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)

Totally agree. As a short guy, I'm going to start FUCKING SHRIEKING if anyone looks down while they're talking to me. I'm going to make everyone pretend to look up while they're talking to me, as if I'm taller than they are, and they will address me as "Big Guy", or else!

I don't really like this attitude. While I don't agree with enby frameworks, I still want to try to maintain compassion and space for them as much as possible. I don't have to understand or get it in order to treat them with respect.

I'm as polite as anyone, but I think it's a break from reality for people to *demand* all ppl in their orbit to behave in a way that's contrived. That's a form of narcissistic rudeness & lack of compassion, too. There's a limit to what amt of reality we can demand ppl ignore 4 us

You’re getting a lot of shit, but I’m glad some people in the world are like you, and I can’t say as much for the kind of person who jokes about being “trans-tall”.
