Interviewer: What do you think about starting an initiative on campus here at UK, to be more inclusive to women who have penises? So we can put urinals in the womens restroom for them.
Student: Sounds fantastic.
Interviewer: Oh, does it?
Student: Yeah.
Interviewer: What about- Let’s take it one step closer, y'know more- for inclusivity here on campus, but free tampons and pads in the mens restroom for men who have periods?
Student: Sounds great.
Interviewer: Ok- You dont see anything wrong with those statements?
Student: No.
Interviewer: What men do you know with periods?
Student: I generally use- ones like in Willy T* have pads, I use them pretty often.
*(Willy T is the college nickname for their library I’ve heard.)
I attend this school and I can confirm 2 things. Yes, our big library is indeed called Willy T AND the day that this stank bitch came to campus everyone was losing their MINDS and kept walking by in hopes of getting chosen to call her out. Immaculate.
Either this person is trans and took the amazing opportunity to play it cool and making this girl’s propoganda the opposite of what she wanted or this cis person pretended to be trans to ruin this girl’s propaganda video and either way I’m fucking living while trans for it
What I would say to people who are unfamiliar with nonbinary identities or who want to be allies to the nonbinary community during Nonbinary Awareness Week (Part 1 maybe???)
(Image description: 10 images with an off white background, the images are bordered by purple and yellow flowers and green leaves, every image has purple text with information about nonbinary identities above smaller green text that says “Nonbinary Awareness Week 2020”.
The purple text on the images reads:
1) “To be nonbinary means to have a gender identity outside of the socially constructed male and female binary.”
2) “In other words, a nonbinary person is an individual whose gender identity is neither exclusively or entirely man nor woman.”
3) “Some nonbinary people experience their gender as fluid and changing, some have more than one gender, and others have no gender at all”.
4) “The term nonbinary is only one of the many words that exist to describe genders outside the binary. Other gender identity terms include genderqueer, agender, and genderfluid”.
5) “Nonbinary people are everywhere, we are a part of every community. There are many simple ways to support the nonbinary people in your life”.
6) “Respect a nonbinary person’s chosen name, use the correct pronouns, use gender neutral language, and work to make the spaces in your community gender neutral and inclusive.”
7) “There is no one way to be nonbinary and every nonbinary person’s experience is unique. Some people medically transition and some do not, some change their names and some do not”.
8) “Many nonbinary people have other marginalized identities as well. Center the voices of multiply marginalized nonbinary people, especially nonbinary people of color and nonbinary disabled people.”
9) “Transphobia and cissexism have harmful impacts on the lives of nonbinary people. Challenge trans and nonbinary exclusionism wherever you encounter them. Silence is complicity.”
10) “Listen to and amplify nonbinary voices. Nonbinary people are the experts on our own lives and experiences.”)
