A day in non-binary land by Dodger Hargrove's
It was a beautiful day in non-binary land, the sun and the moon were in the sky, the flowers could not decide whether to come out and bloom, the birds were walking as they identified as dogs, the cats were trying to fly as they identified as birds and the dogs were trying to walk on two legs as they were trans species.
Mx non-binary was happy, they were off to an important conference and spent time getting ready, to look their best.
They set of down the road and as they turned the corner, Mr. Happy was on the other side, âGood Morning Sirâ said Mr. Happy cheerily.
âTransphobe, bigotâ shouted Mx Non-binary, âMisgendering is violence, canât you tell I am non-binary?â
âOh, I am sorryâ said Mr. Happy âBut how can I tell?â
Mx Non-binary glared as they replied â I am wearing my They / Them earrings, eye shadow, lipstick and nail varnish, how can you not tell?â
âBut you have a beardâ replied Mr. Happy, âcanât men wear eyeshadow, lipstick, nail varnish and earrings?â
âTransphobe, bigotâ replied Mx non-binary and they hurried off. As they passed the bakers, they felt hungry and popped in for some snacksâ\.
âGood morning Mx non-binaryâ said the Baker; Mx non-binaryâs chest puffed with pride, as validation of ones lived experience was the ultimate in identity politics, âWe have some nice Chocolate cakeâ said the Baker!
âRacist, Racist, imperialist, colonial racistâ shouted Mx non-binary, âChocolate is a racist term and workers are paid a pittance under slave conditions on the plantationsâ.
The Baker, clearly rattled hastily rewrote the sign which now said â Ethically sourced, climate friendly Cocoa flavored cakeâ Mx non-binary brought a Vegan Sausage roll. Oat milk, soy Macchiato and strode happily off.
As they turned the corner, Mx non-binary spotted Little Miss Lesbian coming towards them â bigot, transphobe, homophobe â shouted Mx non-binaryâ
Little Miss Lesbian looked rattled, âWhat have I done?â she said looking very upset. âYou refused to have sex with me, last week at the LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ party, as you said you donât like Penis, but its not a Male Penis, it a Female clitorisâ said Mx non-binary âTherefore your a bigot, transphobe, homophobeâ.
Little Miss Lesbian run off crying and very upset.
The bus stop was in sight and Mx non-binary quickened their pace as the No 69 Bus could be seen in the distance. They hopped on the bus and sat down.
The bus driver set off and over the intercom, issued a hearty â Good morning Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girlsâ This was to much for Mx non-binary, who shouted at the top of their voice â bigot, transphobe, misgendering is violenceâ and vowed to write a formal complaint to the bus company in regard to their non inclusion and diversity of LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ people, who as a minority deserved to be fully recognized in inclusive language.
Mx non-binary ate their vegan sausage roll and drank their oat milk, soy macchiato and felt good as the bus pulled up outside the conference center
They stood and looked in awe; the sign said âUK Labour Party Conferenceâ and it was truly a safe space, a conference of diversity, equality, minorities where Black Lives Mattered and comrades, trans comrades, non-binary comrades and LGBTQ2SIXXXX+++ comrades were valued, as this was a party for the many , not the few.
Little did they know.
