@Eweish Not a new observation, but: sometimes it’s self-hatred and insecurity. (Sounds like a mirror image of the enby-phobia I’ve sometimes seen from binary trans people.)
@Eweish Clumsy way to refer to trans women and trans men but not trans people who are agender/nonbinary. (Clumsy because it’s not a distinction we should need to be making, arguably, but...)
@Eweish Not seeing what? Sorry, but I’m afraid you’ve lost me here.
@Eweish I’ve seen trans people demand that non-binary people “make up their minds”, though.
@Eweish I don't see what @ghost_bird has said that in any way implies all trans men and women are binarist? Just that the gender binary does not necessarily exclude trans men and women. Certainly there are trans men and women who push for a notion of gender binary that still allows them to be recognised in their identities.
I think it's useful to have language to describe those people who are more capable of assimilation into cis society.
@Eweish @ghost_bird Again. Nobody is saying this.
@Eweish @ghost_bird Someone saying that, occasionally, trans men and women can be shitty to nonbinary folk.
@Eweish @ghost_bird She didn't either? She said "binary", not "binarist". These are two different words.
@Eweish @lambdagrrl @ghost_bird but not everyone does. Some trans people do embrace the binary.
And some have experienced shitty behaviour from people with internalized transphobia.
Could we not attack people for saying this? If we're not allowed to even talk about harmful behaviour, how can we heal from it?
