Life Outside The Binary
Nonbinary Transgender Information Centre

I want to compose a zine about “how nonbinary/trans people fit into feminism”

crimegrampa:

Specifically, I want to hear from:

  • people who explicitly identify outside of the male/female spectrum
  • people who float between masculine and feminine identities
  • people alienated by the male/female oppression dichotomy
  • CAMAB trans/nonbinary people
  • trans, nonbinary and cis womyn who have thoughts about how nonbinary people fit into feminism

often nonbinary people get overlooked in feminist oppression discourse and their place in feminism is unclear, or people attempt to oversimplify it by applying further dichotomies such as “men/non-men” and “women/non-women”

id like to facilitate discussion around this in a way that addresses the complexities of nonbinary participation in feminism and does not hinge on dichotomies.

some examples of things I want to hear about:

  • how do nonbinary people experience sexism and gender-related oppression under patriarchy? diversity of nonbinary experiences under patriarchy, and intersections of oppression (including race, disability, neurotype, ASAB, class, etc.)
  • does feminism include nonbinary people? which nonbinary people? how does it relate to NB people who not women, not men, neither women nor men, genderfluid, or who are simultaneously male and female?
  • what are similarities between nonbinary and womyn experiences under patriarchy?
  • what are differences between nonbinary and womyn experiences under patriarchy?
  • identifying as a feminist/who is a feminist and who is an ally/whether there are certain NB people who should not identify as feminists
  • how to participate in feminism as a CAFAB trans/nonbinary person without taking space away from trans women and CAMAB trans/nonbinary people.
  • taking up space and differing to women as a nonbinary person.
  • privileges experienced by nonbinary people (including diversity of experiences and intersections of privilege/oppression).
  • Anything else related to this topic that you think would be important to discuss - I’m very open to input.

I’d love to hear from anyone interested in participating in this, sharing their thoughts, or even just talking to me about it to help me develop my own thoughts. 

feel free to inbox me and/or reblog with comments.
