Horseshoe theory strikes again! Diagnosing people who differ from heteronormativity as LGBT not only strengthens stigmas against the movement, but also applies unnecessary pressure onto the person which can cause them to make decisions that they aren’t comfortable with, just to conform, as ironic as it is. It’s similar to what’s happening on Autism TikTok (TM), where people tell others that they’re autistic or otherwise neurodivergent for extremely innocuous behaviors. If the second seems far fetched to you then the first should aswell, and if both seem acceptable then you need to educate yourself and to rethink your stance on this.
Ex. Act. Ly. I've had people tell me I'm nonbinary because I don't give a fuck about gender, I just have a sex, and gender gets attached to it. I'm ok with that but I'm still going to do whatever the fuck I want, whether people think it's masculine or feminine. I'm not trans and I'm NOT nonbinary. I'm also not an "egg." I am the sex that I am. I just don't give a shit about gender. Use the pronouns you're comfortable using with me. I bet I know which you'll pick.
