It’s basically “we made up gender roles, and they’re useless and harmful. Let’s just get rid of all of it, and let everyone express themselves however feels right”
It’s the only end goal that makes sense… Adding more labels helps people understand the box they’ve been forced into, but ultimately we just need to move past all of it
Yes, and that’s a trope that’s often used to invalidate the experiences of non binary people. We live in a society where gender does matter a lot and telling someone to stop caring about their own gender because it’s a social construct is transphobic. You can argue all you want about the meaning of gender, just don’t use it to invalidate nb or trans people, which is what the person I replied to was doing.
I don’t think that’s a fair reading of what they said at all
Gender is indeed irrelevant at all times. It doesn’t exist. It’s a set of expectations you impose on another person and have imposed on you… Realizing I don’t have to explain anything to anyone is my personal answer, I just need to stop forcing myself to pretend.
Gender roles exist, but only to people who believe in them. You can break them at any time. You don’t need a category, you can just be you, moment to moment.
I can’t think of a more accepting position for non-binary or genderfluid people… Some people need external validation, but ultimately it’s about how you see yourself
Other than peeing while standing being easier and my inability to give birth, I’m not sure I can come up with another 9.9% of the time to fill that gap.
Hot take: your gender is irrelevant in 90% of situations
Should be irrelevant even more often.
Fuck gender
Honestly I’d fuck anything at this point. Gender included.
Paige No!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
All my homies hate gender
For who? And what situations?

Hot take. You’re banned
This is a transphobic trope and you might want to educate yourself on non binary trans people.
Their stance sounds more like gender abolition…

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do, it do.
