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.

Fighting Oligopoly is not a “boomer complaint” they want you to say that because it legitimizes their hostile tactics and takeover.

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.

Better way of saying it is that they are bigoted.

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 [email protected] or possibly [email protected]. 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.

Yeah contrast kind of sucks in a lot of the panels. Probably the only real criticism I had at all for this comic. Had to zoom all the way in to read some of them. Everything else about it though is awesome.

I’m glad you like it. It really is an awesome comic.

Unfortunately I’m sure my future self still won’t have cat ears or a tail 😢. We’re a long way off from that kind of genetic technology.

🤔 Umm… Could someone please explain this? I have no idea what this has to do with gender, or actually what folk punk is, I assume it’s like a mix of folk and punk music but I still don’t really know what that has to do with gender.

It really bothers me that he looks like a person in the 3rd and 4th ones but has no arms, it just looks so weird and unnatural.

Femboys are indeed the best alpha males.

You don’t need to answer that Turtle. The fifth amendment allows you to refuse to testify if you so choose.

This one simple trick will get you out of most bad situations in which you are being egged, it certainly got me out of plenty of really bad ones.

What’s Eurobeat? I don’t think I’ve heard of that before.

Polite: “No you were correct the first time”

Spicy version: “Wow thanks for deliberately misgendering me while trying to seem polite about it” *with as much sarcasm as I can muster

Both of these are equally justified in my situation being that I do wear pronouns, and I am quite obviously an androgynous enby. So in that manner this type of thing would very much be intentional.

When people do this it’s important to say something to them about it to send the message that what they did is not acceptable, otherwise it sends the message that “corrective misgendering” is acceptable or accepted when it isn’t.
