calling….NB ppl “femme aligned” or “masc aligned” is so wild bc….… . the entire point is being….not aligned….to the binary………… . ..like if ur NB and you like to use one of those terms to describe yourself that’s your business and ok but I am seeing it used 99% to decide whether or not a NB person can claim certain sexual identities and I’m gonna SCREAM
Again, NB people are obviously within their rights to choose the labels they wish to associate with, but I am seeing people use “masc/femme aligned” to invalidate other people’s sexual identities, and to fit into a certain “alignment,” it seems to be coming down to what pronouns a person uses, which is a difficult thing for NB to subscribe to often, or how a person dresses, and when we’ve reached a point of telling NB to dress a certain way to match and claim an identity, we’ve really come full circle to being just as bad off as we were before.
