#nb inclusion

[inkskinned]

we really didn't get violent enough about roe v wade being overturned. but and also - you're one person. you donated money. you went to the protest. you did what you could, which felt like doing basically nothing.

recently some big paper published an op ed (why did you even read it? you knew you'd get upset) about how it's gross that men can't find a partner because women don't want to suffer bad dates - they'd rather go to yoga class. you actually laughed - well, yeah! and it was funny until it wasn't, because something about it made your stomach churn. this is the thing, you want to say, but you don't have the words for what the thing is. just that men being bad at dating is your fault.

the thing is also on instagram. you don't know if it's a setting or algorithm thing, but these days, the most hurtful comments always seem to skim the top. simple reaction is don't read the comments but - you're human, so you're curious. you want to respond to every weird, sanctimonious one with replaying something a million times to find evidence they're lying about their gender is literally sexual harassment you shouldn't be proud of this or maybe get a fucking life you absolute dickhead but you've gotten into enough of these battles as a kid. nothing ever resolves. it just makes you upset.

your father was radicalized. the thing is - you go to therapy about it and yet never find the words for exactly the way that one hurts.

the other day your sister predicted that a commercial that aired during the superbowl was going to cause trouble. you wanted her to be wrong about that. this morning, while scrolling, you saw someone post exactly that - he got so angry i had to leave. it was terrifying. it reminds you, however bleakly: there are entire swathes of people who do not worry about domestic violence. who have no idea why you would put keys into your fist. who do not understand "it's better to be rude than dead." who have never googled am i being gaslit.

the other day you found out there's a bill that would make it so if you have a uterus and are braindead, you could fulfil your cattle purpose and carry a fetus to term. you think about the fact that the leading cause of death for pregnant people is murder. you think about ongoing and informed consent. you think about how, out of fear, if your ex boyfriend had pressured you, you absolutely would have said yes to it. in the comments, you write there is no way that these documents wouldn't be immediately forged. this is going to be misused. and then just delete it, sighing. get up and go to work.

the other day they overturned roe v wade. we weren't nearly violent enough about it. somewhere, a clock is ticking. it's been ticking a long time. you want to say it's time, but it's been time for a while, hasn't it.

people : its important to be inclusive, yes even of identities you don't understand ! support he/him lesbians !

these same people when its about using multiples contradictory labels because identity is complicated and fluid : if you support this you're actually evil

[profeminist]

you are one of the few feminism dedicated blogs that actually talks about transphobia and i just want to say; thank you. from the deepest parts of my nb heart. thank you.

You're welcome, thanks so much for writing!!

#BreakTheBinary

How the hell is a feminist going to think that policing and enforcing a gender essentialist binary will help ANYBODY?!?!?

Trans-exclusive feminism is poop feminism

[jennrypan]

The fact that G3 CAN make black character deisgns..

And then made Clawdeen the most white washed version of herself is fucking evil actually.

You're telling me..Venus looks GOOD and actually looks black coded but the ONE(1) black character we had.

Is light skin, mixed, her personality is softer and more watered down and her original style is washed out??

Fuck you. Tf.

Clawdeen should've gotten the same treatment, but noooo let's make her mixed despite. Already have two latina(? Corrent term??) characters (Lagoona and Skellita) so..why couldn't Clawdeen be kept BLACK? Why did she need to be mixed for her to be the main character?? It's fucking gross and weird.

i need a cock down my throat so bad, to have my nose tucked against their stomach while i struggle to hold my breath for them, to feel their thighs under my hands, grasping and pulling them closer still. need to see the blackness start to creep into the edges of my vision as i finally run out of air, forced to pull back and breathe before i shove them down my throat again

as a NB linguistics student, whenever I hear a teacher talks about inclusive speech (in gendered languages especially), that makes them so interesting to me. I will 100% follow this course with attention and dedication

fat people ily and u are sexy and desirable

love grabbing hips and feeling them dimple beneath my hands

love kissing soft double chins and running my thumb across cheeks turned bright red

love wide wrists and soft hands on my body, warm and loving

love thighs that droop down from gravity as they’re propped up while i’m giving head

love seeing you propped up on a pillow so you can see me beneath your legs over your sweet tummy

love stretch marks that i can trace my tongue up and down… don’t even get me started on the raised ones

love u fat people mwah

No you’re so right, people view nonbinary as Women Lite all the time and it’s SO annoying

!!! I'M NOT EVEN NONBINARY AND IT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH 😭😭 it's always the same people who are like. overly inclusive to the point of being weird but simultaneously act like ur nuts if you remind them amab nonbinary ppl exist 😭

[fearsomeandwretched]

Like if I had a miscarriage in my state I'm basically sentenced to die and I have no way to safely get an abortion if I just don't wanna be pregnant there is simply no way in hell I'm giving up on feminism

[butchmartyr]

genuinely though its kind of insane the transmisogyny and fear trans women just have to live with and how much of it is waved away as exaggeration or paranoia. all i can think of is that bit from infect your friends and loved ones, “THE WHOLE WORLD MONITORS AND MOCKS MY EVERY WAKING MOMENT”, literally it is the strongest part of the entire book just because of how well that describes this shit

[gwyoi]

just such a weird thing to say . you can just be pan you know. I just hate when people say this because no one is like I’m gay and pan

maverinity is a very new concept to me (only found out it even is a thing though your post)

I absolutely have no idea what it means, and looking it up confused me more, can you briefly explain it?

hi! so maverinity is defined by "the quality of being maverique".

maverique is a gender coined by @queerascat in 2014. it is defined as "a gender characterized by autonomy and inner conviction regarding a sense of self that is entirely independent of male/masculinity or female/femininity or anything which derives from the two while still being neither without gender nor a neutral gender."

tldr; maverique is a gender completely on its own. not masc, not fem, not neutral or genderless. nothing relating to the binary. it's similar to aporagender, if you've heard of it.

some good blogs that post about maverinity / maverique stuff:

feel free to comment more if you find them, and feel free to ask any questions you may have abt maverinity / maverique!!
