I get that you can’t talk about a binary normative system without recognizing that there’s a reification of a binary happening that materially affects people, but idk, i just really fucking hate the term “opposite sex” or “opposite gender”. I’m sorry to get argumentative about that, i know that people here are more or less on the same page, but i really think it’s good if we just phase that term out of use and be mindful of not re-introducing binary reasonings when we discuss trans issues. Like you said, it’s probably worth typing some things out just for the people who are only reading along.

Fair. I agree.

I also don’t really disagree with the rest either, the problem is that it’s not very conversational to write too much, and that necessitates generalisations with the expectation that people reading will understand they’re only generalisations to make communication easier. I could individually go through each and every single difference on the spectrum of gender for inclusivity but what I’d end up with is an absolutely enormous wall of text that ends up communicating less effectively because fewer people engage with it. On the offchance this is misinterpreted I want to emphasise this is not a dig, I do not mind reading large amounts of text, I’m just explaining why I try not do it.
