Nonbinary Problems - Tumblr Posts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You know how there's a stereotype about universities/colleges being super liberal and progressive?

Forget that.

On my way to class just now, I overheard some blatant enbyphobia. It was a conversation between three other students complaining about how nonbinary people should "just use Mr. or Mrs." instead of whatever titles or pronouns we actually feel comfortable with. They even tried to gender the word "professor" by creating a "female" counterpart: "professa." Not a real word, and "professor" is ALREADY GENDER-NEUTRAL. I bet they didn't realize they were walking right beside a nonbinary person since I'm not the stereotypical "blue hair and pronouns" enby. (There's nothing wrong if you do fit that stereotype. In fact, I think that aesthetic is pretty neat. I just happen to be pretty plain-looking.)

My campus is generally accepting of all different kinds of students, but idiots like these make me want to throw hands.

Can y’all stop acting like using it/it’s pronouns for people who WANT to use them is horrible?

I get it, you feel like it/it’s pronouns are dehumanizing, trust me, I know, you’re like the 99th person to say this to me

And I see this EVERY TIME when people say anything about using it/it’s pronouns,
