"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

happy nonbinary awareness week! one simple fact to start you off: in the majority of countries and territories around the world, nonbinary people are not recognised as a distinct legal gender—either as a single collective nonbinary gender, or as the whole spectrum it actually represents. If you do live in a country where nonbinary identity is legally recognised: that's brilliant! really! but please be aware of the privileges granted by having your gender be recognised on a legal level, which the majority of nonbinary people do not have.

happy nonbinary awareness week! another interesting fact for you to consider: not every nonbinary person uses they/them, and instead might find the idea of being referred to by they/them as misgendering. furthermore, referring to nonbinary people simply as "they/thems" is a form of malgendering, as reducing a group down to a set of pronouns flattens and simplifies an incredibly diverse group of individuals in the public view, makes it easier for people to assign stereotypes to them, and can obscure nonbinary issues down to the question of pronouns. it's best not to make assumption about what language a person is comfortable with simply from their gender; if in doubt, and if in a safe place to do so, just ask!

i am 100% convinced that mobile phone/ social media bans for under 16s are an attempt to remove kids and teens from public life. this is not protecting kids this is locking them in houses with no escape from their abusers. the world is so hostile to teenagers rn
