can we stop defining nonbinary people by pronouns?

you can call yourself a thembo or a she/they or a gentlethem all you want, heck, i sometimes do something like this, but maybe don't apply these terms universally.

we are more than our pronouns and a lot of people act like that's all we are, including some trans people, including some nonbinary people.

i'm remembering a post i saw talking about nonbinary representation. they said how a piece of media has "all kinds of nonbinary people", then started listing different sets of pronouns - and nothing else, like we're nothing more than that. not to mention every pronoun set they listed was either they/them or some combo of he, she and they. no it/its, no neopronouns, no nothing, basically implying that people who don't use he, she or they aren't part of "all kinds of nonbinary people".

also remembering someone saying how "they/she" is somehow a specific gender and nope, you're probably wrong. pronouns don't equal gender and people who use they/she pronouns can be any gender.

also, just because a nonbinary person, real or fictional, uses the same pronouns as me doesn't mean i relate to them, that they represent me, that we share experiences.

a lot of nonbinary people who also use they/them experience gender very different from me or not at all, have different lived realities as me, look different than me etc. and there are people who i deeply relate to on a gender level but we use different pronouns.

representation isn't done after including a few pronoun sets, because nonbinary people are more than pronouns. it's just another way to put nonbinary people into neat monolithic boxes.

maverique representation in our tags

i've seen a few people talk about the fact that maverique tags on social media tend to be either maverique 101 content and/or content by non-maveriques rather than actual maveriques talking about our own experiences or even just existing or whatever, and i've talked about this too.

it's frustrating because a lot of people believe that we don't actually exist, that maverique is just some empty gender that was coined 10 years ago but no one actually identifies as.

and personally when i post online, there's not too much i can say that is very specific to my maverique experience. a lot of the stuff i talk about applies to a lot of other abinary people too, if not nonbinary people as a whole.

but you know what? if you talk about something you experienced, if you talk about your gender, just tag it as maverique. even if it technically can apply to other nonbinary people too. even if you didn't use the word maverique doesn't actually come up in your text, picture, video or whatever else.

because if you're maverique and you talk about your gender, you're already talking about your maverique experience. you tag it to show people you're coming from a maverique perspective.

i personally often flip flop between calling myself maverique or just nonbinary but even when i don't use the word maverique in my content i still tag it as maverique, so our tag is actually populated by us and not just 101 content.

i can only encourage other maveriques to use the maverique tag as much as possible. i don't want to be the main person in the maverique tag on instagram, lol.

at the same time, i'd like to ask non-maveriques not to tag general nonbinary or trans stuff as maverique. if you're actually posting maverique content, like people asking you to design a maverique flag or symbol, that's fine. but there's a tendency for people to post very general stuff like "support our trans siblings" or "nonbinary people are valid" and tagging it with as many specific gender labels as possible. while it's nice of you to acknowledge our existence, it drowns out our own voices from our tags and makes it harder to find content from other maveriques. this is true for other less common labels too.

when i needed a doctors note for my name change, they called me "biologically AGAB, but identifies as gender neutral". I'm not neutrois.

when i needed another note from a different doctor, she kept saying that my gender is "undetermined" or that i "didnt want to choose a gender". I'm maverique.

granted both of them were well meaning and made my legal transition easier and neither of them have dealt with enbies before but still.

this is exorsexism.

i think it's insane that nonbinary people went "hey i'm trans, i'm just not transitioning to one of the two very specific ideas of gender you have in your head" and so many cishet people and transmeds went "ah so you're not trans, you're just quirky." like hello? i literally started the sentence with "i'm trans" are you okay? people can transition in more than just one of two extremely specific ways, carol.

if you have nonbinary friends , please ask them what their personal gender looks like to them before assigning your idea of nonbinary to them . not all nonbinary people use they/them , not all nonbinary people are gender neutral , not all nonbinary people are genderless , not all nonbinary people are androgynous , some people under the nonbinary umbrella dont even call themselves nonbinary . the whole thing about nonbinary is that its not a set thing . it's not another box , its a placeholder for a billion unique experiences

Just a wee reminder that the first recording of neopronouns was 1789, one of the oldest noted examples of neopronouns were 'thon'! And also remember the key word 'recorded' so that means neopronouns could've existed even WAY before that

(Edit! Thon was actually created in 1858! And in 1789 it was 'ou', sry for not updating that quick enough 😅)

Don't mind me I'm just getting emotional over the lego store in times square (USA) having an aro flag included in their pride display T-T

ID: a display of various pride flags made out of legos, including the bi, trans, agender, intersex, polysexual, lesbian, leather, nonbinary, demisexual, pan, aromantic, genderfluid, asexual, maverique, genderqueer, rainbow, and men loving men flags. The progress pride flag forms a border around the other flags. End ID.

I know I've missed some, and new ones will probably pop up. So tag them in the comments/reblogs, and I'll update the post.

I used this post to help me out.

There's a maximum amount of blogs I can tag. As more blogs are added I'll untag earlier ones and leave a link to them instead.

Update: 12/4/2024

I recommend you check that you're rebloging the most updated version.

[our-abinary-experience]

"abinary people can be gay, lesbian, veldian & straight" & "orientations that are explicitly inclusive of abinary people need more visibility and to be taken more seriously" are two statements that can and should coexist.

i see way too much "abinary people can be lesbian etc." and not nearly enough people lifting up orientations that are more explicit in our genders or in people's attraction to us. tbh, this is true for midbinary genders too. there's way more "nonbinary people can use [orientation with binary connotations]" and not enough "look at these orientations that honour us".

trixic, toric, enbian and other mestric labels for specific genders deserve as much love as lesbian, sapphic, gay, achillean, veldian.

not to forget there are many people who are both! for some people, "gay" just doesn't tell the full story and they might identify as a toric gay specifically.

all abinary experiences of orientation deserve visibility.

i saw a reel the other day with the audio saying something like "i'm a woman the way pluto is a planet, i'm not, but i used to be, some people insist i still am and from some angles i might look like one" (and possibly more)

i can't find it anymore but as a trans mav this makes me wanna claim pluto

given how alienating and dehumanizing the trans experience can be, is there really any question as to why so many of us identify as nonhuman? come on, now

[this-is-exorsexism]

welcome to this is exorsexism.

this is an account to highlight exorsexism, so that more people learn to recognise it when it's happening and we can fight it better.

what happens here is that i will post examples of exorsexism here as i encounter it, as well as submitted examples. this can be stories of exorsexism of offline or online exorsexism. if not immediately clear, i may provide an explanation of how something is exorsexist.

this is also a safe space for nonbinary people to vent or rant about exorsexism.

you can submit exorsexism you encountered to me via submissions or asks. if you send a screenshot of someone being exorsexist, please make sure to crop or censor any identifying information such as their username and profile picture. this account is for educational purposes and for nonbinary people to vent their experiences, not to send harassment to anyone.

exorsexism from within nonbinary and wider transgender communities is also welcome as that too needs awareness.

not sure if something you want to submit counts as exorsexism? submit it anyway and we can talk about it. and if you think your exorsexism experience isn't "bad enough" to be submitted: yes, it is.

credit where credit is due: this account is very much inspired by @exorsexistbullshit who sadly hasn't been active in going on 5 years, as well as casualableism on instagram.

submission rules:

since this is a blog to highlight a form of bigotry and oppression that also often intersects with other forms of oppression, a "no bigotry" rule doesn't make sense here. however, being bigoted towards bigots is not welcome here. this includes calling bigots or bigotry -phobic (i.e. "homophobia"), narcissistic, delusional, lame, blind, cr*zy, st*pid and more.

the key difference here is whether you are quoting bigotry you have encountered or whether you're being bigoted as well.

i am multiply disabled and we don't do that kind of thing here, so if i ignored your ask or blocked you, that's probably why.

what is exorsexism?

in short, exorsexism is the oppression of and bigotry against nonbinary people. it is essentially sexism directed at nonbinary people. furthermore, it also includes the hatred of anything heavily associated with nonbinary people, like certain pronouns. exorsexism ranges from the erasure of nonbinary people to outright hostility. there are many different kinds of exorsexism as there are many different kinds of exorsexism. exorsexism affects the whole range of nonbinary gender identities, including but not limited to agender, multigender, genderfluid, aporagender & xenogender people, as well as androgynes, nonbinary men & nonbinary women.

here's an incomplete list of examples of exorsexism:

- nonbinary erasure, not just erasure of all nonbinary people, but also of more specific gender identities

- forcing nonbinary people into the gender binary or creating new gender-related binaries to force us into (e.g. amab/afab, masc/fem, men/non-men, cis/trans)

- thinking gender can't be fluid

- thinking everyone has to have a gender

- thinking nonbinary identities are new, a trend, a choice, a phase or a way to try and be special

- erasing exorsexism as a specific form of oppression

- thinking nonbinary people have to look a certain way

- centring binary people & experiences in communities that have historically included us

- mocking they, it and neopronouns

- thinking that "everyone is a bit nonbinary"/reducing nonbinaryhood to gender nonconformity

- thinking nonbinary people are just deviations from binary genders, i.e. men & women lite

[goth-brushbug]

This one goes to all trans nonbinary/genderqueer ppl whose identity is constantly erased and put into boxes labelled transfem/transmasc, etc, even by other queer ppl

I love you agender, maverique, neutrois, transneutral, abinary, gendervoid, androgynous, genderfluid, demigender, unlabeled/any other identity that is completely outside of the binary and/or genderless

Pls stay strong, don't let anyone define you

I know there are more labels and that some ppl might use mixed ones like transneumasc. Feel free to interact if this post is relatable to your experience
