no you know what, screw you and your close-minded approach to the world
I'm tired of this perception that trans persons and non-binary persons have to go out of their way to prove they are trans and/or non-binary.
you can literally be a really masculine trans woman and nobody has the right to tell you you're not trans enough. You can be a trans woman and still like sports and have short hair and blah blah blah, you don't have to PROVE your gender identity by forcing yourself to be as stereotypically feminine as possible. You can be a trans man and loathe sports and wear tight fitting t-shirts because you are not your stereotype, and you know what, neither am I.
and I don't have to prove I'm nongendered to anybody by forcing myself to be as androgynous as possible. If I'm too """masculine""" I'm accused of being trans and if I'm too """feminine""" I'm accused of being cis like there's no middle ground. Sometimes I like my more feminine qualities and I like to accentuate them, and sometimes I like my more masculine qualities and want to accentuate those. I'm sick of posting pictures of myself with a bow in my hair and being accused of not acting my appropriate gender identity. I can wear a freaking bow in my hair if I want, I can wear a bow in my hair and a sports t-shirt if I want because it doesn't matter. You don't dictate gender identity by physical appearance or behavior, you dictate gender identity by what your gut whispers in your ear, and if my gut tells me I'm nongendered, I'm freaking nongendered and that means I get to act, say, and dress however I want and you don't have the right to tell me I'm something that I'm not.
