don’t waste your time explaining your gender to someone who’s pestering you.
you don’t need evidence to be nonbinary, you don’t need to explain it, you just have to be
“are you really going to tear a friendship apart over different opinions??”
listen, I got tons of friends who like pineapple on their pizza, but once you reach that “you, your community, or other marginalized communities don’t deserve basic human rights or even perhaps the right to live” level, you should just accept that it’s your fault no one wants to be your friend.
More accurately, no one really breaks up friendships (or families) over differences of “opinion”, but they will do so over differences of fundamental issues of morality.
The fact that large numbers of people think that “moral positions, often about issues that are literally life and death” and “personal opinions” are interchangeable concepts is a large part of what’s wrong with society.
this really put into words something i’ve always struggled to articulate, especially the last paragraph.
Fun fact if you write “(character) thought they were asexual, until they met the one person who changed that” fanfiction you have to give the nearest asexual person twenty bucks per chapter sorry I don’t make the rules.
Also if you claim the character is (name)-sexual you have to pay every demisexual person that reads it 20 bucks per use of the word.
Are you implying shifting perceptions of one’s sexuality based on personal experience actually doesn’t happen in real life? Because it does.
