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

[GloriousScarf]

I also look younger than I am and very rarely wear makeup. I was more feminine as a teenager but as I’ve gotten older I’ve reverted back to my Tom boy status

Girl same. But Im old enough if anyone tried that shit on me for being a NB, I'd shame the fuck outta them.

Why don't you think women can have short hair?
Do you believe women have to wear make up?
Why do you think women can't wear pants?
I didn't realise you were an evangelical christian.

I'd probably just ask them if they were retarded, tbh. My autism is strong.

I have wondered about this before if trans people generally are at higher risk of dying from things like a stroke. Since often they don’t want to disclose their identity because dIsCrImInAtIoN.

Not wanting to disclose medical information that's relevant to their health and avoiding going to the doctor are common with trannies. It would put them at an elevated risk for a lot of different causes of death. Once you add hormones into the mix, the rates for certain types of cancers and cardiac events and and strokes (especially in those taking testosterone) are going to be elevated. I imagine in the coming decade we are actually going to see a number of studies about this exact thing.

Suddenly remembered this:​

Activist behind ‘Downtown is for drug users’ campaign dies of overdose​

Nova Schultz hung posters with the slogan around downtown and formed a coalition of like-minded activists. They died Oct. 30.

By Aug. 31 of that year, International Overdose Awareness Day, the city’s ideological factions were fuming over the crisis. That day, Schultz stood on the steps of City Hall, flanked by progressive politicians and nonprofit leaders, holding a homemade sign.

“Downtown is for drug users,” it read.

Images of the placard immediately went viral. Tenderloin leaders and online critics seethed over the message. But Schultz, always a provocateur, pressed on, hanging posters with the slogan around downtown and forming a coalition of like-minded activists, the Drug User Liberation Collective.

Schultz, who used they/them pronouns, said they hoped to sway the city from its shift to anti-drug policies. Ultimately, the opposite happened.

City leaders have since introduced a slew of drug enforcement measures. And on Oct. 30, at age 42, Schultz fatally overdosed on methamphetamine, anti-anxiety meds, and three types of fentanyl in their apartment at Sacramento and Polk streets, according to the medical examiner’s office.

They’re remembered by family and friends for their intelligence and generosity. But they were also known for their willingness to be controversial — a tendency that may have proved counterproductive in their campaign to win public sympathy for drug users.

“They liked shocking people,” said Andrea Schultz, Nova’s sister. “Sometimes that worked out really well for them. Other times it caused friction.”

Growing up in Kentucky, Nova was a talented piano player who graduated at the top of their high school class at 16, according to their father, Marvin Schultz. At 19, they moved to Cincinnati and were immersed in the anti-police riots of 2001. Later that year, they came out as gay and moved to San Francisco.

They couch-surfed and attended a master’s program for social work at UC Berkeley in 2011, according to Andrea.

They interned for the Drug Users Union, creating a healthcare guide for users. They appeared to be mostly sober at the time, said founding union member Isaac Jackson.

“They were a trailblazer,” Jackson said. “And they were very proud of their work with us.”

Friends and family aren’t sure when Nova became addicted to drugs. But in an interview with The Standard last January, they said they were a “drug user in recovery.” For 20 years, they had cycled in and out of rehabs, they said, fighting their addiction and the stigma associated with it.

They used their story to argue that many drug users are incapable of kicking their habit, and that legal persecution only worsens their condition.

“Our lives are inherently criminalized. It’s illegal to be us,” Nova said. “People who use drugs are not morally corrupt.”

He went by Nova Schultz, but his real name was Brian Daniel

Sounds like this troon is standing triumphant over the scattered bodies of "like-minded activists."

Total singular they death.

"Nova Schultz" aka Brian Daniel Schultz

Both names are now dead.

His LinkedIn:

He got a Master's so he could be a professional junkie.

His organization, the Bay Area Drug User Union, posted a memorial on their Instagram: (Archive)

We, the BADUU, are deeply saddened and outraged to share the news of the loss of a true leader, Nova Schultz, fka Billay.
Nova was one of our community’s fiercest advocates of drug user’s rights and a passionate organizer/supporter of the work we do. Alongside Isaac Jackson, Nova helped birth the SFDUU over 17 years ago and rallied to support our efforts to keep the Union open under the leadership of Shannon Knox.

When the board of directors saw fit to abruptly and unceremoniously close the SFDUU back in June this year, Nova not only came to our side to provide invaluable support to our collective voice, but also viciously expressed her dismay as services promptly ground to a halt at the Union.
She understood our obligation to the people of the TL as assistance dwindled and the community lost more options to garner the Love they needed and deserve.

Nova was a co-founder of the Drug User Liberation Collective @druguserliberation - the only other local drug user lead organizing effort to end the stigma and the war on drugs that keep drug users down and cause us to die.

We are so very sad and this loss is so hard, it’s symbolic…
She was a critical force. She was hilarious. Look for her zines. Reprint them. Keep her alive.

We send so much Love to Isaac Jackson.
They tried to keep the dream alive, together, for nearly two decades.
-BADUU

And nothing of value was lost.

Don't know where to put this but new gender just popped up on my TL. Cinnagender: A gender which is masculine at its core, but the user expresses themselves in a "feminine" way or has a "feminine" personality/interests. Its also NOT the same as being a femboy, its just being yourslef, even if you're a boy with feminine traits.

Whatever happened to people just having a personality? Why does this NEED a gender? This shows the fundamental problem with modern society. Kids these days lack a central identity to themselves and as such they need to latch onto gender to give themselves a purpose. Personality in itself is not enought, they need to be "Special"

Cinnamoroll doesn't deserve this bullshit.
