ok I think the thing about genderpeople that *actually* bothers me is that I feel not allowed to use my own gender framework around them. I honestly don't give a shit how they present, how deviant from gender norms they are, whether they wear makeup or a boy cut. (1/6)

I view the neo-gender-framework deal to be analagous to religion; it's a deeply personal and important belief system to people, it affects their sense of identity and belonging, and I personally don't believe in it but I accept people who do.

Ironically enough, I see your framework (and gender in general) as analogous to religion as well in that it's rooted in ancestral traditional observations about the world and enduring as a social construct, resistant to new evidence or ways of conceptualizing.

Sounds like a positive outcome to me. I think the whole thoughtcrime angle is overblown. Most trans folks just want to advocate for their rights and dignity, not to legislate your thoughts and frameworks. The rest is just passionate debate about a topic they care about.

Definitely. But I do feel actively afraid of being honest with almost all the genderpeople I've met about the way I view them and how I don't really want to do the pronouns thing but I will if it makes them happy.
