i think the conflation of the two groups gives people who essentially have no difference to their cis counterparts other than using nonstandard pronouns give to claim identity points and it sort of cheapens the discussion
Maybe my issue isn't so much actually the two groups being under the same umbrella I just think the needs of nonbinary/trans individuals who sort of actually live outside of the cis experience in meaningful, concrete ways should be prioritized
(Am i truscum??? What does that even mean??)

i'm not saying leave nonbinary people out of the discussion i'm saying they're separate discussions, you can be trans but not nonbinary, you can be nonbinary and not trans or whatever but like hmmmheist wrote:
like there's such a wide variety of nonbinary experience that's sort of veered the course of trans activism to a lot of more representative / symbolic discourse (pronouns, specifically) because there are nonbinary people who don't necessarily want to "transition" medically or socially or whatever, which is fine but just means like the lived experience is so different, so wedging is under the same umbrella does nothing for either group
like as much as i think labels are stupid on a personal level i think they serve a function in guiding/defining a movement politically, and i think the primary focus for trans people should be like, healthcare and BASIC human rights like not being murdered, rather than pronouns or what have you
idk if this makes any sense at all
nonbinary people need those resources too and not every binary trans person has the same experience either, yeah, neo pronoun discussions are stupid for the most part, but it seems weird to leave out nonbinary people of trans discussions, because things like health care, legal stuff,... concerns us too. disintegration wrote:
why tho? what is trans but the opposite of cis?
sure that's what the umbrella sort of means now but when i think of it i think the goals of trans(gender and sexual) people's goals/political needs are often different from individuals who are "nonbinary" -- which like , doesn't really have a definitionwhy tho? what is trans but the opposite of cis?
