Do you use the word “trans” when talking about nonbinary people?

    Nonbinary person here, and yes nb people are trans. You’re transitioning from one gender to another.

    Trying to assert otherwise, and playing semantic word games, especially when we’re all being so heavily targeted right now, is reckless and stupid. Whether an individual non-binary person feels a strong connection of the word transgender is their business, but we should all be banding together and meeting the fucking moment. Not atomizing ourselves further

            sometimes I wonder if I’ll miss them someday but then I saw an ad the other day for bras that was like our bras fit all shapes!

            • too small on top
            • too small on the bottom
            • too big on the sides
            • flat
            • pointy
            • Long
            • lumpy
            • point down
            • point up
            • point out
            • point in different directions

            and for only $80 per bra!

            I’m a little grateful they’re gone after seeing that.

        You might not have medically transitioned, but surely you socially transitioned in some way. Changed your name and/or pronouns? Altered the way you dress, perhaps?
