I just figured out what annoys me about phrasing that indicates nonbinary folk are female or male presenting: the implication that it's intentional.

I don't present as a gender, I'm *perceived* as a gender, and until I start hormones, people are going to look at my face and assume I'm my assigned gender.

It doesn't matter what fucking clothes I choose to wear, people are gonna look at my face and see someone of my assigned gender.

It's not presentation, it's perception.

“The goal of walking 10,000 steps per day may have originated when a Japanese pedometer manufacturer noticed that the 万 symbol (which means 10,000) looks a little like someone walking. The actual health merits of that number ‘have never been validated by research.’ “

if you're a white person who abstains from voting bc your moral code, consider instead

ask a disenfranchised person of color who they would vote for, and vote for that person

you can stay true to your sensibility and combat white supremacy at the same time

Something a poor comrade taught me is solidarity means you don't assume you know what others need. You go to them and ask.
