Them: Binaries like man and woman are wrong, human existence is a lot more diverse than that! There is so much more to who we can be!
Me: YEEEEEEEEES!
Them: We need words for non-binary experiences, we need to describe how we experience unique forms of oppression for existing outside these boundaries.
Me: YEEEEEEEEES!
Them: We need to have clear fixed definitions and boundaries for this third space. You are either inside or outside. You either totally experience this oppression or you totally don’t. You are either one of Us or one of Them and that position is unchanging.
Me: Wait. no. back up. Back to the part where we were creating space for a more complex fluid understanding of the human experience?
Them: Also, let’s divide non-binary experiences into afab and amab as if your birth defines your whole lived experience forever. Let’s get non-binary markers on our passports. Let’s campaign for the state to use they pronouns for non-binary cops and soldiers. Let’s get companies to recognize non-binary consumers. Let’s gets non-binary people into political power …
Me: Ok, fuck this shit, I’m outta here.
