I'm sure that, as a nonbinary person, you've had many people tell you what words you should and shouldn't use.
I won't repeat the twisted arguments that aim to stop you from calling yourself trans, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight and more. You know them chapter and verse by now. I don't need to remind you of the push back against micro labels, or just new labels. You're well aware of how nonbinary people are not allowed to use binary pronouns, yet every alternative is "grammatically incorrect."
What magical combination of labels and pronouns will people finally accept in a nonbinary person, you might ask? What do they want?
They want you to stop being nonbinary. You can't placate them.
Nonbinary people must wear bigots out by existing, boldly, despite them. And we will, because suffering for the sake of truth is easy compared to suffering to preserve one's fear.
