Some binary and passing trans people get upset when they’re in queer spaces and asked for their pronouns or referred to as “they/them” before someone knows their pronouns because in non queer spaces, people assume their gender based off appearance and gender them appropriately (because theyre binary and passing). These people think even in queer spaces you should assume peoples gender based off appearance because it makes them personally feel good to be gendered correctly without having to explain themselves
This doesn’t go over well with non passing or non binary trans people for the obvious reasons
Okay I’m not that offline, I am a non binary and a trans people.
I think I was happier when I did not understand that this Twitter® Screenshot™ is just binies getting up in arms over jack shit, again. Like hey, didn’t Contrapoints do exactly this bit about feelin sad people use they/them and wanting to get presumptively gendered correctly? Twitter needs new material.
My grey matter refuses to process whatever is happening here. I will simply continue to not look at twitter.

“Some of you might be misgendered, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take”

i think that was one of these bits that’s secretly sincere.
Well
terrible bit tbh.
It disappointing but not surprising that some binary trans people are okay with transphobia if they benefit from it
Comprador shit
I didn’t have my glasses on and read this as “Constantinople” and was confused about what is being discussed here
I’m 100% with you on this. I’d rather watch sword/fencing videos instead.
