It's crazy how I see people trying to expand the label trans man to include nonbinary people. It's fucking wild when I see people trying to expand the label lesbian to include transmascs. "Oh gender is fluid" "Human beings aren't meant to fit in boxes" Yeah that's true for NONBINARY identities not for BINARY ones. Keep ur fucking nonbinary identities idgaf but leave the binary ones alone. This dumb bitch told me "Don't categorize people" 🤦‍♂️ R u joking? R u fucking serious? The purpose of a label is to categorize yourself especially a binary one. It's to communicate "I identity with this specific thing" Some terms can be more flexible and that's chill but not trans man, trans woman and lesbian. Their purpose is to be completely binary. And what drives me crazy is being told I just need to be more open minded when people are degrading the meaning of my identity. It's usually a fckin nonbinary or woman telling me to calm down abt it, too. Like it doesn't affect YOU it effects me! I don't want cis people seeing sht like this that's basically misinformation and thinking every trans man is a lesbian or thinking I'm nonbinary when I say I'm a trans man. Words have meaning and it's like it's fine to disrespect labels if u wrap it in a neat bow and call it "inclusive". It's not inclusive it's invalidating the real meaning. I meant for this to be a discussion post but it's become a rant cuz it blows my mind how fucking stupid people can be. Like... Not every gender is nonbinary and people need to stop trying to make every gender nonbinary. If gender is a spectrum there's 2 ends of the spectrum which r binary.
