This term is used to describe someone whose gender identity or expression does not conform to what is expected based on the sex they were assigned at birth.

Whelp. TIL I am transgender.

Gender non-conforming – this term is used to refer to someone who does not conform to prevailing cultural and social expectations about what is appropriate gender expression for their perceived gender.

Wait... maybe I'm this?

Non-binary refers to people whose gender identity falls outside of the gender binary

So... what's the difference between this and the other stuff?

Genderqueer refers to people who have a non-normative or queer gender. Genderqueer is often used to refer to people who reject labels and conformity to specific gender norms.

What even is this? Genderqueer is the label for people who reject labels? Is this different from trans?

SRS is used by some medical professionals to refer to a group of surgical operations that alter a person’s biological sex.

Whoa. Are we affirming the reality of biological sex? This is dangerous.

Why do all the sexuality labels refer to 'emotional attraction'? What does 'emotional attraction' have to do with sexuality?

IKR? Has it really never crossed a "queer" or "non-binary" person's mind that everyone does not conform perfectly to sex stereotypes? Sorry to break it to 'em, but they're ordinary straight people. I understand why people dislike the term "snowflake", but it really does apply in this case.

I think people who believe in transgender ideology lack a lot of awareness about the perspectives of others-- they very much remain entrenched in their own, so it doesn't occur to them that actually, all around them, lots of people who they call "cis" actually do defy sex stereotypes and gender norms, on a regular basis. Research suggests that those who identify as trans and/or nonbinary are higher in certain ASD traits related to perspective-taking, I think-- and also systematizing, there was a paper I read about it.

Imagine being so narcissistic and socially inept to think you're the only person capable of having a personality independent of your "assigned" sex.

And the ironic part is that they actually are the ones who shape their entire personality around their sex and how much they hate it
