#theyre non binary just like non binary humans are nonbinary

[vroomvroomwee]

It's always so funny to me when I read something along the lines of "Angels and demons are all gender non-conforming because they are above the confinement of that concept known as gender"

Sweetie, buddy, my friend, have you been introduced to human beings?

[daughterofninemoons]

Dear trans people (mostly directed to transfems)

Because there is a disproportionately high ratio of transfems to any other gender on the internet, sometimes it can feel other issues get drowned out, like the frighteningly high amount of SA/rape cases against transmascs, or the blatant discrimination of intersex people in alot of communities (even the trans ones!!!) or the rigid enforcement of this whole skinny androgynous elf stereotype being pushed on the nonbinary gender(s), or the predatory marketing of chest binders to ignorant people with breasts, or a myriad of other issues that i see go ignored a concerning amount of times. Yes, transfem issues are real issues that need to be addressed, yes TERFS and bathroom bills and sports and other things are problematic for transfems but they arent only problematic for transfems. Intersex and non binary people are also seen as problematic in the eyes of transphobes, transmascs compete in the wrong gender because people refuse to accept who they are, basically all of the community is fetishized. These problems are real and encompass the uphill struggle some trans people face (including transfems) to even have their existence and humanity acknowledged. The only way to win in this sick and twisted fame that is public perception, we need to stand as a community, which means respecting one another’s needs and listening.

Also a more specific issue: When knowingly commenting on someone who is trans, and saying something like “omg i wish i had your body your [body part] is/looks so [traditionally masculine, feminine, and/or androgynous feature]” directed at someone trying to transition out of said gender (for example a transfem commenting on a transmasc “oh my god i wish i had your body your hair is so long and femme and your hips are so effeminate” can be extremely dysphoria inducing, as pointing out an effeminate part of someone trying to become a man and vice-versa can hurt on a visceral level, a notion that you wont change and youre just what your body is. This is not to say transmascs must only be big strong hairy dudebros, be whatever the fuck you want, be a god damn 1:1 human replica of a fucking pokemon for all i care. Imagine someone walked up to a transfem and said “omg i love your shoulders theyre so broad and manly” that’s not okay right? (my previous statement about style also applies to transfems)

Love and kisses (or not if you arent into that),

- Max

HEADCANNONS

peeps over at devons bio and clears throat (disclaimer mack overrides me whatever they say GOES you got it... if i misspeak... no i didnt...)

from the start there were high expectations in the household. and ozzy? they were ready to rise to it! soccer practice, got it! ace all your tests, easy! follow a specific routine to a t, whatever makes it easier for everyone else.

they went thru childhood being told what to do and they just... listened...like fr. there was never a rebel phase. there were no tantrums. ozzy just... wanted to do their best wanted his parents to be proud? :(

they just like??? wanna see the best in everyone. homelife kinda was and is and probably always will be wonky and he just wants 2 make other people feel loved and appreciated for more than just their achievements

theyd never admit it but they def used palladian as an excuse to get the FUCK away.. theyve found themselves a lot thru college. he grew up as quite the push over and he sometimes still kinda is but ? has more of a backbone now like they wont compromise their morals to make someone happy but like back in the day it was constantly trying to do ANYTHING to be on everyones good side

other people can fail !! theyll be a shoulder for you to cry on and tell you all about your amazing qualities... but if they fuck up?? god just the worst person ever... how dare they..

ozzy isnt one to judge like tell him your worst secrets and he'll take it to the GRAVE !!! only thing that gets 'em going really is if you fuck for the people he cares about. they have a big heart. so much love to give. so theyre also a bit protective of his lil circle like he just wants everyone happy like they deserve

insanely picky eater like. probably eats the same 3 foods every week.

v affectionate and in tune w their options. theyll tell u they love u as soon as they do and it'll probably be day 1. a type to smooch their friend on the lips as good luck before their big show or whateva

they arent perfect like... they wanna be and try to be but... theyre flawed since, y'know, human. but they hate conflict so theyll do WHATEVER to not deal. big run-away from my problems kind of person... like... lemme just go to school in a different country and that'll solve everything...right? right....

WANTED CONNECTIONS

everything :( please :(

[vampiremiffy]

hi, this feels like a rlly dumb question so i hope it doesnt come across as insincere- as a radfem, i truly dont understand why trans exclusion is needed for the liberation of women as a social class and the female sexual spectrum as a biological form. its something i’ve never been able to really get answers on from other radfems directly. i understand the concept of “womens spaces” and the preservation of women’s social identity (and thus social class) as an extension of female biological liberation, but practically i really dont see how transexuality (both contemporary “radical identity” in the form of nonbinary gender and sexual presentation and traditional hyper-binary transexuality) doesnt serve to undermine the power dynamic of male/female social control. idk its always been a sticking point for me lol, i would love for some insight on it bc i suspect maybe its a difference in approach (i.e seeking to eliminate gendered power structures by grinding away the meaning of genders and biological categories vs seeking to maintain womanhood as a social role that is liberated)

hi! sorry for not answering, i wasnt on tumblr these days the main focus is that radfeminism puts the source of women's oppresion at the basis of sex, it isnt really a trans exclusivity since female trans people (using TIF from now on since that includes both binary and nonbinary trans females, same w TIM) are still included in it all examples of female oppression comes from our sex, not our gender.

girls and women cant identify as men/non binary genders to escape female genital mutilation, feminicide, or simply misogyny microaggressions. we arent oppressed simply by being women, that's the excuse it has been formed by the creation of genders, we are oppressed as female. and even though, TIM may suffer discrimination when cispassing, its still proof of sex based oppresion (the perpetuator assuming theyre female) and we cant talk about all of this without the recognition of a female class, the same way people of color recognize that their oppresion is based on their ethnicity or homo/bisexual people recognize their oppresion comes from same sex attraction at the same time is weird to say "i see no race" when talking about racism, it is when trying to "erase" the existence of sex

also, and no less important, just like non human animals, female and male humans have different physical characteristics (+the female and male socialization), we need female spaces (and male) only, even after an idea of gender abolition like in medical aspects

hope this helps?? i answered at to how i understanded your question lol

[razzleberryjam]

I love it when I point out basic science to someone and they call me a terf which makes no sense because terfs hate me 🙃 like I can't fuck w progressives because they'll reblog a post about science slam dunking bigots and then they'll just act like they're the science side, which I like, I'm all for science, facts over feelings, masks work, etc. Like, sex in the animal kingdom has never been a strict binary, YES, absolute fact slam dunk, but human beings have 2 biological sexes. Thays also a fact. Human beings have 2 sex chromosomes, which can be combined in many many different ways to create many combinations of different types of intersex or other sex chromosome anomalies, but in the DNA blue print, it has the codes for only 2 sexes, human with penis and human with vagina. Thats all the DNA knows, thats all it decides, and there's only 2 but sometimes it messes up, sometimes it mixes it up, sometimes it makes intersex people, but those people don't fall into a 3rd sex because every intersex person is a unique combination of error. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them. Theyre still a human being fully deserving respect and humanity and compassion like anyone. But they're not a 3rd sex. They're just somewhere in between the 2 that exist. There's nothing wrong with that, its just a fact.

Gender is completely different, and seperate. Gender is super complicated on it has to do with identity, culture, societal expectations and norms, neurochemistry, like there are literally a billion random things that could come together to form your gender identity and its just a lot and im not here to talk about that right now

So can yall not call me a fucking terf just because I like biology? Like I AM NONBINARY, im not a terf, Terfs literally think I don't exist. They called me ["non-binary"] 🙃 im not a terf trans people are real, gender identity is seperate completely from biological sex, but in human beings, there are only 2 biological sexes.

[parakeet]

(about non-human nonbinary characters;;) at least its implied theyre nonbinary tho, right? like sure its super easy to assign the identity to non- gender conforming beings, but i feel like its a start to representation.. especially for the audience that doesnt fully have a grasp on the concept yet yknow? so it might be on purpose that the explanation of non human entities not identifying w gender seems so simple ,, at least to us nonbinary bois , but i think abt it from like a teachin standpoint

it’s honestly not really. take steven universe for example. not once is gender ever mentioned in that show, not once is it ever alluded to that the gems are non binary even though they’ve allegedly been that way from the start.

stevonnie gets the ‘they’ pronouns used twice in passing. literally no one besides the fans that google it and find out Sugar said Rainbow Quartz 2.0 uses he/they pronouns are gonna know that they’re even NB nor are they gonna know the nuances or whatever. it’s not really a start or even baby steps if no one even knows about it.

people assuming non human characters don’t follow the binary bc ofc they don’t is not representation. the fans finding out from wikipedia that the creator said ‘you can think whatever’ isn’t representation. still, we can enjoy the media for what it is and think whatever we want, and even appreciate what it does or tries to do, while still being disappointed in it. it’s just really is very tiring and alienating that the only nb rep we ever get are non human characters, and it’s even more tiring that people expect us to settle for that and never complain

i’m not really here to baby content creators. nor am i here to force anyones hands on anything. all i’m saying is that non binary rep could be done better than it is and that i personally am tired

[abandonedabandoned]

Xenic/Xeno-Aligned

when your gender experience (gender, desired/current presentation, dysphoria, other expressions) doesnt fit the human binary of gender alignments.  Instead of male or female aligned, one would feel like theyre more aligned with animals, plants, things, and/or concepts. These terms were made with alterhumans and xenogender individuals in mind, but any nonbinary person who feels xenic fits their identity may use it.

Hello, my name is Hatch, I’m nonbinary, and I have a new term for yall.

What the hell is this term?

Its a term made to help people, like myself and some of my friends, explain their gender in relation to the binary. Now, I love binary aligned people with all of my heart, but I havent felt aligned in that way in a long time. I’ve been hesitant to call myself non-aligned, because my gender IS aligned. Just not male or female. My identity is also highly affected by how I was treated growing up, mental illnesses, and alterhuman identities, I figured I should just make this happen.

Why is it useful?

It can help people explain how their other identities affect them, gender-wise, and it can also help people, like myself, who refuse to force themselves under acceptible terms for their genders.

How do you even say xenic?

Zeh-nick.

Can I call myself Xenic?

Most likely! If my explanation here isn’t enough, youre more than welcome to ask me and talk to me about it!

@uncommongenders could you boost this pretty please!!

[elftwink]

hmmmmmmmmmm im writing a nb character and i sort of want her to alternate pronouns (between he & she specifically) but its just. not necessarily something i want to bother addressing or i havent decided how i want to address bc i already know i want the concept of gender in this world to be. much less rigid (and not just in the non human races, humans too; the nb character is a human anyway) so it’s not. going to come up in the way i would write it if it came up in modern day real world bc i dont think you would explain. being nonbinary the same way and im not totally sure what im Going For

i almost wanna take a penumbra route and just go ‘well, everyone knows pronouns whenever and thats how it is’ but i honestly think that loophole works well because its audio and dialogue and wouldn’t go as well in prose, where people tend to track who’s who by pronouns and there’s not distinct voices beyond characterization. 

this isnt like. im not necessarily looking for advice? on what to do bc i know i want to do this. specifically bc i’ve written many nb characters and most of them used they/them pronouns (once ne/nem/nemself which honestly? i should write more characters who don’t use he, she, or they, except i need to find a way to turn off spellcheck for that specifically bc i need it but i hated getting that red line every time i used a pronoun jksdhghjkh) which like. is obviously a real nb experience but lets be better and do more lol 

i think since its third person objective (probably shifting to limited) as long as i just. have her say ‘hey i switch pronouns’ thats fine. i just. am spending so much time debating less about his gender specifically and more on how i want to construct gender overall and how i want to present it. because i want to be clear that hes nonbinary but i dont know if nonbinary and binary are socially defined as rigidly as theyre defined (by cis people jkdhgskjhg) today, now, here. does that make sense? i dont know what thsi is. genders fake and gender roles are stupid but i think gender does have importance (obviously im trans kjdhjskjhjs) and i want that to resonate bc i feel like sometimes ‘gender is a construct’ gets read as ‘so it doesnt matter’ rather than ‘so start deconstructing your assumptions about it and how other people experience it’ so i want gender to be. important to these characters but also not a Big Deal in the world at large. anyway! thats my worldbuilding monologue for the night. its almost 1am and i have to catch an 8am bus

[winterywitch]

anyway heres a summary of my discourse beliefves:

cishet aces/aros do not belong in gay spaces, bi spaces, lesbian spaces or trans spaces

for me my whole life the LGBT community has been more than that. my perspective is not that of some sad brainwashed child, forced into being more ~tolerant~ than i should be. i genuinely believe and have always believed the LGBT community is more than that, and im not just gonna drop that anytime soon, because i dont think the right to only consider the LGBT community as for “SGA and trans” people is liberation.

therefore cishet aces/aros belong in ace/aro spaces, which for me, count as LGBT.

but not gay, bi, lesbian or trans spaces.

there will be overlap because they are LGBT. but no, cishet aces/aros should have no claim to anything specifically for the L, G, B or T of the community.

for me the community is

Lesbians

Gay men

Bisexuals [SGA or not - as an SGA bi person, i get to speak on this.

Pansexuals

Trans people

Nonbinary people [counting agender, genderfluid, genderqueer, etc. non-cis, non-binary identities]

Intersex people (of course should they want to - the point of this list isn't YOU HAVE TO BE LGBT it's You Can Be Included)

Queer people [anyone who isn't cis or isn't het, including aroace people. non sga bi people im a little iffy on re: them 'reclaiming' queer]

Allies [i think this is important for people in the closet, as long as we dont let cishets get too big for their britches]

Aroaces

and hell, here’s a + to include anything i might have forgotten

aroaces are not functionally cishet.

straight privilege is straight privilege. it isnt not-homophobia privilege. to experience straight privilege you must be straight.

they definitely benefit from not experiencing homophobia. they can be absolute dumbasses abt homophobia for that exact reason.

but they dont experience straight privilege, because they’re not straight. that is all straight privilege has ever meant for me in my LGBT community.

cishet aces are cishet, and also aces. this means they benefit from cis privilege and straight privilege, but aphobia weighs down that straight privilege because they dont perform straightness in the Right way. i dont believe this necessarily makes them systemically oppressed the same way we are. but i dont believe aro or ace identities are privileged either.

there is no coherent Ace Community boogieman that is unanimously a bunch of homophobic, transphobic, racist jackasses, and if you believe that, you are a complete dumbass

yeah, the ace community is comprised of white cishets but, im gonna wager even more commonly, its comprised of literally every LGBT identity and race you can imagine. the ace community is not the white cishet community. it’s the community of everyone who IDs as ace or aro. this is not white cishets as a rule, as a majority, or even half the time.

that being said, inclusionists can say some stupid, shortsighted shit sometimes that is completely ignorant of LGBT history/oppression. i dont agree with the implications that i dont stand for every single thing they say and will not be held accountable for every single thing they say.

similarly, unless you wanna be held accountable for every single thing your side says/does before being allowed to call us out, uh, dont expect the same of us. the onus for this is on exclusionists, i have been around long enough to know you guys started this one. it is up to you guys to start being decent on that one, and then we’ll follow suit. those of us who dont are jackasses.

you are never at liberty EVER to explain to an ace person why their abuse or rape took place. that is called gaslighting, and no, you don’t get to throw a fit when someone calls this what it is. when you call a rape/abuse survivor an annoying disgusting freak for daring to talk about why their rape/abuse happened (since they factually know why it happened and you dont) and then proceed to insist that your headcanon of their trauma is the correct interpretation and theirs is not because theyre a filthy cishet ace (which they rarely are), that is quite literally the definition of gaslighting. and hey, don’t do it.

you are never at liberty EVER to explain to an ace person why their parents forced them into Therapy Specifically Designed To Convert Them Away From Asexuality (which may have a more efficient, shorter name). you dont know how that therapy worked or how the therapist worked because you werent there. you dont know that it was only because of homophobia so therefore this person has no right to claim their own trauma.

not everyone you hate is a cishet ace. don’t call people cishet aces unless you know for a fact they are cishet aces. i imagine you wouldnt want to call a trans lesbian a cishet, which exclusionists have done too many times for me to count. your platform should not be “you said something stupid and harmful, youre a cishet ace,” it should be “you said something stupid and harmful, end of statement.”

for some reason this is a controversial point in some discourse circles, but no one owes you sex. your partners don’t owe you sex. relationships do not equal sex. relationships do not even equal romantic love. relationships are a decision between multiple people on closer emotional intimacy.

if romantic and sexual aspects of a relationship are necessary for you, that’s understandable and okay! but you aren’t OWED that. people don’t need to out themselves as aro or ace for you. people dont need to feel pressured to give you anything they dont want to give. and you dont need to stay in relationships that dont make you happy.

allosexual privilege is not real. no one but white cishet men are 100% celebrated and privileged for experiencing sexual attraction. even white cishet women are oppressed for their attraction in many ways, and repressed from early childhood - so you can imagine how absolutely horrific sex-based oppression is for the LGBT community. we are not celebrated for sexual attraction, we are treated like we are dirty, and we are sexual predators.

WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, yeah, sometimes we are definitely, blatantly favored over aces, and people run around saying asexuality is unnatural, and sexual attraction is what makes us human. this is harmful and damaging, and it shouldn’t happen. i dont consider it systemic oppression and it definitely does not make allosexual privilege a thing.

calling people allosexuals is not something i condone. its not comparable to “cis” as a label, because cis people are an actual oppressor class towards trans people - non-ace LGBP folks are not towards ace people.

intracommunity bigotry is real and it is traumatic. people devalue it constantly and pretend it’s just a slap on the wrist, but it is an absolutely traumatic thing to have to face every day of your life. but it isnt the same as OPPRESSION, and we dont have to conflate the two concepts for intracommunity bigotry to be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

similarly, dont call people REGs unless they are not only aphobes but also truscum or TERFs. i also personally dont really believe in equating aphobes with truscum/TERFs but i dont believe in silencing trans people who openly talk about the similarities, either.

dont call people AERFs unless youre a trans woman holy shit

as someone who was directly affected by the truscum discourse when it happened [not debatable, by the way], this is pretty much recycled truscum discourse in my eyes. you dont need to lecture me on how its not.

just because someone on the “other side” called something you did ableist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc., does not mean you get to shut your eyes and plug your ears. ESPECIALLY if you are part of a privileged class relevant to that accusation. for example as a white exclusionist you dont get to ignore the concerns of inclusionists of color or lecture them on the racism of the ace community. for example as a cis inclusionist [or honestly, even just a non-trans-woman inclusionist] you dont get to ignore the concerns of trans exclusionist women or lecture them on the similarities between TERFs and exclusionists.

“aspec” is not exclusively for the autistic community and i have NEVER seen claims that it was until ace discourse started. thats transparent as fuck to me and youre not fooling anyone. dont just make shit up lmfao

jokes about how Oh Lol Cringe aces inherently are, arent funny especially considering how many of these Jokes are steeped in anti-autistic ableism

idk when this happened but recently ableist jokes are the new Hot Topic of Comedy and thats like, mind-numbingly bad

i dont care what side youre on, IF YOU ARE USING THINGS LIKE FICTIONAL CP/PEDOPHILIC SHIPS/INCEST/RAPE CONTENT TO COPE WITH YOUR TRAUMA, YOU BETTER BE DOING THAT SHIT IN PRIVATE, ONLY SHARING IT WITH LIKE-MINDED, ADULT SURVIVORS, AND NEVER LETTING THAT CONTENT CIRCULATE OUTSIDE OF THAT GROUP. end of story. no ifs, ands or buts about it. speaking as a survivor who uses stuff like this to cope, being a survivor does not give you a free pass to, inadvertently or not, contribute to the pedophilia and circulation of grooming material on the internet. it is your RESPONSIBILITY as a survivor to not continue that cycle. if you avoid that responsibility, you have no right to play victim or pull the “im a survivor ;-;” card when people call you out on this.

educating kids on asexuality is not pedophilia, grooming or sexual abuse. jesus christ lmfao you dont have to assume people word it in a way thats inappropriate or predatory just because theyre pro-ace. kids NEED label/identity options, they are discovering who they are and without a label that fits for them, theyll likely feel like shit. let them have their labels. knowing about asexuality might greatly improve their life if it fits them!

for this reason, stop being weird about mogai labels/trying to “ban” them from everyone’s vocabulary/trying to turn them into some Cringe Joke that is only about Cishets Trying To Be Special. they didn’t fuck over EVERYONE.

inclusionists, in advising kids and questioning people who ask you for answers, be more open-ended. the insistence of “oh youre not a lesbian you’re a quioromantic demi-homosexual!” without also making it ok to just be a lesbian is what hurt and confused so many people on their journey to discovering their identity and its why they resent the whole mogai thing, fairly so. make it okay to just be a lesbian, or just be gay, or just be bi, or just be trans, while letting people know their other, more specific options.

asexuality is not an NSFW or TMI orientation

ace headcanons arent INHERENTLY homophobic, racist or ableist. they absolutely can be and ive seen that shit with my Own Two Eyes [pure innocent baby ace autistic papyrus headcanons back in the undertale fandom (shudders)], but they are not INHERENTLY so.

headcanons for characters with marginalized identity labels that arent identical to the ones you headcanon that character with are not oppression. and you dont get to police this shit as if its factually wrong

absolutely zero sexual interactions with minors ever, thanks!

trying to Bother The Pure Aceys by talking about sex is unacceptable

posting bullshit in ace positivity tags is unacceptable

stop calling people doing nothing but talking about their experiences “freaks”???

dont engage in the whole Oh There Are Valid Identities And There Are Special Snowflake Identities thing its not a very good look

biphobia is its own thing independent of homophobia

biphobia perpetuated within the community isnt necessarily systemic oppression but its traumatic and wrong and shouldnt be treated like some Lol Cringe Joke

you cant just say UM THAT LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENS???? when someone calls your side out on shit lgfkhghgfh especially when it literally does, all the damn time

ace [IRL person, whether or a celebrity or god forbid a flat out bigot] moodboards arent funny

you shouldnt agree to sex that you as an ace person dont want in a situation that you can control if the sex happens or not, but the pressure to provide sex to a non-ace partner is very real. stop blaming ace ppl for that pressure lol speaking as a victim of coercive sexual abuse, you cannot blame the one who didnt want it, even if they COULD have spoken up.

you’re not a bad person for wanting sex if your ace partner doesn’t. there is nothing immoral about not being ace. you just dont get to have sex anyway and you arent owed it if you are set on this committed, monogamous relationship - if sex is a big deal to you, you need to leave that relationship or work out an open situation.

laughing off peoples’ experiences as The Discourse is completely unacceptable, it encourages people to shut up and never analyze themselves and their identities

its not cute in your ace ship headcanons if the ace character is an asshole that rolls their eyes @ or judges their non-ace partner

similarly its not cute in your ace ship headcanons if the non-ace partner is an asshole that rolls their eyes @ or judges their ace partner

you dont get to tell people “ok you identify as heteroflexible but ACTUALLY you’re [insert identity]” literally ever, i understand the concern with people using “safe” identity labels to avoid facing their LGBT identities but acting on that concern in that way is not concern, its concern-trolling and its not fuckin okay.

legitimizing your own identity by delegitimizing the identities of others is bad

DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT, BLANKET-TERM PEOPLE AS QUEER, LITERALLY EVER. DONT DO IT

DONT FUCKIN DO IT!!!!! NOT EVERYONE HAS RECLAIMED THAT SLUR, AND IT IS 100% A SLUR ON TOP OF BEING A CULTURE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY

JESUSS CHRIST DONT FUCKIGN DO IT!!!! WHEN YOU REFERENCE THE QUEER COMMUNITY YOU BETTER ONLY MEAN PPL WHO CALL THEMSELVES QUEER AND HAVE RECLAIMED IT/ARE PART OF THAT SUBCULTURE

we need more nonsexual, non-alcoholic spaces for LGBT folk that are safe for minors, trauma survivors and ace people, but thats not our fault, the prevalence of sexual and alcoholic spaces exists because we were literally not allowed to exist anywhere else until very, VERY recently, and even now it’s a Barely thing

you cant tell someone their experiences didnt happen like my god

we think ace discourse is about more than cishets because exclusionists make it about asexuality as a whole. you guys cant make it about more than cishets and then be like But Ok It’s Just About Cishets You IRrational Crazies?? :/

yes self harm through exposing oneself to the discourse tag is possible, no it’s not funny, no it’s not just ~cishets~doing that, triggers are not exclusive to PTSD survivors, shut the actual fuck up

you dont have any room to comment on the validity of quasiplatonic relationships if you’re not in one, most of the time you guys complaining about them and saying theyre Special Snowflake Things dont actually know what they are. mind your own business lol let people live

if youre not intersex, you dont get to tell people that the intersex community doesnt wanna consider itself LGBT, so they are wrong for saying intersex people are allowed to consider themselves LGBT. youre not being a good ally. sit down, shut up and let intersex people talk amongst themselves.

[to be added to at some point im sure]

asexuals STOLE dragons from CHILDREN to make themselves seem PURE AND INNOCENT, the MONSTERS

[communist-cat-girl]

(Also I know Kizuna uses she/her pronouns usually because of her female appearance, but I also really like using they/them for them because they've said they're "not actually a girl." I see Kizuna as a feminine but non-binary AI who doesn't feel quite at home with human gender norms and doesn't identify as either but likes the girlish aesthetic and wants to be a cute girl.)

for sure! watchin a lot of their videos seems to suggest further that theyre nonbinary but totally dig the traditionally fem aesthetic (just the general vibe and how they never really refer to themselves as a gal but just as an AI, which is kindve an overused “genderless entity” trope but i think it works out well with her)! sometimes the translators for the vids get all “well of course kizunas a gal” but thats a way more borin stance on the matter, but also im queer so im super biased :pthis is also me lookin way too far into a silly character but honestly i think thats gay culture in a nut shell

[mysterycharacterflowers]

Blue Roses 2

Meaning and why this flower was chosen:

– This flower can represent "a dream come true" or an "imposibility" -blue roses do not occur in the wild, and have to be artificially dyed through human effort.

This alludes to the fact that this character is transmasculine, but realizes over the course of their character arc that they'd be happier identifying as nonbinary. Though they thought they'd be happier as a boy, it turns out what suits them best is something that fits within the gender binary, something that has to be achieved through human effort.

– Ton of people are stuck in a matrix, and fighting to escape the escapist world lets you unlock superpowers that besides a weapon, gives you flowers

There's this guy, they're your bro, your buddy.

First guy to join the breakout gang. they likes Trains and trying to do all the guy things. Catharsis effect? They have a crossbow, and also a binder and heels. And Blue roses.

Transgender.

This character's regret is he didn't get to transition publicly. But also now that they're here, they're not getting that expected gender euphoria. They discover theyre TRANSMASC NON-BINARY. SEXUALITY? YES. Dated both guys and girls. Canon. Discussed. Did you know non-binary is also a jp loanword? so cool. Anyway. Blue Roses aren't natural, you need to make them yourself, just like how this character wants to transition irl. Just like the identity they forged for themself. It's all about self-realisation and ACTUALISATION

Description:

– The classic best friend character in an urban fantasy JRPG - a second in command who puts a voice to the team's plans that the silent protagonist cannot. Perceptive, good natured, and an all around nice guy, they're a memorable character even amongst the "best friend" archetype.

Also transgender.

– Your best friend, ally and partner, because that's a role they've always wanted to play. Still figuring out their true self.

Make sure not to leave them alone at a subway, they'll memorise every single timetable.
