Non-Binary Rant (~) 

I'm non-binary! My pronouns are they/them.

That means I am only correctly gendered by a few close friends because correcting off-binary means giving a dozen daily Gender 101 lectures to impatient/argumentative audiences who will assuredly continue to misgender me because language shifts are fucken hard.

Hell, I misgender myself pretty regularly, and I've been an enby for years now.

I don't hold it against people 'cause that takes a lot of energy, too. :blob_grinning_sweat:

@mawr Changing your own vocabulary is fucking hard. I've been trying to remove *christian derived swears from my curse bank for years... shit is hard.

Pronouns are hard.. language shifts are fucking hard.

*God, any references to other christian figures... because I'm not and never will be christian plus.. Gods damn them sounds so much better.. lets be honest.. why have one god damn someone when you can have multiple! :P
