It angers me so much, especially as a non-binary person. that gender neutral and androgynous are, ironically, masculine. But if a NB person wears a dress, their gender identity is questioned, especially by those in the trans community.
Short hair, rail thin, masculine colors, masculine clothing.... and that is gender neutral?
Don't get me wrong, I am not insulting any NB that expresses themselves this way, what I am getting at is that we, as a community, need to make sure NB and trans people who do dress in what we see as feminine, are still gender neutral. I have been in many arguments with the trans community and support groups I have been quite literally chased out of about the "legitimacy" of NB people who dress in "feminine" clothing.
Pink is gender neutral
make up is gender neutral
dresses are gender neutral
All body types are gender neutral
All haircuts are gender neutral
////everything is gender neutral if you stop putting binary genders into a name///
I feel like a lot of NB and trans people are excluded or are made to feel uncomfortable in the community because they are forced to subscribe to this one ideal of gender neutralism, and it's unfair and can be dangerous.
What do you guys think?
