Alt text: A pansexual and a femboy person are at a bar. The former says to the femboy, hey there hot stuff. Want me to buy you a drink or what? The femboy responds, I’m a guy. Zooming in on the two, pan then says, does that change anything? causing the femboy to blush.

    I’m agender, but my body is very clearly gendered

    I agree that it’s annoying that people assume someone’s gender, but we also have to give people some grace. Most humans fit into one of two boxes, and the other boxes are on a shelf that is slightly out of reach and easily forgotten

    I might be lucky in this, but people usually get the idea that I’m not cis if I ask for their pronouns while we’re in the introductory phase

      i agree, we should be patient and understanding whith people who act by opressive social systems. after all, most never learned anything different and it takes a life time to unlearn these systems.

      its still annoying and they better stop it soon >:c

        Patience, kindness, and time first - for all who seem just a bit misguided or not actively malicious.

        Blocking, ignoring, and hellfire for those who know to not do it, and yet choose to be offensive.
