    anecdotally i know several people who this meme format describes well. there are people who do in fact see nonbinary identity as a way to distance themself from their agab and then realize they would be more comfortable as a binary* trans person. people just looking for any way to escape the fate decided for them by their genitals before realizing what they actually want

    i want to be clear that this doesn’t change the fact that this meme is transmedicalist and bad. i think it’s important to note this because the problem with it isn’t that it doesn’t reflect reality for anyone, the problem is that it universalizes this and therefore plays into all the problematic stuff you get into and is indeed very truscum if you actually think about it

    *in as much as any trans person can be binary

      Hey I’m going to be pedantic and say I don’t feel like my fate is at all decided by my genitals. Actually I think the desire the cisnormative society has developed to basically categorize my genitals as a specific gender is extremely annoying and I plan on never getting bottom surgery entirely out of spite for that. Thought you might just mean this in a personal sense in which case, sorry for breaking in for gross discussion.
