    I didn’t understand anything about what you wrote about yourself, but sounds cool.

    Welcome to the Lemmyverse 😄

    trans enby girl polyam lesbian gender terrorist

    Can you explain to us old farts what this actually means? Like I thought I knew what all the individual words mean but aren’t non-binary and girl mutually exclusive? And isn’t trans implied by enby anyway?

    I’d guess the shitty comments are from people dismissing this as a pile of buzzwords, hopefully if they can understand better then they’ll be less shitty :)

      imma assume you posted this in good faith (in which case you should read my other comment) and explain as best as i can:

      non binary and girl aren’t mutually exclusive because, among other reasons, non binary is a very large umbrella term (i’m he/they for example, so i could be described as an ‘enby guy’).

      trans and enby are two distinct groups:
      you can be trans, you can be enby, and you can be both.
      for example i don’t consider myself trans because i don’t want a different gender than the one i have, i just wanted to do it differently.

      as a rule of thumb this whole gender stuff is so loosely defined that it’s best to just accept that there will be things you don’t get and move on.
      the important part isn’t understanding someone, it’s not treating them like shit when you don’t
