Extended family member posted over the weekend that she is now “non-binary transfeminine” and “will accept a range of pronouns”. Besides the obvious mental issues, what does this even mean?
Male, female, boy, girl, his, hers. Mr. Mrs. Miss. Ms. Husband, wife or any other normal inference to sex shouldn't be used to your extended family member. Just leave all standard family talk out of conversations most times weather is safe but not always. This would also extend to any friend they mention or there life style. Just be glad it's not a work and it's a boss. OH, it should also not be used.
It's one step away from wanting to fully become a woman. Trans is obviously the movement towards, gender means the other gender so a trans female is a guy whos is transitioning to becoming a woman. Trans feminine is the behaviour for a male being a woman in most senses without actually wanting to have gender physically reassigned.
Oh, and non binary means they don't associate with being either a male or female and they prefer neutral pronouns. So in your case if you have a non-binary transfeminene. you have someone with a dick who doesn't want to be called a male or female but exhibits qualities and behaviours most representative of a female.
ALSO, just because they are non binary doesn't mean they can't later associate with a gender when they feel it best suits them at that particular time.
If you REALLY want to get under this persons skin, totally ignore it. Act like nothing happened, use their preferred pronouns, and never engage on the subject. People HATE when they don't get attention.
But...but...but, she was born a girl, given a girls name at birth, was a Brownie and Girl Scout, and has been a girl up until this weekend, I guess, and got married to a guy about 7 years ago. Now I am really confused........
This is why I relate to the Ben Shapiro school of thought with this. There are only two sexes. You are born into one of them. Anything else is playing pretend, and don’t expect me to play pretend too, ignoring science and basic common sense. Especially if they keep saying it’s “fluid” and can change. Don’t expect me to keep up with your sexual identity du jour.
Nope. Childish attention-seeking behavior is best ignored. Like the flat-earthers. Don't give them any feedback, positive or negative. Don't engage. Don't argue.
It means she's a lost cause. But for real, like others have said, probably just entitlement complex mixed with a bit of attention seeking and virtue signaling. Ignore to the best of your abilities.....when the next significant social [justice] trend comes around she'll be off this bandwagon and onto the next. Shit.....PCU predicted these SJW tools way back in '94
Reply that you now consider yourself to be a lion and you will only accept being called "King lancebillion, mother f@ckin' king of the jungle and ruler of all he has pissed on and drinker of all the beers." Or that you are a cobra attack helicopter.
