#gender-blind

Blindgender: a genderness that is blindness itself; a gender that you cannot see, behold, perceive, observe, understand, touch or find / when you can’t tell/discern if your gender(s) exist or not due to identity invisibility; a gender experience from a blind perspectivity; when you can’t look into your gender because there’s no internal conviction of what is your gender.

Invisigender: A gender experience that is for some reason partially or fully invisible.

Well! First disclosure, I’m not blind, so if I’m saying shit wrong or speaking over anybody, that is completely on me.

But a good post on why being “Gender-blind” is an issue in general is here, and to take the specific bit about gender-blind being ableist from there is, I quote:

The term “gender-blind” is ableist. Blindness is an actual condition, and people are oppressed for it. You don’t just get to steal their language so you can name your concept that’s already oppressive in other ways. Furthermore, there are ways to recognize gender without sight. Blind people are aware of gender.

I’m sure other people have expressed as much, though I admit I haven’t had huge luck digging it up. (I’ve also been a bit too busy for an intense search tho).
