So f'n tired of people glazing Daryl Davis, FFS.

Candid thoughts on the non-binary community and the state of how I feel about the label of non-binary

Realizing how much the non-binary community has gone full circle, with it comprising the most bioessentialist, binary-minded people in existence, has made me distance myself from the label hard.

There was a time where I owned that label, but, gee, it feels entirely fucking foreign to me now.

The non-binary community has officially reached a point where they have immense expectations for what someone's presentation, mannerisms, behavior, thought patterns, and sometimes even sexual orientation might be like simply on the basis of assigned sex.

We are now at a point where the non-binary community is sounding not too different than traditionalists on the subject of gender, with how they functionally expect AMAB non-binary people to embody some form of masculinity and AFAB non-binary people to embody some form of femininity.

As someone who can only describe myself as hyperandrogynous, it feels simultaneously awkward and totally sensible to say that I am uncomfortable with the non-binary community specifically because it is so damn binary.

Exactly... they aren't reformed chuds. They're just chuds.

What I got of the song so far

Guitar solo starts at around 3:01. I'm quite proud of dat shit

Haven't been working on music nearly as much (especially since I've been doing prep for the CNA stuff), but I finally got around to building more of the last song I was working on. Just finished writing a guitar solo for it, but still got some other shit to do because I plan for it to be a fairly lengthy track. Haven't had the creative spirit in a bit, but it seems to have returned.

I might share a mix later.

How it been feelin like for me

Unfortunately, most humans love what animals can do for them more than they respect them as individuals.

I continue to be disturbed by how few people, even POC, realize that "benevolent racism" is still racism.

Saying "Asians are good at math and science" is racist.

Saying "Black people are super athletic" is racist.

Saying "Latinos are such hard workers" is racist.

People not realizing this is why racial fetishism gets a pass from so many people, including POC.

Same for me.

I do identify as Afrikan above all else, but I probably wouldn't refer to myself as such in any context where it could incur confusion.
