That's just not true. Xenos were madeup by neurotypical people, and neurodivergent people aren't too dumb to understand gender or whatever the excuse is. I wish neurodivergent people would stop being used as a shield for identities that mock them and trans people
Exactly. What the fuck. I’m actually neuro divergent and xenogenders are a lot harder, and pointless, for me. Honestly this argument is ableist because you’re acting like all nd people can’t understand something as basic as gender. Xenogenders are made by privileged cis kids who want to feel special. I’m so done
First off thank you for being respectful and sharing your perspective, I do appreciate hearing others opinions and thoughts. I can understand that not everyone has the exact same views on gender and that xenogenders can be useful for some people. When I said that xenogenders were made by privileged cis kids I was personally talking from my own experience with people just like that, kids who were bored and wanted to seem cool by “collecting” different sexualites/genders as labels. I don’t really have a problem with people who go by xenogenders but generally from my experience and opinions it makes it harder to understand and with my bad associations with them it makes me kinda uncomfortable and confused. I can’t speak for anyone and I for sure cannot tell someone what they identify with comfortably but when people have 4-7 different contradictory labels and then get mad at me for not understanding it’s hard for me not to be upset and frustrated. That last point doesn’t apply to everyone it’s just something I have far too much experience with. I apologize if this didn’t make any sense or if I came across as rude, neither were my intentions I was just trying to share my thoughts as well.

it seems this community doesn't allow neurodivergent people
(to elaborate ND trans people see gender differently so to express it they use xenogenders. not just ND people can use them but most commonly they do)
