Under the video, they had written this comment and I found it sad that people are so judgey, but yet it&#8217;s totally predictable behavior for humans.  They limit themselves in their own reality; their trait to see things only in their own image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <br><small>My&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nowthisnews\/\">@nowthisnews<\/a>&nbsp;video is on IGTV ! I get so many hateful comments about this from both cis &amp; trans people because of my appearance. The emphasis on the bodies &amp; appearance of TGNC people distracts from where the real focus should be: the systematic discrimination we face, the policies that make our lives unlivable, and the gender binary. We should be trying to end gender normativity, not re-create it. Trans respectability will not save us. There are as many ways to be &amp; look trans as there are trans people. Certainly if you want to look like a conventional man or woman, that\u2019s your choice. But we should not have to look like men or women, we should not have to conform to be real &amp; safe. <\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representation does have power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/56520202_592763411227527_7510933515076680269_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2918\" width=\"181\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/56520202_592763411227527_7510933515076680269_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/56520202_592763411227527_7510933515076680269_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.orderlyrandomness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/56520202_592763411227527_7510933515076680269_n-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<div><p align=center><font color=\"#FF0000\">Thank you <font color=\"#FF6347\">for reading <font color=\"#FFA500\">today's post. \r\n<font color=\"#FFD700\">Have <font color=\"00FF00\">an <font color=\"40E0D0\">InterStellar <font color=\"800080\">Day! <font color=\"FE09FF\"> ~PrP   <\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Genderqueer, also known as&nbsp;non&#8211;binary,&nbsp;is&nbsp;a catch-all category for&nbsp;gender&nbsp;identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine\u200d\u2014\u200cidentities that are outside the&nbsp;gender binary&nbsp;and cisnormativity.
