From Dirt Bag: Janelle Monáe Tweets IAmNonbinary, the Start of 20THEMTY

Perhaps you may have heard, but lest you’ve not been sentient for, well, the entirety of human history, I’ll break the news to you; gender is a social construct. No, seriously, we made the entire thing up. Well, men seeking to horde power and resources made the entire thing up, but it remains true nonetheless. However, also for the entirety of human history, there have been people who’ve stood up and said hey, this whole binary system thing doesn’t work for me and I don’t fit into either category, I’ll decide for myself how I identify!

Some of those people describe themselves as nonbinary. In 2019 Mirriam-Webster recognized “they” as a singular pronoun, which many (but not all) nonbinary people use, and then made it the word of the year. And, to kick of 2020 nonbinary news with a bang, Janelle Monáe may have come out identifying as such.

From a Twitter post made on January 10, 2020, Monáe, who identifies as pansexual

was quoted further… see link for more of her fascinating thoughts on gender as construct.

In a Twitter post made on January 10, 2020, Monáe, who came out as pansexual in 2018, tweeted #IAmNonbinary ?, retweeting a similar message that was trending on Twitter, which nonbinary people were using to both come out and find community on the social networking site. While this has been the only news we’ve gotten on the subject, it’s definitely inspiring to see the star continue to open about navigating queer identity.

Regardless of whatever else Monáe decides to share with us, it’s a great queer start to the year! [Twitter]

I am on my husband’s PC now, mark, which appears to have access.

I’ll check the other.

This article is just creepy, isn’t it? What in the world is going ON?

“What in the world is going ON?”

they hate you. because you are not them. so they’re trying to destroy your world. because they hate you.

Never heard of her, nor do I care who she sleeps with.

I think Prince used to bang her. It’s probably easier to proclaim yourself non-binary than to write a memorable song.

Exactly! Who the fuck cares what this POS says or “identifies” as.

News flash to this non-binary dumb ass, Monae: Gender is a social construct? Well, so is time, which by your definition means a 58 year male could declare he’s a 21yr. old female, and an 9yr. old female could declare she’s a 24yr/ old male, and they could get married. Guess that’d be just fine by you, huh?

So what kind of pan is it? Does she identify as the frying type or perhaps a double boiler? Or does that mean she/it likes to have sex with pan’s ? I must be behind,and missed this sick stuff. (sarc.)

I’m so confused(not bi-confused!). So you could identify as a man who was born without male genitalia and if you have sex with a man born with male genitalia would that make you gay? What if you are a hermaphrodite and you have sex with a carrot would that make you a vegetarian?

“fascinating thoughts on gender as construct”

yes, mental illness can be fascinating, in a seizure/dream/bad-drug-trip “oh my goodness what is that horrible thing?” kind of way.

can’t help but think of that scene from the return of the king.

“No man can kill me.”

“I am no man! Raaaagggghhhh!”

If someone uses “they”, “them”, or “their” as a singular pronoun, it’s wise to disregard whatever else he has to say.

then shouldn’t you say, “whatever else he or she has to say”?

Another example why some people should have been born with their mouth on top of their heads. Then when they start to speak, they get a mouth full of hair and it makes it a little harder for the other crap to come out.

Seriously though, who, hwat and why should i care? Never heard of this person, and everything about gender diversity comes across as psychologist approved mental disorder.

So I’m in the North Georgia mountains this weekend for guys retreat. We’re a bunch of hunters who get together once a year there.

A buddy and I go to check and the front person is an it.

The name tag said Shelly but it was a Steve.
This dude had on make up,a wig, earrings and a freaking bra.

As we headed into the lodge asked my buddy…what the fuck was that ?

He said I start to reply to one of Shelly/ Steve’s comments with a “That’s what she said ” but I just couldn’t do it.

So as guys do I gave him a shot…I don’t want have to look for you this evening and you’re making time with Shelly/Steve

What the hell is going on these days with these sick fuckers

I regret that you have not yet found the help you so desperately deserve, but keep looking.
In the meantime, I have neither interest nor ability to cure your mental illness, and since I cannot approve of it, you will have to languish in your self-created hell all by yourself; I refuse to join you.
