antibigotry notice
this post does not support or normalize misgendering nonbinary people. wakko generally seems to canonically accept he/him pronouns, but if that weren’t the case the behavior exhibited in this post would be unacceptable, harmful, and vehemently condemned, and would be showcased here only as an example of and condemnation against bigotry, and should not be understood as condoning.
As an AMAB enby who largely dresses the same I did before discovering my gender, I’m not terribly bothered by the he/him from strangers (it makes me itch, but it’s unreasonable to expect differently so I’ve made my peace). But once someone knows…
Do you mind if I ask what AMAB and enby mean? I am woefully uneducated in some areas
Of course!
AMAB = Assigned Male at Birth
Enby = shorthand for non-binary (sounds like NB -> enby).
In case you’re unfamiliar with ‘non-binary’, it means that I don’t identify with the gender I was assigned, but also don’t identify with being a woman either. It’s a bit more complex than that for me, but it’s easiest to say I non-binary as it’s more well known than gender-fluid, which is more specific to how I identify/feel as a person.
Ooooh I would never have figured out “enby” but now I cant unsee/hear it! Thank you, I appreciate the info.
Of course! Happy to help out.
And like G.I. Joe says, knowing is half the battle
