Exactly, thank you! If I decide to wear a pink frilly skirt, it IS non-binary clothing. If I decide to wear a suit, it IS non-binary clothing. I hate that we have to prove ourselves at every corner or we aren't taken seriously. It's a god damn shame, and to be honest, it's why I no longer feel comfortable attending trans/gender differential support groups in person anymore. The first people to jump down my throat and accuse me of being a "special snow flake" are trans men. Always. I feel bad "generalizing" but I've literally been harassed when I've attended meetings, and I live in a liberal state.
My clothes, at this point, are androgynous/masculine which upsets me as I feel so limited just to be taken seriously, in my own damn community. It's draining and frustrating.
