mischaracterizing gender noncoforming characters always rubs me the wrong way~I just feel it's going to set a gross precedent for not caring about trans voices past their transness (like ciswomen have had) & that it'll be a another hurdle that we as a community have to overcome in decades to come~😔

shared prison cells (ciswomen have been assaulted by trans inmates), and trans procedures for minors. The Democrats allowed a tiny, but loud and entitled fringe group on the left bully them out of common sense, which led to a lot of resentment from ppl who ultimately voted Trump or not at all.

I'm wondering if I'm a type of non-binary where I actually need to have my own type of personal style that is mostly very feminine, but also alt enough to feel like I look different form most ciswomen. Like Japanese elegant or gothic lolita style is close to what I feel would be most me.
