"I appreciate that you're willing to learn more on the topic either way. I don't think you're an asshole but [...]"

And I appreciate that you understand that not everyone knows everything. I apologize if I seemed in any way reductive or dismissive. That was not my intention. I was just saying what I learned from a NB person about their experience. I know that not everyone has similar experiences or opinions.

Learning is an essential part of being human :D I definitely still have more to learn either way.

It's important to note that some NB people do consider themselves trans and some don't... Which can get a bit confusing if you're out of the space itself.

I just personally worry that any sort of blanket classification of NB people as non-trans can lead to the erasure that bisexual people experience. (Bisexual people are often called "gay but trying to hide it" even within LGBTQ+ spaces)

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

So true with the bi erasure; I have experienced that personally.

I, again, apologize for my ignorance. I didn't realize the issues regarding the feelings people have about NB being trans or not. I have a limited experience with close friends explaining their views on the subject.

Thanks for the help. I love learning.
