I feel like I have no place as a non binary person. Mainstream spaces are full of tucutes, but 4tran adjacent spaces seem to get more and more weird like that. Am I still welcome here? Is my dysphoria enough or are we already actual anti-enby transmedicalists now?

    A reasonable assumption, but wrong. People rarely talk about it, but there is in fact a set of social expectations for people who are visibly neither. Lingering since the days where eunuchs weren’t uncommon.

    It takes mental effort to deny the existence of a third category and consistently push people into one or the other, even if that third category is just ‘uncertain’. You can’t expect normies to ever expend mental effort on anything.

      there’s just not though. unless those social expectations are that of women. it takes mental effort for normies to come up with a new third sex to put those people in rather than the two they have exclusively interacted with.
