I went looking for a gender-neutral replacement for niece / nephew and encountered "nibling" which seems great to me.

#Enby folks, would you be on board with an older relative describing you as their nibling? Is there a term you like better?

Can people please stop using the categories "men" and "femmes" or "men" and "women and femmes" to describe people's experiences/social norms as if all people fit into those two groups and there is no more nuance to lived experiences!?

Man and masc are not synonymous.
Masc women exist and absolutely experience misogyny.
Femme men exist and often have different experiences than gender conforming men.
Trans/nonbinary people experience transphobia and misogyny regardless of if they are masc, femme, or neither.
Factors like race, disability, socioeconomic status, where people live, queerness (and if queer people "pass" as cis and/or straight), and many more effect how people move through the world and are treated! Ignoring intersectionality is ignorant, offensive, and alienates people with multiple disenfranchised identities from discussions of topics where their input/experiences are some of if not the most important!

I don't care if you are trying to make a broad/general statement and dichotomizing those two groups makes it easier for you- it does massive amount of harm and hinders any meaningful discussion of disenfranchisement based on gender and/or presentation.

Just. Fucking. Stop.

Hello... I've only :mastodon: & 🦋 accounts...

...I left TwiX several years ago & will NEVER return...

...however... I'm trans & neurodivergent...

...I wanted to find local groups & Facebook was my only real option, but they blocked me cos ironically I don't seem human to their computer algorithms...

...so I thought I'd post this hoping trans/enby & nd folk reading this, esp in SE Wales, will reach out please. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈♾️🙂

Rain’s falling, coffee’s hot, glue’s setting...
I’m barefoot on the wooden floor, wrapped in cozy vibes and nonbinary power 💛🤍💜🖤

Whipped up this DIY anklet in full Enby colors... 5mm paracord, snug fit, magnetic clasp with a silver Enby charm that clicks with attitude.
Secured it with UHU Plus 2k epoxy(clear, of course—gotta keep that clean aesthetic) and yeah... it's not just an accessory, it’s a statement.

No, you won’t see my foot...for now...
But just know it’s rocking that anklet like a runway, flexing every step, every toe curl, every sassy arch.
Pride doesn’t whisper, darling... it struts 😏
