nonbinarypastels:

stop assuming that all AFAB nonbinary people are transmasculine, male-aligned, or “basically trans men”

stop assuming that all AMAB nonbinary people are transfeminine, female-aligned, or “basically trans women”

i get that a lot of tumblr likes things to look at things as being cut and dry with no nuance to speak of but that’s rarely what any topic is actually like and the topic of nonbinary people is no different. when your approach to nonbinary identities and your way of including them into your politics (the way you talk about discrimination, oppression, basic experiences as being a member of X identity, safe and identity-specific spaces and who is allowed in them, etc) relies on these assumptions, then those politics are inherently flawed because there are many nonbinary people who do not match those assumptions and who do not fit into that AFAB = “basically a trans man” / AMAB = “basically a trans woman” paradigm and you are erasing our identities and our experiences (if not actively harming us) by pretending otherwise.
