Anyhow, I didn't finish watching the video Cindi posted at ERA, and I totally see where she's coming from, but I do support non-binary, gender-queer people. I personally don't view them as trans at all. I mean they aren't, by definition. In fact most of my non-conforming friends are cis and in same sex relationships.
I don't fully get it. I don't practice it. I get how it can super annoying and confusing. But at the end of the day, binary (fuck the censor) representation *is* a social construct. Asking people to present one way or the other *is* a form of policing. Making an effort to pass one way or the other *is* ultimately a way blend into ages old social norms constructed by straight people.
I get how frustrating it is for a trans man/women who worked so hard to play by the rules. But if the current trend continues, the future is without rules. The lines are getting increasingly blurred, and if this crazy tumblr generation continue doing what they're doing, then maybe everyone will be too exhausted even think about it. Maybe some day you can be whatever goddamn person you want to be without having to explain yourself.
But then again maybe future president Bannon will bring the apocalypse and every queer and/or person of color will die at the hands of neo-nazis.
Who knows. Who cares. Live and let live.
It's what LBGT people wanted, but now that they're starting to get the traction they fought for, are seriously going to oppress a new wave of thought? Who gets to decide "this is it. Current definitions are set in stone. No more new rules. Can't have more."?
It's so ironic.
