Cause according to actual statistics from real anti-abuse orgs these are things that a worrying level of trans people are actually subject to. More so than even cis women.

I am so proud of Taiwan we are the first in Asia 😆😆😆

“I don’t know what you mean”

“I’m not familiar with the concept”

“The results are inconclusive”

“I’ll get back to you on that”

Repeat different variations of “what?” and “huh?” until they give up

Laugh hysterically until they give up

“That’s what they all say”

“Explain”

“I plead the fifth”

“I forget”

Gasp in an offended manner and walk away

Even though a lot if NB representation (which is lacking anyway) is directed towards AFAB folks, your identity is in no way less valid.

Even if you’re outward presentation is very masculine, you’re still Nonbinary

You are Amazing and Fantastic just how you are!

Also AFAB nb folks, you’re just as incredible! Love to all NB people on this blog!

People want to cry “even the populations of concern??” but the fact is they were almost never of concern until colonizers started overhunting. The decline of the polar bear in North America (and in most of its range) is a perfect example of how in very little time, white colonizers decimated a healthy population of animals that indigenous people had been responsibly surviving on for hundreds and often thousands of years.

It doesn’t just stop at us white people letting indigenous people hunt for subsistence though. It’s extremely important that we ask for and use indigenous knowledge and ideas when we create hunting laws and treaties. We need to hand over the power.

Again, the international agreement on polar bears is a good example of indigenous hunting traditions and knowledge being used to actually make informed decisions on hunting regulations.

I’m not trying to lecture or inform OP, but to make sure white people reading this understand how important it is that moving forward, indigenous communities are included in hunting regulations and treaties, because it is not their fault their survival has been threatened by colonial overhunting, and often they have vital knowledge about species range, migration, populations, and behaviors that non-native biologists haven’t figured out yet.

Here is a read on why the largely held white idea on “saving the animals” (especially seals that advocacy groups love to claim indigenous people club constantly, all the time) is a racist, misinformed, tunnel-vision view of a much larger picture made of way bigger problems:

I say it a lot, but it deserves repeating:
