    Being non-binary is not the same as being trans… and perhaps they were being downvoted for a different reason.

    I always find it odd when people assume why someone is being downvoted. You never know why someone votes the way they do.

        How’d you get access to that? It seems to be a major pain in the backside (at least here in the UK as a person afab) getting anyone to actually take NBs seriously in terms of the medical side of things.

          I told them they were hurting my back, which had the advantage of being true. Also I saved up. Idc what people want to label shit as long as I’m able to do what I gotta do. In fact, I would argue the labels were the problem in the first place and we should stop making new ones and push the ones that exist back into the narrow context in which they’re actually useful.

        Not necessarily. One can be non-binary and not be trans. I know someone that identifies as NB and they never “transitioned” into their current self. They’ve always been that way and never transitioned.

        Edit: also, what’s with the vitriol? Is this such a contentious subject that you’re angry that I might have a view other than yours? Why does that make me an “asshole?”
