I personally don’t care but you can’t be mad at people for not understanding you bc you’re using a widely accepted label in a way that isn’t understood. Labels make communicating easier, so if you’re using a label in a different way (like claiming a sexuality as a gender) you’re not making things easier, yaknow?
Why can’t they be mad that people are calling them nonbinary AFTER being told they are not. Why can’t they be mad that they’re being called transphobic because of how they identify? It’s an unusual identity and obviously people won’t understand. Not understanding something isn’t an excuse to attack it. The problem here is that you and others DO care enough to attack or make snarky comments (“Unironically?”) rather than just accepting that that is how the person identifies.
That is fair to be mad at. I did not call that out. I’m just questioning if they’re genuinely considering lesbian as a gender identity. Bc as a joke it’s funny and we make it in lsa all the time, but rejecting all gendered terms to strictly say lesbian is your gender is objectively incorrect and to get mad people point that out is just weird. Just like they don’t have to deny being nonbinary, but rejecting it as the umbrella term for what you’re experiencing is weird too
In the global space yeah it is, that doesn’t mean you can’t identify that way, it just means the vast majority of the overall community aren’t going to understand you when you label yourself that way. Identify as a lesbian for your gender all you want, but don’t be upset when people question you bc you’re rejecting definitions
Just because you reject label’s understood meaning doesn’t mean the world is going to reject them with you. Identify as a carrot for all I care and I’ll support your right to do so. Totally valid! Demanding everyone understand it immediately with no questions and no explanation…less valid
If your gender identity exists outside of the gender binary, you DO fall under that umbrella. And you’ve denied clarification beyond that. You don’t have to identify as such and nobody is making you, but refusing to clarify anything and just saying “no” and getting mad at follow up question isn’t helpful conversation at all! Just screaming into the internet void
Except they DONT fall under that label. That's the point. AII OP is saying is that they do not want to be called nonbinary when they have already stated that they are not nonbinary. If somebody tells you their identity, you do not say 'actually I think you're this other identity. That is what OP stated that they were upset about in the post, and that's exactly what you have proceeded to do.
I am not saying that. I’m commenting on their lack of actual information regarding it. Which they do not have to give. Nobody has a right to know that. But getting upset people are confused and trying to understand your identity further when you refuse to elaborate is problematic! And that’s all I’m going to say further bc we’re just circling around. Night y’all enjoy the rest of your evenings
And all I’m saying is if you want your gender identity to be a sexuality that’s completely fine. But you cannot be upset that since that doesn’t align with the accepted understanding of those terms so people use them in questions to better understand what you’re communicating to them.
