transcription: open letter to the lgbtq. dear lgbtq, you are the most inclusive community i know. it is an honor to hang with you. i think it is time to step up your game and add one more letter. s as in straight. -slgbtq supporter.
THE STRAIGHTS ARE AT IT AGAIN. putting the s at the front of lgbtq is by far the straightest straight person thing i have ever seen
Imagine that men are hot chocolate and women are coffee. And those are the only two drinks that exist.
You might think nonbinary people are mocha. And that’s true. Androgynous people are mocha, agender people are water, and demigender people are milk. Xenogenders are juice, and soda, and beer.
…that doesn’t really explain anything tbh
Xenogenders are genders that don’t have anything to do with man, woman, or combinations thereof.
Ye Im aware of the definition, just don’t understand how and why would you tie your identity to a thing or an animal. Never felt anything close to it so I can’t relate, that’s pretty much the crux of it.
Imagine being transported to a parallel universe where men, maleness, and penises never existed. Imagine trying to explain masculinity in that world.
You might say manhood is about strength and protection. Camaraderie, violence. Action, and support for those close to you. You might say a man is like a shield. You might make up the word shieldgender, if you were trying to explain being a man. As a metaphor.
It’s not a metaphor for all xenogender people, but for some it is. It’s about creating a new cultural myth of a type of person.
Reframing two genders as concepts is a cool approach, I think it brings it a lot closer for me. I need to think about it thank you 🙏
