whatever we do, we can't win. we can't be seen as actually nonbinary. people binarize us and often mock us or get aggressive or dismiss and ignore our nonbinaryhood or something else.

if we don't medically transition, we are "just cis trenders."

if we do medically transition, we are "just [binary trans] eggs."

we are "technically transmasc or transfem anyways" if we don't use these terms.

we are lumped together with binary trans men and trans women if we do use these terms. our nonbinaryhood is ignored or seen as some kind of "gender-lite."

we are aggressively pressured to disclose if we're AFAB or AMAB, TMA or TME, transmasc or transfem, "boy nonbinary" or "girl nonbinary." and if we refuse to answer, people get double mad at us and pick something for us anyways.

if we show the slightest hint of something that could be interpreted as binary gendered, we are immediately binarised.

if we put a lot of effort into looking the most ambiguous or androgynous or neutral, people still try to find something. and they become aggressive. people often EXPLODE [PT: explode] when they can't gender someone by glance.

our ways of expression are constantly mocked and ignored (like neopronouns, nonbinary-centering labels for gender and orientation, basically all things that are associated with nonbinary people).

but if we choose more typical ways of expression (for example, use "he/him" or "she/her" pronouns), people use it to ignore and dismiss our nonbinaryhood.

people. PEOPLE. as a tadc fan who is also tadc critical and has been interacting with that side of tumblr a lot as of late, not once have i ever seen anyone say we should report goose or that they reported goose for her actions. a lot of the things we criticized about her were about her show, which is on youtube, and the stuff she's said on other sites like twitter. not once have i seen anyone say they want her deplatformed, either-- only for her to take accountability, with a majority of us recognizing that she likely never will.

we don't know why she was banned, but we do know that staff has a habit of banning women for nothing other than the crime of being transgender and hiding behind the idea that they're inherently sexual content or something. goose, as a trans woman with a large platform and who creates content targeted at adults, was always going to be at risk for an unjust ban.

staff is transphobic. we know that staff is transphobic in general and that they've been gleefully showcasing their transmisogyny in particular.

the answer to this is to speak out about it and make sure staff knows we're angry about their transmisogyny.

the answer is NOT "this is all because a bunch of wokers decided to call her racist!"
