UNHELPFUL CONTEXT
Which oppressive, limiting, and incomplete social construct do you wish to possibly falsely identify as in order do little more than ease the temporary discomfort of strangers you'll likely never see again, risking deep dysphoria, misgendering, and repeated trauma to do so?
UNHELPFUL CONTEXT
wut r u??
UNHELPFUL CONTEXT
On some days, like today, I feel more "masculine" because we've associated and connected strength and suits and self-assuredness with that word, but on other days I feel "feminine" because we've associated and connected vulnerability and dresses and makeup with that word.
...Does that help?
Going to the restroom without an identity crisis is a privilege.
I'm privileged to present as a gender not antithetical
to who I am
I don't often experience
gender dysphoria
I don't believe in the gender binary
I identify as a
gender non-conforming person
I also identify
as a woman
Something that I have to use 10x* times a day shouldn't
give me an identity crisis

Non-binary/gnc/ agender people are mythical creatures
You don't care
about my gender
Nonbinary and trans people are literally spliced?
