    well it does, when you`re a bio female and dying to get a “he” or a “sir” and when you are sick of beeing reduced to what you have between your legs.
    In a non-binary Utopia it does not matter, but today I am fucking bleeding from between my legs and this shit reminds me that I live in a society where people categorize me and define me without really knowing me. The question should 1. be addressed to ME and 2. not be whispered. I mean a loud and friendly “are you a boy or a girl today?” would be much nicer.

    (And I actually wish more people would ask me that to my face, are you a boy or a girl?)

    Unfortunately, I’m never sure if those whispers are paranoia-induced hallucinations or not.
