I censored their name for privacy reasons (and because just exposing them and saying “HEY LOOK THEY DID A TRANSPHOBIC” is a dick move) but I did check and they do follow LGBTQ.
(This convo happened in MSMG btw)
The last part got cut off because of my bad crop (bro we’re gonna starve) but I basically explained that I am nonbinary and it doesn’t matter if they think I’m trans enough to say that I’m trans because I am.
Yes, I was assigned female at birth, generally portray myself as feminine, and use she/her pronouns in addition to they/them pronouns (I prefer they but I’m okay with she). This does not give them or anyone else the right to say I’m not transgender or to devalue me as a part of this community. I identify as nonbinary are therefore am transgender. Thats my business and it’s genuinely a little hurtful that someone who otherwise seems to be a part of this community is the one saying those hurtful things.
I don’t want to call them out on this (that’s why I censored their name) but I do hope they see this, one so they can see that it did really hurt a little bit, and two so that they can hopefully educate themselves a bit. I also hope to spread the word that what you identify as is your business, no one else’s. Dress how you want, present yourself how you want, and if someone says that you don’t fit their description of your identity, tell them to respectfully f**k off.
