hi, i'm vee i am 31 and live in england. i am queer and non binary but don't feel comfortable being called enby or trans masc. i have a partner who has a very good cat that i'm gonna live with when the world is less on fire. i will likely talk about knitting whilst fat and low income (on disability benefits and don't work), little bit of tarot and just day to day life chat.

just try to notice people's characteristics differently, then notice *how you perceive people differently* as a result.

if you are having difficulty with taking the gender binary out of your perception — struggling with perceiving your nonbinary friends as women or men, on a level below your conscience, for instance — this is an exercise that can help.

you have the power and the right to reinterpret your world. this is a simple way to do it: observably, there is height. observably, there is length.

that much is indisputable, even obvious. that means it is a kind of leverage, stable footing from which you can shift your unexamined biases and habits of perception.

women's sizes and men's sizes for the same garment conspire to create the idea that women and men are incomparable in size, as if the differences in size between women were some totally different kind of thing from differences in size between men.

likewise, we talk as if what is "short hair" for women is "long hair" for men... as if we don't all have hair that can be measured the same way with the same tools. and a woman and a man can be the exact same height, yet the woman is "tall" while the man is "short."

what all this nonsense serves to shore up is *the idea that it is obvious to divide people into women and men;* that men and women are clearly and starkly different; that there can be no ambiguity, no grounds for direct comparison between women's and men's objective characteristics.

but there is a single metric, height, which can be used to measure people; there is a single metric, length, by which hair may be measured. everyone's circumferences submit to the measuring tape.

This shouldn't even be a radical opinion, this shouldn't be a fringe ideology, it's remarkably simple and uncontroversial, but because of the context of our world, because of the stigmas built up so carefully by centuries of capitalism and imperialism, this seemingly simple tenant is widely vilified. People are afraid of socialism, communism, anarchism and so on because they've been conditioned their whole lives into believing that cynical belief in the individual above all. Opportunity means nothing at all in a world where nobody starts of on a level playing field.

A life with dignity ought to be guaranteed. Certain basic respects are owed to all people regardless of background, conditions, gender, nationality, ethnicity, or any other status. Necessities, basic ones, like food, clean water & air, rest, and shelter are simply not guaranteed under capitalism, and neither are many other human rights which are so flippantly ignored whenever it suits the ruling class' interests.

Try to remember that some people have a more complicated relationship with pronouns than you do.

Encouraging people in give pronouns in their bio is nice, but try not to be so heavy handed. It's rude to insist.

Instead, consider normalising the use of they/them for anyone who doesn't explicitly state their pronouns.

#InternationalPronounsDay

Seeing as it's #InternationalPronounsDay, I'd like to remind you that singular they/them are genderless pronouns by definition. These do not refer exclusively to any nonbinary gender identities, and do not belong to nonbinary people.

They/them can be used for anyone and everyone.

If you don't know what someone's preferred pronouns are, using they/them is always a gramatically correct choice, because these words refer simply to "this one person"

Hey so

My one girlfriend is a young trans girl living in NC. She is facing homelessness in like two weeks-ish, if not sooner. She doesn't have any options for an income because of her depression, there are no options for housing that either of us can find. Her abusive parents are actively violent and hunting her down and the pharmacy just refused to refill her estrogen. She's running out of options and neither of us know what to do.

If you could donate or reboost it would mean so fucking much to us. Even just a little bit, whatever you can manage.

My parents just threatened to make me homeless while I'm stuck in an expensive lease through July that they insisted I take. I rely on a bipap to breathe at night, and not having access to wall power could kill me. I think I need to ask for financial donations at this point so I can be financially independent from them and cut them out of my life.

My best friends, two trans guys both named Oliver, need help! They’re facing homelessness with their pets as their landlord is planning to evict them. They don’t have anywhere to go as they haven’t been able to find another apartment cheap enough to rent. They’re both disabled and mentally ill and only one of them is able to work.

Please boost and donate if you can. Their PayPal is pocketpawzrr@gmail.com #mutualaid #transcrowdfund
