is there any explanation for the reasoning as to why a good deal of tansmed/trusscum believe non-binary people aren’t trans?
speaking as someone who sometimes identifies as nonbinary now, who didn’t believe that nonbinary people were a thing, back in our 20s…
It’s because new ideas are scary and hard to process and fit into your already formed perception of the world.
A lot of us Sinister System’s age grew up barely knowing that you could be *gay* let alone *transgender* and nonbinary was just completely out there.
Gender ideas are really baked into a lot of people and we never got that scoop of nonbinary as a kid. Men were men, women were women. We were taught (abused) into believing it was an immutable fact.
Fuck I genuinely think I didn’t know what trasgender WAS at all until I was like 18. I’m serious.
Learning new ideas and integrating them into your belief system is hard and it never happens for some people.
