In that case, you completely fumbled your comments (it does sound transphobic). But as I said, you can improve from this. Saying what you said instead that you think gender should not be considered a binary between men or women, and cutting out the rest, would be an improvement and open dialogue.
Edit: just to be clear, I am not calling you a transphobe. I think there was a miscommunication with your removed comment and it is why I tried to clear that up.
comment
i feel like “non gendered” or something is more appropriate than “non binary” and people just latch onto the term because “binary” sounds all futuristic and information age. and before someone explains binary: “there are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t” i mean, people are free to associate however they want, it just feels a little forced to me.
Dude what’s the point of quoting that 2 month old comment again?
Yes I get that I miscommunicated, thats why I clarified for the final time.
If you read all of the words I said its clear im not saying that gender is binary anyways.
“i feel like”
“or something is more appropriate than”.
“people are free to associate however they want, it just feels a little”
It’s pretty clear that I’m not being transphobic, not making claims of fact but I’m talking about terminology and my feelings about words.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
I saw the guy spamming shit about how “if a person doesn’t like the clothing pattern assigned to their genitalia that’s mental illness” and I get that there are monsters on the internet (I don’t think he believes that but was just trying to upset people)
but that’s not a good reason to assume the worst and treat people monsterously.
That mod accusing me of transphobia and whataboutism isn’t just wrong, but it’s monsterous. It’s intentionally hurtful.
You felt that but then tried to understand and communicate. That I appreciate.
I understand that I shouldn’t approach politically charged topics cavalierly or I’ll be misunderstood.
Wasn’t even tangentially related to whataboutism for the record.
