enby aimed microagressions
I’ve grown more and more indifferent about my gender identity. I suppose it has to do with the practical significance of it. Like don’t get me wrong, I definitely do prefer being called they/them when possible. But I feel like I am acting careless to people’s feelings when I ask them to differ their terminology for the sake of my comfort. I personally do not get how any non-binary person could really get frustrated about being misgendered.
I’m not saying misgendering doesn’t suck but when put into perspective, when ‘corrected’, most people would have no clue what they did wrong and/or have no interest of knowing. The truth is that the majority either have no knowledge or refuse to accept the idea that non-binary people exist and we have no control over that. So when I see radical leftleaning activists who are non-binary say what I
would have said at thirteen or fourteen about how they are being oppressed as [insert gender here] because of a simple misunderstanding or confliction of interest, it makes me feel like I’m conflating myself when I simply want to be called agender and they/them because of the hostile energies coming from that community. I just think that non-binary people in general need to have patience. Non-binary
people ARE valid. BUT we are all people. We all take time to learn. We all take time to avoid learning things. We all need to be patient with differences.
