I once broke down in tears when they brought guide dog puppies to our uni two days before my final exam in second year and I gotta tell ya, they weren't prepared for the fact that bringing dogs to calm arrested students might actually mean they are stressed students!

Saw a post about how being nonbinary made someone feel Othered in a way that was intrinsically linked to societies incorrect perception of them as a woman but a failure to conform to that womanhood. This was through the metaphor of a coyote being viewed as a dog but strange and too wild. I'm not putting this commentary on the post because I don't think OP needs the headache but here's the thing. A lot of would be feminists started complaining about the misogyny in "not like other girls" and how viewing the coyote as "wild and different" meant women must be "tame and conforming".

My fellows, that's not how metaphors work. It's not that all women are the same it's that the nonbinary person knows that don't fit there, and knows that society is seeing them as wrong. Nonbinary people struggle to navigate healthcare, job applications, social occasions. Not because being a woman is easy peasy and misogyny doesn't exist but because being nonbinary and being assumed to be a man or woman based purely on a couple of aesthetic factors means constantly having to fight your corner. Society is trying to shove non-binary people into the binary boxes all the time. Doesn't matter how much space and how many types of people are in those boxes, they're the wrong boxes.

Pulling "not like other girls" on a nonbinary person is redundant and irrelevant. You're not saying something revolutionary, you're just being a dick to someone who is trying to express their unique experience.

Side note dogs are the most genetically varied species on the planet so even from a metaphorical standpoint those people calling it sexist are wankers

It's like this all the time

There are two pools of water. One is called "Thinking", and the other is called "Doing".

The Thinking pool is full of wriggling, live fish. And if you want to do anything, you have to carry that live fish over and release it into the Doing pool.

All you have is your cupped hands to carry that fish - a fish that does not want to be scooped up. A fish that resists, wriggles, and jumps while you try to carry it live and whole to the other pool. Every task you want to complete, every idea for inspiration, every action is one of those fish.

If you don't catch the fish, it doesn't get done.

If you drop the fish, it doesn't get done.

If you accidentally smother the fish, it doesn't get done. And then you feel terrible.

Some days, the pools are near each other. Some days, the fish aren't as hard to catch. But some days, the pools are so far apart and the fish are fighting so much and it takes everything you have. But you do it, because you have to. It takes all your concentration to hold, carry, and anticipate the movement of that fish, and after you release that fish you're so tired.

They only count how many fish are in your Doing pool at the end of the day. "You caught enough fish! You don't need help! You're doing fine!", and you cry but they don't understand why.

Everyone else has buckets and nets. They don't understand why you think it's so hard.
