Non-binary people do not owe you androgyny.

@Nausipoule @babe People absolutely do owe them basic respect, which means making an effort to gender them correctly. Also, speaking from experience, there is no gender presentation that will make people gender nonbinary people correctly by default, especially if we use gender neutral pronouns. There's no "looking nonbinary" in the sense that people will see you and go "Ah yes, they/them", which is one of the reasons it's so important to ask (or check bios online).
@Nausipoule @babe Even if such a presentation existed, it wouldn't be accessible to all nonbinary people, because we can't fully control how we look. And even if we could, it's possible and completely ok to be nonbinary and not want to look completely androgynous.

@Nausipoule @babe Did you know? Keeping your transphobic thoughts to yourself is free.
-
@Nausipoule @babe You're doing lateral transphobia, though. Being trans doesn't absolve you of exorsexism. But ok, nonbinary doesn't exist in our (mainstream) culture, making passing as nonbinary impossible. How is that "on us"? Nonbinary people don't choose the cultures we're born into.

@Nausipoule Also, I'd like to point out that @babe has their pronouns in their bio. They're signaling how you should refer to them about as clearly as they can, unless you expect them to make it their display name.

@Nausipoule Are you, a trans girl, pretending that you don't know what the word "transphobia" means?
-
And if you come at me with shit like "but I see you as..." you'll very quickly not be seeing me at all.
@babe I see you as an infosec blogger and lawyer

@babe @BathysphereHat I’m just here to instantly smack follow on anybody who uses “Rabbit Cohen” cause that’s peak Jewish humor.
-
@Nausipoule Again, how do you pass as nonbinary?

@Nausipoule Ohh, so you're a radfem. Got it. Cool. Cool cool cool.
-
@babe @BathysphereHat In that case it is possibly the coolest name ever.

@Nausipoule @babe this is bot-level flamebait. Just devoid of mind. Imagine being like this and not doing anything about it (ideally the this but maybe the being).

I don't give a shit how much it confuses people that my aesthetic is feminine, it doesn't in any way invalidate my internal sense about who and what I am.
@babe the replies to this by that one person are fucking wild, what the fuck. This doesn’t seem particularly controversial but

@jason Honestly it's not anything I haven't heard a thousand times.
Any post about being non-binary taking off is bound to catch the odd rad fem theory. Credit to @BathysphereHat for countering it so calmly, I'd have just said fuck off -

Not that it matters.... Ricky Gervais self identifies as a comedian. AND Nigel Farage self identifies as a human.
If you identify as a woman then I can believe and validate that.
Farage on the other hand??? Seriously, is he even an organism? I can't imagine anything alive willingly associating with the warm, orange lump in the underwear of life. -

@babe A friend sharing this quote with me last year unlocked a lot for me… both in my writing and in seeing myself.
