NAYRT

But doing the polite thing would still not quell my instant assumption of "teenage girl who hasn't realised that the performance of femininity IS a choice and CAN be done critically".

So like

it seems to me that identity, by its nature, is something that can always be changing and shifting and being reinterpreted. I don't think that people need to earn their identities by proving that they're legitimate and eternal for all time. You don't have to look at someone's identity and determine to your own satisfaction that it's their final true end state to respect that it's their current understanding of themselves, you know? I don't think taking on that mindset can ever really be done in a respectful way. Fair enough that you're not being impolite about it, but I really don't agree at all with that point of view.

I was once a teenage girl who hated fashion and make-up and the fact that I was expected to squeal over the heartthrob of the month. I'm 75% sure that if I'd been fifteen years old on tumblr today, I'd draw the conclusion that the word "nonbinary" would explain my discomfort with "femininity" as it was painted by the culture and the people around.

Yeah, I know that "you'll grow out of it" is an awfully condescending way to think about it, but it's a hard instinct to quell all the time I've been there myself.
