Why Does Our Community Keep Throwing It's Members Under The Bus?????
We all know that there are gay men and women who ID as LGB and refuse to accept Transgender people, but what I didn't know, until recently, was that there were Transgender people who ostracize NBs.
How does throwing your community members under the bus help us in a world where we are already heavily targeted?
Even more than that, Nonbinary falls under the transgender umbrella, while still being an umbrella term in itself (all NBs are trans, but not all trans people are NBs), as the definition clearly states one is transgender when their identity differs from their assigned.
Transgender (Binary): Trans Male and Trans Female.
Transgender (Nonbinary): When one feels their gender is a blend of both, neither, or is completely different from the male and female.
So why is it that some trans people choose to invalidate NBs? We are all fighting to stay afloat in a society that clumps us all together and treats us like trash while dealing with our own psyches and dysphoria.
Note: I'm well aware that some NBs choose not to consider themselves Trans. I'm merely using the definition and speaking from my own experience. If you don't like this or don't have a response that can add value to what I'm asking, please don't respond. This is a genuine question that I'd like answered, and would prefer to save the drama for the conservatives who gang up on my Instagram. Thanks.
