Super quick and messy photoshoot because I *do* have a lot of other work to do today.

Writing on hand reads “nonbinary aged 40”. The golden infinity symbol is the neurodivergence-affirming symbol for autism.

Not a child. Not incapable. Nonbinary autistic person aged 40.

Transphobia and disableism are inherently entwined.

Anyone tells me it’s messy; yes, I know, and IDGAF; I’m busy and it’s a five-minute idea I wanted to get down before I go back to my dissertation 🏳️‍⚧️💜🖤💛

Will never grow out of his eyeliner phase

[xxinksxx]

I was told that I would eventually

-Like make up

-Would want to shave my legs (who wants to shave their legs it’s tedious AF - my parents legit tried to shame me into doing this too when I’d skip it for a while)

-Would eventually want a boyfriend/husband (HA)

-Would eventually want kids (I’ll carve out my uterus with a rusty spoon first)

-That because I’m “female” I gotta sit/act/behave a certain way (I’ll end you. I’m NB aF)

-Would eventually be forced to carry a purse out of necessity (Got fucking yelled at for this too - not just by family. It gives me hella dysphoria.)

-Would change my mind and could not say for sure that I would NEVER want to date

A mix of all this (and a few others) was told to me from the time I was 8 to the time I moved out of my parents house and bought my own. I’m 32 years old now and there ain’t a damn thing on this list that I like or want to do. If this is just a phase then it’s a life long phase and I’m here to ride this bitch till I fucking DIE. Don’t let anyone try to dictate to you how you live your personal life. If you like doing any and all these things coolio homie you do you. Slay it like damn royal. But if someone tries to tell you to live your life according to what they find acceptable tell them to fuck off. (short of being a racist bigot guys come on work with me)

This has been a PSA from your local Agendered Aromantic Asexual. Thanks for tuning in.

Genderfluid individuals are often misunderstood. People think that being genderfluid is just a phase and that we will "settle" eventually either as female or male.

In some cases, this may happen. But most of the time, being genderfluid is not a phase. It's a thousand phases.

Or rather, it's an independent gender identity under the nonbinary umbrella that means that our gender is fluctuating. Sometimes only once a year, sometimes several times a day.

But we are still valid like any other individual.

I love that we have collectively agreed that Jamie is bi. But also… imagine bisexual Georgie Tartt. Like it just kind of makes sense. I can picture her maybe having a girlfriend or two when Jamie is younger before his dad comes back into the picture. I can picture them all going to an aquarium or something. I can see Georgie sticking with dating women for a while, because she’s still wary after leaving Jamie’s dad. And like the women she goes out with happen to be more understanding of her situation than the men. And they all love Jamie to pieces. But maybe she ends up breaking it off with them due to being busy. Or like maybe her girlfriend ends up moving away for work or something, but Georgie doesn’t want to leave.

And maybe James knows and he’s angry but not really worried, until he hears that she’s going on dates with girls and guys again. And then he feels threatened because he didn’t really see the women she went out with as anything serious. But the men definitely threatened his position in her (and Jamie’s) life. He didn’t want another man raising his son. He probably came with the scheme to get back in Georgie’s life because he realized he didn’t have control over her anymore. But he also knew he couldn’t be a dick at first or she wouldn’t let him back in. He was also probably a bit worried about whatever “soft bullshit” Georgie was putting in Jamie’s head. He didn’t want Jamie to end up queer just because Georgie made it seem like it was okay.

So when Georgie finally trusts him enough to let Jamie start spending time alone with him, he makes sure that his son knows that he can’t be soft, that needs to dominate and act like a real man. He takes him to Amsterdam to make sure any ideas Georgie put in Jamie’s head about being queer were stomped out. And then one day when he’s going on a misogynistic rant to Jamie, he brings up how he knew he had to try and win Georgie back once she decided to pursue more serious relationships. But Jamie is confused because she’s been dating other people for years. And when he brings that up, James just explains that those weren’t deal and didn’t count cause they were women. And Jamie just goes home confused and mentions it to Georgie, who gets reasonably pissed off. And then she kicks James to the curb for real.

And then on her first real date after all this, she gets stood up. But she ends up making friends with the pastry chef at the bakery she went to, whose name is Simon. And she ends up in a happy and supportive relationship, with a man who understands that her liking both is not a phase or wrong. And a man who does his best to show Jamie that it’s alright to be soft.
