Apropos of nothing, reminder that nonbinary people don’t need to use they/them or neopronouns in order to be nonbinary. Some nonbinary people use she/her and he/him. No one owes you any specific signifiers in order for their identity to be legitimate.

And no, this is not actually about the precious feelings of bigoted murderers, whatever classically bad faith readings of it someone might want to have

This is about how we can call out a overwhelmingly likely scam without referring to ideas about nb people that are UNTRUE

Plus my guess is that a lotta people out there do not in fact know that not all nonbinary people use gender neutral pronouns or neopronouns, and I think it’s good when people know true things about us, maybe that’s unreasonable but 🤷

Sorry but it’s making my eyes cross a bit to see people who should know better insisting that the Colorado shooter is lying about being nonbinary… because “everyone considered him a man and referred to him as he/him”

How about he’s obviously lying because HE IS OBVIOUSLY LYING

How about he’s obviously lying because “the violent person was actually one of yours” is a well-established tactic on the extremist right, especially the chan culture circles he ran in

How about we back “he’s lying” up with real evidence

Can we please be smart about this

@dynamicsymmetry People who think that NB people use only they/them have likely not really understood how pronouns and gender are different.
