Binary thinking is either/or thinking. In our own gender-variant subculture, when we say "nonbinary" or "binary" we're referring to the gender binary, of course--the notion that either you are male, and hence a man, or you are female, and therefore a woman

Cool jacket

[ext_3728435]

As I’ve been getting more involved in online discussions with radical feminists recently, I am seeing more of this radfem vs. trans debate. You have an interesting perspective on this topic that I haven’t heard many people articulate, although I do follow a few transwomen on twitter who have somewhat similar views to yours (they might have some semantic differences in the way they articulate it, but they basically say they identify as women while simultaneously acknowledging that biological sex is meaningful).

Do you really have a jacket with a Radical Feminist patch? If so that sounds pretty cool.

I used to! I had it for a long time, and the patch was hand-embroidered by me on a swatch of red fabric, using bright yellow stitching.

I wore it out to the point it had holes in the elbows, but never intentionally threw it away, but during one of my many moved from apartment to apartment it got lost in the shuffle I'm afraid.
