Apologize for asking this after all of these years but does "non-binary" mean the same as bi-sexual? Their door swings both ways?

Why the new term?
Not necessarily. It's one of those all rodents are mammals but not all mammals are rodents type of thing.


He's gay. There isn't a non-binary that's not gay. They're all gay. And that's fine. I don't care. But, they are.

Can't answer that for everyone, but I have a "family member" (won't get any more specific than that) who, in her first or second year in college announced in a FB post she was "bisexual." Then, a few years later came out (or whatever) as non-binary, I believe. She has shortened her name (think "Patricia" down to "Pat", although it is far more masculine than that) and her mom buys into this bull**** and refers to her as "they."

I held her in my arms when she was a baby (have a pic which I really like); she will always be a her. I won't go out of my way to impose anything upon her but if she is around me, that's what I will call her. If she doesn't want to be around me, that's fine.

What if the other kid wants to be normal? You know, date the other sex, play sports, do homework and have friends over, , not have sex constantly thrown in face, or worse yet, that kid and friends get recruited?

At Brian's schoolin Austin, you probably could find his name on the bathroom walls under "joto".

Just so I'm clear, this article is supposed to make me WANT to keep people like this in Texas?

Yep. Totally natural. Not socially driven at all by their whack job parents.


Well, in their defense, there is a genetic component to mental illness. However, the way it's manifesting in the 2020s is to choose an identity contrary to anything logical or scientific.

Why should I spend the rest of my life in jail when I have my own family to protect. My job is to protect my family, let these people rot.

"They" may not be able to self-identify their gender, but the rest of the world would have no problem doing it for them. Be honest - if you were handed this person's pic with no other information and were asked to identify their gender then you would take one look at the full beard and masculine features and answer "male" without hesitation.

"Gender fluid", "non-binary", etc. is just self-delusion and/or intellectual dishonesty with a better marketing plan.

XX - female
XY - male

It's been that way for billions of years with billions of species. Moving to Seattle doesn't change that in any way/shape/form.
What about XXY?

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

These people are always ugly or not normal looking. Is it default now, when you get hit with the ugly stick you have to claim extra pronouns or sexualities???

Juliet started exploring her gender identity as a toddler (AS A ****ING TODDLER) by wearing princess dresses and growing out her hair. In 2019, 3-year-old Juliet told her mother, "I am a girl person, can I be your daughter?"
The kid didn't let his hair grow out, his 'parents' didn't cut it.

The kid didn't explore his identity by wearing princess dresses, his 'parents' allowed it so he never learned sexual differences.

To think that the 'parents' could simply have just said "no". A simple "no" as a child might save his life.

Am I the only one who finds the use of the phrase "gender affirming" to mean denying your biological gender to be an oxymoron?

Yes. It is a term found in the Clown World dictionary.

There is no such thing as "trans kids", just ugly liberal white women that try and coerce them into being trans.

Around this time last year, the twins and their parents Susan and Brian were fleeing Austin, Texas, to protect Juliet from a wave of anti-trans laws and policies in the state.

To protect their privacy, the parents asked that the family's last name be withheld, and that pseudonyms be used for their children to avoid transphobia and harassment.

Oh okay, so you wont actually tell us what "anti-trans laws and policies" you were referring to (which is the subject, by the way of this entire ****ing article)....and also you dont want people to know who you are. Cool how that works.

Quote:

But by 2022, because of all the anti-trans policies being introduced in Texas, the family no longer felt like they belonged.

Mentioned again in the next paragraph. Similarly to the first, no mention of what these "anti-trans" policies actually were.

Quote:

"It doesn't feel good when your home state is making it so clear that they don't want you," Susan said. "It was like the conservatives decided to go for the jugular."

But the move wasn't easy. Juliet was initially so sad and frustrated about having to leave the only state she had ever known as home that she told her parents, "Just let them hurt me."

"There were a lot of things I liked about Texas so it was hard to leave," Juliet said, but, "I didn't want to get separated from my family."

LOL. Cry more.

More feels, without citing the "anti-trans" legislation that they upended their lives to move for...

After moving to Seattle, however....things changed....

Quote:

During "Meet the Teacher" night at the kids' school last fall, Susan nervously greeted Juliet and Keegan's new first grade teacher. She teared up when she saw a Black Lives Matter mug on the teacher's desk. That message one limited by some school districts in their home state was a "we're not in Texas anymore" moment.

"In Texas, you can get fired," Susan said. "You had to self-censor."

Shortly after seeing the mug, Susan opened up to the teacher about how the family had fled Texas to protect their trans daughter. The teacher was empathetic and reassured Susan she respected and would affirm Juliet.

"What we got was more than what we dared and hoped for in Texas," Susan said. "Even in the supposed liberal oasis of Austin."



So none of this was due to "anti-trans" laws at all, it was purely for the ability to have your children raised by overtly Marxists ******s who would not get punished from openly displaying clearly politically-charged messages in their classrooms.


Okay. If that's the case, start a website! I'd donate to getting more of you constantly-offended idiots out of our state.

Susan still feared someone might report them to authorities if they knew Juliet was trans.
Paranoia - a sign of mental illness. I saw A Beautiful Mind so I know. But the "reporter" didn't ask the obvious question - why would anybody report them and what would the authorities do? The truth is that nobody would report them because there is nothing to report since there's is no law preventing Juliet from being trans, nor will there ever will be. There are laws preventing adults from mutilating children however, but when those children become adults they are free to mutilate themself.

I know people who identify as "non-binary", and others as "gender-fluid." As for those who identify as "non-binary," they've expressed that they do not identify as either male or female.

That's their gender identity, which is wholly separate from their sexual orientation, which could be homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual, depending on the individual.

Either way, it's a f'ng dumb virtue signal.

No.

"Bisexual" relates to sexual orientation. i.e. preferred partners for intercourse

"Non-binary" relates to gender identity. i.e. how you see your societal roles.

Don't blame the messenger.

I cannot imagine the ego it takes to want to go around telling people you are non-binary. Not sure how that helps you get my coffee, update a report (TPS of course), or fix a car? Must get a lot of "well, ok. you know this is a Wendy's sir?"
