Comment on Anon plays elden ring
rockSlayer@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’d prefer to let the nonbinary and gender non-conforming folks speak for themselves, and a majority of them do not consider themselves trans. I understand your concerns about potential transmed arguments that could be derived from this, but it’s a part of nb erasure that must be combated

And in my experience it’s the opposite. But either way we are going in to anctodtal territory which isn’t helpful or convincing of anyone. What’s important that we agree on is that non binary folk absolutely have the right to decide for themselves either way.
Concerns about erasure is valid, but the language matters as not to be exclusionary. There is value in saying NB, intersex and fluid are distinct identities, but not in saying they are mutually exclusive from or inherently “not trans”.
