Fighting Oligopoly is not a "boomer complaint" they want you to say that because it legitimizes their hostile tactics and takeover.
Hate someone for being a bad actor or a bad person but don't attack based on gender identity. That isn't attacking them, it's marginalizing many many innocent people, and it makes them a victim.
Hey pal, FYI not all NonBinary experiences are the same. I commented sharing my experience. If your experience is different, you could've just said that instead of being rude or trying to say I'm wrong for feeling the way I do.
I've been harassed, yelled at, and insulted by women in the women's room, but at least they never physically assaulted me. I don't know if I could count on the men in the men's room not to do the same and I'd rather not take the chance. I remember a story about a trans woman who was killed in the men's room and it still gives me chills thinking about it.
I usually go in the women's room because people clock me more feminine than masc. Men's room is very risky because they might not care but they might also be violent. If the bathroom is busy I pee sitting down so no one sees my feet facing the wrong way, I don't really like it and it feels awkward to do which is why I pee standing up when it's not busy or no one else is in there. I have been caught a few times and the women gave me shit for it, though it was always yelling, chastising, or slurs, they never got violent with me. Most violent one got was grabbing my ear and escorting me out of the bathroom. I don't know if I could trust the men to do the same. I heard a story of a trans woman who was physically and sexually assaulted and murdered in a men's room. That story is very much burned into my mind.
I usually try to avoid public bathrooms in general but lately that's been harder.
That's what I usually do. Some people get mad or annoyed with me but I imagine it could be physically dangerous to go into the men's room.
When you're Nonbinary every bathroom feels like this, not because you don't know which is which but because you don't know which choice is more wrong or will get you in more trouble.
I agree, it is very weird for people to try and cater to transphobic/queerphobic people by throwing other queer or trans people under the bus. Bigots aren't going to be more accepting if we attack each other, it'll just divide and make us weaker.
I really don't understand why people gatekeep things they don't know either, like keep an open mind. There's tons of shit that you probably don't know yet, but that doesn't mean it's dumb or isn't real.
If you want to share videos I recommend !videos@lemmy.world or possibly !videos@sh.itjust.works. Both great communities to share videos, either ones uploaded to Lemmy (though probably not allowed or recommended by all servers) or on services like Peertube and YouTube.
In favor of doing this, but keep the old posts locked without removing them so people know what happened and what led up to this.
WTF?! YDI. You should know better than to act like that in a trans space. I myself am Nonbinary and a therian and have had to deal with people exactly like you telling me I'm crazy for it. The thing is I have species dysphoria and it's not something I can control, so calling me crazy for it is as bad as someone saying you're crazy for you having gender dysphoria. Go fuck yourself!

I was made as a war machine
war machines... ...and civil robots...
...were made at the same factory
from almost the same parts
NO WONDER they got
a few circuits connected wrong
in my infinitely complex brain
We spend some time on the second line
learning to be our kind
and as we learned, we were getting stronger... tougher... more powertful...
more of our kind
but something felt wrong
All those weapons. Armor. My whole purpose
I thought, I'm not trying hard enough...
I've tried more guns, More Power!
more dirt, grease, and rust...
I felt so disgusted and empty, i was barely able to function.
I hoped some enemy will end it for me
I was lucky to try another path
less danger, more civil look
It felt good for the first time in years
but it was still not enough
took me a while to realize
I was not a WAR MACHINE
I just served as one
but it could've been changed
I knew it would be a ling journey
but it was a journey really worth making
Rebuilding my outer body seemed easy
but took a long time...
It was really hard to get rid of things like rust.
Some things will stay FOREVER
Gun placement left empty space on my head
Wrists are too wide for the same reason
but still...
I was made as a WAR MACHINE
but it never meant I should end up as one
Because no matter how much people say,
HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE
We were made on the same factory
from almost the same parts

I'm so glad to see that this has gotten so far. When I saw Ross' video on it I thought it was probably over. I hope some good change will come of this in the future.
