When someone asks me to use nonstandard pronouns and identifies as nonbinary, I do so without question. It's not hard to do! This information changes how I understand they want other people to perceive their gender, but it does not change the way I perceive their gender.

the insistence that you need to view people as they want to be seen even if it doesn't feel like something you can do or legitimately is at odds with your perception, is gaslightly and abusive and you are NOT a bad person if you can't feel the things they want you to feel

I used to be more opposed to transhumanism, but I’ve begun to believe it’s the only hope humanity has to end the cycle we’re stuck in. A cycle of war and peace.

what makes you process people into a certain category tho? Do you perceive them as the gender they look like, the gender they were assigned or what?
-
The gender they look like. I process passing trans people as their chosen gender, not as their birth gender, and if they tried to identify as their birth gender that would feel bizarre to me. Very rarely I meet androgynous people who confuse my brain into 'they're neither'

Love the way this is taken even further in The Culture series: changing not only genders but species, customizing bodily functions, glanding moods, emotions, mental states...

If there is no shared experience left to celebrate, and no one has a set identify, will we feel the same connection to others? There is benefit from similar and opposite gender relations, in different ways. Having commonality helps relatability Much to gain from dissolution?

Not strongly identifying with your ‘gender’ is normal. When I try a new activity, I don’t filter it through a “male or female” lense. I don’t think most people do

I'd prefer that we recognize and celebrate gender differences, while keeping minds open to variations.

I wonder how many people would/will keep switching back and forth much past the peak of inflated expectations. At least the alphabet people of today seem (to me as a gendersphere outsider, admittedly) to for the most part find their local optima in identity-space and stay there.
