“Ew. It looks like it stinks.”

I’ll have to admit, I looked at the cliffside pictures during the hype. I fell for the Streisand Effect in its original form.

“Don’t use bats like that. Not like that either!”

Imaginationland.

“not buying your ignorance explanation anymore, you seem really dismissive.”

Of course I’m going to eventually be dismissive toward someone that is antagonistic from the beginning. The second I lash back you play the victim. Get over yourself. You wanna see dismissive? Go …

Again, I said something out of ignorance. I learned from my mistake. You still insist on being a drama queen about it.

I hope you have a better day once you get over this drama.

I stand corrected; non-binary people are transgender. I apologize for my ignorance. I just didn’t know.

What I also don’t know is why you’re so angry. All that happened was I didn’t know something. I learned my mistake, apologized, and hope you’ll relax a little and realize that not everyone knows everything you do. Please don’t be mad at someone’s ignorance.

So true with the bi erasure; I have experienced that personally.

I, again, apologize for my ignorance. I didn’t realize the issues regarding the feelings people have about NB being trans or not. I have a limited experience with close friends explaining their views on the subject.

Thanks for the help. I love learning.

“I appreciate that you’re willing to learn more on the topic either way. I don’t think you’re an asshole but […]”

And I appreciate that you understand that not everyone knows everything. I apologize if I seemed in any way reductive or dismissive. That was not my intention. I was just saying what I learned from a NB person about their experience. I know that not everyone has similar experiences or opinions.

I never claimed to be an expert. I am admitting now that I am somewhat ignorant as to what the exact definitions are, but from what I understand from what my NB friend explained it is that if you transition from one gender to another that makes you trans. NB are neither gender so there was no transition between genders.

I guess one could make the argument that they transitioned from being gender-labeled to being non-gender, but IMO that’s a stretch in an attempt to label NB people as trans.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with being trans. I was just trying to make a distinction as was explained to me by a NB person.

Not necessarily. One can be non-binary and not be trans. I know someone that identifies as NB and they never “transitioned” into their current self. They’ve always been that way and never transitioned.

Edit: also, what’s with the vitriol? Is this such a contentious subject that you’re angry that I might have a view other than yours? Why does that make me an “asshole?”

I’m in a loud public place so I didn’t attempt clicking/listening, but I heard both those sounds/music in my head anyway. I spent too much time on that game as a kid.

Rip out the old guard with the ferocity deserved of the handle on your greatest enemy’s anal beads.

Ouch! I just imagined someone yanking out a strand of anal beads in the way they’d try to pull start a lawnmower.

There’s a gradient, not a cutoff.

Exactly! I was born on the cusp between two generations and am constantly seeing incorrect assumptions about “my” generation. We’re not all the same, and sometimes we mesh with the experiences of adjacent generations.

Being non-binary is not the same as being trans… and perhaps they were being downvoted for a different reason.

I always find it odd when people assume why someone is being downvoted. You never know why someone votes the way they do.

And when you insert it you hear the sound effect from when he goes down into a pipe.
