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)

the "genderpeople" are usually the first people tell people they don't have to do x to be x gender because we know what it's like to have that sort of stuff pushed on us though. Also, please don't call us that, it's about as disrespectful as alphabet people

I'm happy to find a different term! I want a term that summarizes "People who strongly support the gender framework that treats gender as a self-identification", so if you have a more respectful one you suggest I'm glad to move to it. I used 'genderpeople' cause it felt neutral.

so I'm down to use whatever my conversational partner prefers, though if I'm gonna be talking publicly I want something a bit more precise; pro-gender is confusing cause it could easily be construed to mean people who really want gender roles.
