Was having an adjacent discussion yesterday with friends regarding trans narratives. Particularly the way we self police and flatten out the messiness of gender because we don’t want to give ammo to anti-lgbt jerks. How that eliminates space for different narratives too.

Yeah :/ I been having those adjacent thoughts as well and, am a little sheepish abt this, perhaps it says something of that flattening that I'm not confident enough of my own enby-ness as a nonbinary woman (or exactly super out) to speak of to that side of things more explicitly.

But like I've been having the thoughts about chinese memoirs for over a decade and gender thoughts for far less, so.... I don't feel my own tentativeness is wholly unreasonable in a must get over myself now kind of way.
