yellow

 it's so weird to see people redefine the yellow stripe of the non-binary flag as "genders outside the binary" when it's meant to represent genders without connection to the binary. it's erasing aporagender people yet again by making us synonymous with non-binary. literally all nonbinary genders as well as genderlessness are outside the binary. simply being outside the binary isn't the same as existing fully independently from the binary genders and i'm tired of having this erased. last time i checked, demiboys, demigirls, agender folk etc. don't fit the gender binary of being either fully, exclusively and always male or female, and framing apiragenderness as the same as midbinary genders or agender erases our genders and gives people a pass to put us into binaries again.

the meaning of the yellow stripe being erased and being framed as synonymous with all other non-binary experiences is very symbolic of how aporagender folk are treated in this community.
