gendered

this is your periodical reminder that "gendered" isn't just male or female. maverique is gendered. androgyne is gendered. xenogender is gendered. even neutral can be gendered*. when i call myself a mav, maverique, transmaverine or use Mv as a title, it's gendered. the only way that "gendered" could ever only mean male and female is if those were the only real genders. which they aren't, so... to be inclusive of nonbinary people is to be inclusive of nonbinary genderedness and terms that are gendered in a nonbinary way. stop saying "gendered" when you mean binary gendered. *as in neutrois as a gender or neutrality as a gendered feeling, rather than neutral as in "inclusive of/applicable to all genders" (which is why i call those things gender-inclusive or nongendered anyway).
