#nonbinary post

Like little story time here.

So when I was but a young kindergarten lass I had a fun play friend named Jasmine now Jasmine was in the same class as me and we spent time together ALL THE TIME. We sat together in circle period, Snack time we'd share our lunches, and play time we were always each other's playmates. Not gonna lie it was pretty serious for a kindergarten relationship.

Now we were only friends at that time BUT I already knew there was no one other than her I'd love to spend my life with.

So one night as I'm having one my nightly chats with mother dearest as she braids my hair I tell her that I'm gonna marry Jasmine.

Immediately my deeply catholic conservative mother tells me:

Oh no sweetie. Girls can't marry girls. But I'm sure you'll both be very good friends!

As you can tell I was immensely disappointed. And I tell you this was where the little Gaylord in my head starting their scheming cause immediately after my sweet conservative Catholic mother uttered those words I began cooking up this idea in my head that I'd dress up as a groom and marry Jasmine. And let me tell you I had this all planned down to the shoes I'd be wearing. It was a mix of Gomez Addams and Mafia boss down to the pinstriped suit, black and white spats, mustache and all. The only thing that was missing was grey sideburns and a caramia.

Hell I even planned how we'd rendezvous at the park and get married in the little chapel then go to the petting zoo beside it.

It got to the point that I'd DREAM about it.

But then I changed classes and since my mother refused to network for me like she did with my other siblings I never heard from Jasmine again. Nonetheless, I still await the day where we can meet again and hopefully rekindle our spark.

Just a warning to anyone on TT, just came across an account (@ the_reasons_i_drink), which is run by a 'Grumpy Gay who calls out bullshit'.

Very blatant hatred for nonbinary people (the one I saw, at least. I can't speak for the rest of his videos), and summed up being nobinary to 'lol, privileged white woman with pastel hair wants to feel different' and said being nonbinary isn't real.

Odd, isn't it, how homophobia and transphobia can come from right in our own community. It hurts more, I think.

Just wanted to put that out there so anyone reading this can just block him so you don't see that on your for you page.

Not putting this out there to go attack him! His comments are filled with people agreeing with him. Just block and walk away. I'm just flabbergasted at how, in the year of 2024, this is still a problem for enby people.
