Women's struggle sessions

[ExiledElsie]

I've just left a restaurant where I overheard two women discussing non-binary people in relationships. How it makes a man queer rather than straight if they date a female non-binary person because it would be disrespectful of her identity to call himself straight.

This was followed by correcting "her" to "them" and the fact that it's up to you to educate yourself and not expect them to do it. But maybe it's okay to ask questions if you don't understand, maybe.

Oh and non-binary people are more likely to be into polyamory....?! Oh no, pansexual .,, because they just see people as people.

It was one of the most earnest conversations I've overheard recently. What a waste of time and energy.

Well yes, I get your point and agree as far as that goes. But it was their conversation and if they weren't trying to involve you in it, then leave them to it. It's what they wanted to talk about, after all.

But if I'd been there I just might have been tempted to sticker the loos and see if that stirred the hornet's nest. 😉

I despair at all the thought, all the energy and all the intelligence wasted on this nonsense.

Often it is the mega-bright, possibly neurodiverse, people who endlessly weave and loop and stitch through this fabricated world. It’s a huge waste of time. It has nothing to do with anything real.

Imagine what good they could do if they applied all that energy to something worthwhile.
