Cringe culture is dead :D

They see it as a binary; with only one option of it that you have to (according to them) fit into.

Some others, a bit more open-minded (or so they think), see it as such:

2 main options, with a middle one to please "everyone". If you don't fit into the binary, then you must be that third... thing. Because they won't dare to call it a gender.

But the truth is, this doesn't please anyone except them. No one wants to be "the compromise". Just as much as bisexuals aren't "the compromise" between heterosexuality and homosexuality.

In reality, gender looks more like this.

A blank canvas.

And it's up to you to fill it.

With what you feel. Or maybe you'll leave it white. Maybe yours is meant to stay blank. Maybe it'll have multiple colors. A few hues of your own making.

And maybe it'll form a beautiful gradient. Maybe it'll change with time, or depending on the day. Maybe you don't care about that canvas, you may even call it boring.

But no matter what it looks like, it's yours only.

Gender never was a binary. We can't categorize humanity's

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

Me: We have trixic (enby/women), toric (enby/men), enbian (enby/enby), and diamoric (enby/anyone). Please don't use yaori to refer to diamoric ships as it is not a word that came from the QL scene like yaoi and yuri did and was made up by people who don't know anything about QL and is just butchering a language.

Binary folks: Um AcTuAlLy [insert whatever bs excuse to not use non-binary centric terms for nonbinary ships]

Why do people have such an issue with non-binary terminology? We have our own words USE THEM!!!
