Re: Everyone's nonbinary?

've been told that I must be "nonbinary" because I don't consider my gender all that important, and while I recognize I've absolutely been shaped by my existence as a woman, I wouldn't say being a woman is an active part of my identity and I'd be fine waking up tomorrow as a dude.

i always thought that was the norm for people who aren't trans? like i don't think i know a single cis person who thinks all that much about their gender 90% of the time. that was why it was so fascinating to me to hear my trans friends talk about their struggles with gender because for them it is a big deal.

It IS normal for most cis people. Those adopting NB identities just aren't aware of it and think it makes them special somehow.

This is pretty much my experience as a cis person. Np one questions my gender or demands I prove anything, so I don't have to think about it.

yeah, the way my trans friend explained it to me was that as a cis person gender is just sort of background noise to you - it's a thing that exists but you never really think that much about it, whereas when you're trans it's something that occupies your mind constantly because you're always worrying about whether you're passing well enough or whether people will question your gender if you show your id. i'm a cis woman so i never have to worry whether people will see me as a woman, but my friend who is a pre-op trans guy always has to worry on some level about whether he'll be seen as/accepted as a dude.
