedent but they're all aliens or immortals or shit.

Wait, didn't Tumblr already have a field day because that shitty "Carmella" show had a "nonbinary" character. Given, it was a web series but a series nonetheless.

Also, do people know how awkward and fucking creepy it's going to sound to see that lady with the butch haircut being referred to constantly in third person when she's clearly female & "they/them" doesn't work in a first person context unless the person involved is say, elsewhere, and their gender is unknown (such as when you're driving and you comment on someone else's shitty driving, but you can't see whether the driver is a man or a woman)? I'd even go so far as to say it's outright distracting. I have never liked first person "they" in any sense of the word. It sounds unnatural & frankly, wrong, when someone is right in front of you. I can picture that the show, unless said "nb" character is hella minor, will receive criticism for just how needlessly awkward things'll get every time "THEY" (cough, she) enter(s) the scene and dialogue ensues involving pronouns.

Harpy bitch, maybe? I don't know, that's what I consider the lot of them to be.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh if you're non-binary, you have no gender, thus you are not trans, so no one can be transphobic, you goddamn fruit-roll. Also, your tumblr blog name has the word MERMAN in it so shut the fuck up.

I don't hate non-binary people, I just don't believe that what they are going through is serious, or at least not as serious as when someone is actually trans (and by that I mean you received a diagnosis for Gender Identity Disorder or Gender Dysphoria, like I have). Friends who are non-binary I fully accept and support, but people who aren't my friends, I will continue to doubt you for the rest of my life, sorry.
