This Is Exorsexism - Tumblr Posts
when people use “he or she” instead of “they”
(as an example: “if someone needs help with anything, he or she should find an adult”)
this is exorsexism.
they wanna please conservatives so bad...but like did they forget that conservatives still want them to die?
binary trans people saying asking for pronouns is bad is already bad enough but i'm seeing an increasing amount of binary trans people now saying just sharing pronouns is bad too? like what are us enbies supposed to do? just put up with being misgendered 24/7?
this is exorsexism.
am i the only one that never gets what people mean by non-men? like do you mean any gender beside binary men? or are partially men people(like demiboys, paraboys, boyfluxs) also included in "non-men"? like i genuinely have a hard time understanding what people mean by non-men and non-women 😭😭😭
men and non-men as just another attempt to create a binary
this is exorsexism.

how is "women+" any different from "women*" or "womxn" or the many other variations of this? why come up with yet another term to forcibly include us in IWD and womanhood as a whole? if it's truly inclusive of nonbinary people, why still only call women by name? if it's about "anyone who doesn't identify as a man", why not just say that instead of centring women? and if it's supposed to include nonbinary people but not people who identify as men, what about nonbinary men?
also, if i see "women+" in the wild, how am i supposed to know who it's meant to include? like women* or womxn, it's very vague and unclear whether it's meant to include women and nonbinary people, women and all trans people, anyone oppressed by the patriarchy, or, like i've seen womxn or women* used before, anyone with a uterus. whichever option it is, it's forcing a lot of trans people back into womanhood and misgendering us.
"women+" doesn't make sense the way LGBTQ+ does. "women" is a single group of people, and it doesn't follow a pattern so we can determine who is included in the +. LGBTQ+ follows a pattern of listing genders and orientations that are rejected by cisheteronormativity, it's obvious to most people who is included in the +. then there's also terms like bi+, which includes bi people and people with similar orientations, i.e. anyone else attracted to multiple genders. if we applied that logic to women+, it would include anyone else with similar genders, basically still calling all nonbinary people women-lite.
apparently saying "nonbinary people aren't women lite" is no longer enough, we also need to start saying "we're not women plus" too.
