so yknow the "AAA battery" joke with aspec identities? well there's a lot of versions of that whether its Aro/Ace/Agender or Aro/Ace/Autistic, but... theres so many other A's too: Abro, Aplatonic (and other Aspec orientations), Androgyne, Abinary, Atrinary, Alterhuman, ADHD and more- you get it.
so, i wonder... how many As can one battery have???

Some nonbinary people don't have a gender.
Some nonbinary people are a third gender.
Some nonbinary people are both a man and a woman.
Some nonbinary people are between man and woman.
Some nonbinary people are a few genders at once.
Some nonbinary people change their gender periodically.
Some nonbinary people have different amounts of gender.
Some nonbinary people have a little bit of a certain gender.
Some nonbinary people don't understand their gender.
They are all nonbinary.
(I'm sure I missed some, and for some more than one may resonate. Add in your own!)

i hand stitched top surgery scars onto the build-a-bear i’ve had since i was 7
i remember i got him on my birthday
i used pink embroidery floss i got so long ago that i can’t remember who gave it to me, but i know it was for making friendship bracelets
the needlework is a bit wonky
the seams are a bit lumpy
it was dark in my childhood room while i worked. everyone else is asleep. i should be too.
but i sat on the floor and stitched top surgery scars onto my bear so that one day, we’ll match

"I've been thinking recently about the first ever trans space I was ever actually a part of, Bigender.net. My experience was primarily with these forums in ~2009, but I came back to peek in later years, and am trying to regain access now. There's a lot of bigender cultural things there that would probably never be known about or archived somewhere easily accessible unless someone talked about what they saw there, and I wanted to share some things.
+ A Lot of people used two or more names that they switch up, use in different contexts, and that often align with specific genders. Names are essentially changed like pronouns are for many people.
+ Most bigender people seemed to experience some kind of fluidity or flux of gender, and it was rarer for people to feel like 100% both at all times. This seems to be more often where people label themselves androgynes.
+ The language of "en femme" and "en homme" was used to describe both how one was presenting (similar to the modern boymoding/girlmoding) and to how one felt their gender on a specific day, which is what makes it different from girlmode/boymode. It wasn't just about presentation regardless of gender, but presentation as related to gender.
+ Plurality became so common over the years as a framework of bigender expression that a whole subforum for plurality emerged on these forums. Lots of plural bigender folks would experience having a "girl side" and a "boy side" in a dual system.
+ There were just as many bigender folks who experienced a neutral/other/middle gender experience besides just being male/female. It really wasn't limited to 2 genders, even if at the time it was very male/female bigender focused."

people thinking that all afab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards masculinity and all amab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards femininity.
this is exorsexism.
this idea is often used to justify using the terms transmasculine and transfeminine in some kind of universally applicable way, but it's based on a gross oversimplification of the gender spectrum as a slider between male and female/masculine and feminine.
there is an infinite number of directions for an amab nonbinary person to go in. femininity is not the only one just because the gender binary says so. they could transition into an in between space, considering themself androgynous rather than masc or fem. they could transition into neutrality. they could transition into nonbinary masculinity. they could transition out of gender altogether. they could transition into a gender that has no ties to the binary. they could transition into fluidity. they could transition into an infinite number of things. the same is true for an afab nonbinary person.
take xenogenders for example. if an afab nonbinary person identifies as a specific xenogender, they'd be considered more masculine than before, but if an amab nonbinary person identified as the exact same gender, they'd be considered to be more feminine than before, even though most xenogenders aren't inherently masculine or feminine. not all nonbinary genders consist of a balance of masculinity and femininity.
when i came out, i didn't move towards the opposite of my AGAB by virtue of moving away from my AGAB. i am now equally far away from both.
the gender spectrum is not linear.

The "A" in LGBTQIA+ stands for all "A" identities, such as Aromantic, Asexual, Agender, and also Androgyne!
As nobody seems to know / nobody (almost) ever mention us as a part of the acronym, I will for everyone.

ppl are literally so shitty about multigender people particularly boy+girl multigender ppl and i dont think they even realize it
saying boys cant be lesbians excludes us
saying girls cant be gay dudes excludes us
saying you cant be straight and gay or straight and lesbian at the same time excludes us
saying "non-men loving non-men" and "non-women loving non-women" excludes us
saying lesbian and gay are inherently inclusive of nonbinary people while also saying lesbians cant love men and gay dudes cant love women excludes us
having "men dni" or "women dni" on ur nblw/wlw and mlnb/mlm blogs excludes us

welcome to this is exorsexism.
this is an account to highlight exorsexism, so that more people learn to recognise it when it's happening and we can fight it better.
what happens here is that i will post examples of exorsexism here as i encounter it, as well as submitted examples. this can be stories of exorsexism of offline or online exorsexism. if not immediately clear, i may provide an explanation of how something is exorsexist.
this is also a safe space for nonbinary people to vent or rant about exorsexism.
you can submit exorsexism you encountered to me via submissions or asks. if you send a screenshot of someone being exorsexist, please make sure to crop or censor any identifying information such as their username and profile picture. this account is for educational purposes and for nonbinary people to vent their experiences, not to send harassment to anyone.
exorsexism from within nonbinary and wider transgender communities is also welcome as that too needs awareness.
not sure if something you want to submit counts as exorsexism? submit it anyway and we can talk about it. and if you think your exorsexism experience isn't "bad enough" to be submitted: yes, it is.
credit where credit is due: this account is very much inspired by @exorsexistbullshit who sadly hasn't been active in going on 5 years, as well as casualableism on instagram.
submission rules:
since this is a blog to highlight a form of bigotry and oppression that also often intersects with other forms of oppression, a "no bigotry" rule doesn't make sense here. however, being bigoted towards bigots is not welcome here. this includes calling bigots or bigotry -phobic (i.e. "homophobia"), narcissistic, delusional, lame, blind, cr*zy, st*pid and more.
the key difference here is whether you are quoting bigotry you have encountered or whether you're being bigoted as well.
i am multiply disabled and we don't do that kind of thing here, so if i ignored your ask or blocked you, that's probably why.
what is exorsexism?
in short, exorsexism is the oppression of and bigotry against nonbinary people. it is essentially sexism directed at nonbinary people. furthermore, it also includes the hatred of anything heavily associated with nonbinary people, like certain pronouns. exorsexism ranges from the erasure of nonbinary people to outright hostility. there are many different kinds of exorsexism as there are many different kinds of exorsexism. exorsexism affects the whole range of nonbinary gender identities, including but not limited to agender, multigender, genderfluid, aporagender & xenogender people, as well as androgynes, nonbinary men & nonbinary women.
here's an incomplete list of examples of exorsexism:
- nonbinary erasure, not just erasure of all nonbinary people, but also of more specific gender identities
- forcing nonbinary people into the gender binary or creating new gender-related binaries to force us into (e.g. amab/afab, masc/fem, men/non-men, cis/trans)
- thinking gender can't be fluid
- thinking everyone has to have a gender
- thinking nonbinary identities are new, a trend, a choice, a phase or a way to try and be special
- erasing exorsexism as a specific form of oppression
- thinking nonbinary people have to look a certain way
- centring binary people & experiences in communities that have historically included us
- mocking they, it and neopronouns
- thinking that "everyone is a bit nonbinary"/reducing nonbinaryhood to gender nonconformity
- thinking nonbinary people are just deviations from binary genders, i.e. men & women lite
