Re: Non-fandom secrets
(Anonymous) 2019-09-05 12:37 am (UTC)(link)I can't relate to the nonbinary people I've met though. Their lives revolve around being nonbinary and social justice issues related that. Mine doesn't. Any common ground is superficial at best so I really doubt we'll have any kind of meaningful exchange or become friends.
Re: Non-fandom secrets
(Anonymous) 2019-09-05 12:54 am (UTC)(link)Oh, definitely. I'll use whatever pronouns someone wants me to because I feel like it's rude not to. But my one friend, I can't help but to mentally think of as she/her because she's just so stereotypically girly that thinking of her as something other than a girl is kind of silly to me. Of course, I would never say that, and I feel like asking "hey, why do you consider yourself non-binary when you're so typically 'feminine'?" wouldn't be polite. I do sometimes feel like it's an attention grabbing thing in that case, but of course you don't say that out loud (and I actually feel kind of guilty even thinking it to be completely honest, but in a way that kind of seems like the only logical explanation).
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure I don't 100% check off all the boxes of how a girl/woman "should" be, but I was born one, am completely comfortable being one (well, periods are annoying, but I wouldn't want to be a man), and honestly don't really think of being female as a big part of my identity.
(That said, I'm not going to rail against "social justice warriors" or any of that BS. I think social justice is important, I think it's important that trans and non-binary people have equal rights and are not discriminated against. I just don't personally understand/relate to it, but realistically, I guess I don't need to. It's just something that's kind of baffled me for awhile now, and I felt like this thread was an appropriate place to talk about it.)
