#afab/amab binary

[isabellascarlett1]

Your Intersex Awareness Day reminders that:

- Micropenis jokes are intersexist and not funny

- Intersex genital mutilation (IGM) is still allowed in nearly every country

- AFAB TransFem, AMAB TransMasc, Cis Trans, and Cis Non-binary are important terms for many Intersex folks

Include Intersex folks in your activism.

It's real fucked up how many queer people dread Pride season due to both systemic queerphobia and queer infighting. Pride season always rockets up my anxiety, and I know I'm not the only one.

This shit sucks, y'all. We gotta support each other more than the queerphobes hate us. I'm not saying we have to love each other, I'm not saying we even have to like each other, but we cannot keep subdividing communities, circulating callouts, and dogpiling each other over who has it worse. That shit will kill us all.

We cannot keep thinking of our individual experiences with bigotry as, "I know [xyz kind of queer] has it worse, but...", and we cannot keep looking at other experiences with bigotry as, "that's bad, but [abc kind of queer] still has it worse," when the reality is that we are all being targeted. It's all bad! It all deserves to be talked about and fought against without trying to put it in some kind of hierarchy! Hierarchies are not fucking helpful here!

Some fucking unity, please.

hate how afab and amab have become the woke male and female, instead of language to help us dismantle inherent arbitrariness of the sex binary

[ranger-danger]

No you don’t get it this time the misogyny is okay because it’s at trans people who don’t call themselves womennnnnn. It’s totallyyyy okayyyyyyy.

[were-wolverine]

dick grayson is amab non-binary. to ME.

he uses he/they pronouns and prefers to present as masc :)

[fully-embracing-my-autopsy]

The next person who uses "opposite sex" is getting stabbed like Caesar

(/nsrs bec I'm not literally going to stab someone but SHEESH why are people like this)

STOP. PROMOTING. A SEX. BINARY. IT. DOESN'T. EXIST!

Hi Herbert <3

[quark-nova]

Why the hell are people constantly inventing more binaries for nonbinary people?? Like you're either transfem (trans woman-lite) or an "amab enby" (cis man-lite); you're either transmasc (trans man-lite) or an "afab enby" (cis woman-lite). It's as if people can not let go of the idea that nonbinary people are either "man-lite" or "woman-lite". If a nonbinary person says they're nonbinary, then they're nonbinary. That's it. We don't have to borderline misgender ourselves and erase our transness because y'all hate trans people who y'all have decided are "too manly" or "not womanly enough". We don't owe y'all anything actually fuck you. "Amab enbies" and "afab enbies" are both nonbinary. Not man 2.0 or woman 2.0, but nonbinary. Get this into your thick fucking skulls you fucking dumbasses

Okay but literally you're so right. Like yeah technically I was amab (at birth, so 22 years ago, it should be past tense) but like, I'm still non-binary (even though I don't always feel like I belong in the community), and I'm also both transneutral and transfem. Like, it's not a binary (that's the whole point!), you don't have to sort us into "man-lite" and "woman-lite".

I think it's crazy to me that people try to deny lesbianism when it comes to non-binary identities. It doesn't matter if they're amab or afab. What matters is who they are as a person and what they are internally. Lesbianism is fluid, that is the best way to describe it. This isn't to say you can't have preferences for things, but everyone does, but those preferences shouldn't restrict you from your attraction nor make you perceive someone any differently than who they are. I wish people could expand their mindset on this a bit more because attraction is different for everyone as well. But denying someone for who they are because of your preconceived thoughts of lesbianism or what a lesbian should be into in general (despite only lesbians being able to truly understand and define lesbianism) is so wacky to me

not all nonbinary people go by they/them or are strictly gender neutral

nonbinary people can go by he/him she/her neopronouns xenopronouns object pronouns

literally any pronouns they want

because nonbinary (to alot) isnt a gender

nonbinary folks can have any pronouns they want any name they want dress how they want gender affirm how they want

they can do anything they want

they can do what they want gives them gender euphoria and makes them happy

im nonbinary and my primary pronouns are he/him because it makes me HAPPY and EUPHORIC

nonbinary is not strictly gender neutral

it can be ANYTHING

nonbinary folks can also be gay or lesbian

not every single one of us is bi pan omni or poly(sexual)

the amount of times ive seen people say nonbinary folks cannot be lesbians because they arent women is BAFFLING

someone said that i cannot be gay because im not a man and am nonbinary (they were a fujoshi though so not very surprised)

gay means man or nonwoman strictly attracted to only men and or nonwomen

lesbian means a womam or nonman strictly attracted to women and or nonwomen

lesbian and gay are not strictly cis or trans terms

on behalf of all my nonbinary siblings brothers and sisters

leave

us

It's 'support trans lesbians' until they're not binary trans women. Until they're trans masc, trans men, or masc AMAB non-binary people.

It comes off as vaguely performative to be honest.

[shortace]

Is anyone else seeing this continual grouping of "women and non-binary people"...? Like, social spaces or sports events, all sorts of things, which are specifically for "women and non-binary people"? I'm an AFAB non-binary, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable, because I feel like the phrasing could make AMAB enbies and more masc-presenting enbies feel unwelcome. I never see "men and non-binary people" as a target group. I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on this phrase/grouping, people with all sorts of non-binary identities.

[applesandarson]

very sick of people telling everyone that theyre afab or amab unless they're intersex. like. it really doesn't matter to me. sex is just a suggestion, a spectrum, a single word used to describe a whole array of different possibilities. i do not care what a person was assigned at birth because i see the person first not the genitals jeez

[femboywaifu]

I really found this video interesting! Give it a watch if you want. It's from Ashton Daniel

[penumbralwoods]

i mean if you're going around asking people to tell you the sex on their legal papers and the specific word to use for what they are you shouldn't be surprised when you get a lot of answers of "what are you a cop?"

[riddlelily]

i really cannot do a rewatch of i saw the tv glow because The horrors of remembering what it was like to watch it while in a relationship with a strictly straight man .
