      Is this the rare non-binary hating but trans supportive individual? I don’t get it.

      Gender being a construct doesn’t mean you can’t willingly put yourself into that pre constructed idea, you can be whatever you like. It’s prescribing it to others that’s fucked up.

      Regardless, nobody as angry as you has ever convinced anyone of anything, nor will anyone ever convince you of anything. I’m sure the world is harsh towards you, and I’m sorry you feel the need to match that energy.

        Thank you. That was the point I was trying to make. Anyone can be whatever they want. Categorizing others is the problem, and one that feels especially wrong for me to keep seeing come from the LGBTQIA+ and ally/adjacent communities (please don’t nitpick me on terminology here, my point is that it seems to be coming from the people who I would expect to be better about this than other groups).

        Who said I hate Nonbinary people? Nonbinary people are trans you idiot, it’s an expression of transness. People who express themselves in ways that don’t align with their assigned gender at birth are more likely to be trans in some way. And no it’s not wrong to try and help them understand themselves. There’s a lot of internalized transphobia and the assumption that cisgender is the default is strong and can prevent people from discovering themselves, therefore they need a lot of help to overcome those obstacles. That’s not bad mean or fucked up, that’s called being trans supportive, why don’t you try it for a change.
