I enjoy sharing this link when I can when I see people starting to learn about this topic! I think itโs crucial in truly understanding the concept of decolonization. clas.osu.edu/sites/clas.o...
I understand your pain. Binding gave me nerve damage so I rarely do it now even though it alleviates dysphoria greatly.
the sword slashes trans femmes on whoโs โgood nonbinary,โ and it slashes against types like myself who spoiler alert- do not want to be sorted by my birth assignment at all. Misogyny impacts all marginalized genders, not just the โsafe ones with vulvasโ (which is also what it sounds like to me)
I just wonโt ever not see โnonbinary afabโ as a way to stab at trans femmes and reassert your association to colonial ideas of cis womanhood, regardless if an individual who uses such terms realizes those deep and harsh implications
AFAB and AMAB are crunchy terms our community uses in specific medical contexts and frankly, will likely shed when we find better language to describe base body types. Thereโs genuinely no need for it to be apart of your gender unless you want to differ from the โyucky transsexualsโ
idk this felt wholesome and resonated from what I saw in my own diaspora
iโm native and while in theory we should probably capitalize in more formal settings, I just sorta assume most people donโt use strict grammar on here and thatโs okay imo?

Did you have the Coco Roll neopets game or access to Lutari Island?
