"we need more amab nonbinary characters" "we need more afab nonbinary characters" i think we need more nonbinary characters y'all dont immediately scramble to shove into the socially-acceptable binary of your choice. personally.

writers who are making random male characters trans men specifically so they can bottom vaginally/get pregnant in smut, might you consider making him top? making him be an anal only bottom? sub top? dom? side? write him with a dick? write him with natal genitals that actually functions like the average trans mans? maybe even write out his transness as an actual plot point in the story and not just make him trans so he can get knocked up by a cis man? just a thought

A lot of people could benefit from realizing that the vast majority of the time, when someone says a space or resource is “AFAB only”, the thought that this might include trans men or nonbinary people who look masculine has not even remotely crossed their mind. When most people say “AFAB”, they are imagining cis women—and maybe, as an afterthought, nonbinary people that they are able to mentally categorize as basically cis women. Certainly, they never imagine someone who looks like or is a man. Any intersex person who doesn’t look like a cis woman or who didn’t experience growing up as a girl, definitely the furthest thought from their mind by a hundred miles.

the "the actions of one bad person is not representative of the entire demographic" leaving transandrophobes bodies the moment the bad person is trans man:

as a person under the agender/nonbinary umbrella I actually think the recently increased focus on a nonbinary person’s agab is insanely fucking uncomfortable and blatantly exorsexist. Stop trying to sort NB people into boxes of amab vs afab, transfem vs transmasc, tma vs tme, etc etc. It is not praxis or activism to keep attempting to binarize people whose entire identities are built around the fact that they DO NOT ADHERE to a binary. You are just being a fucking tar pit #sorry

If you are not a trans man or in active community with trans men in real life, you cannot comment on the lived experiences of trans men. Full stop.

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.

no matter how bad things get, the world is still a beautiful place because it has archive of our own in it
