I’m nonbinary, no it’s not erasure. We do not owe anyone androgyny. If you saw me on the street your first thought would be that I’m a cis man. Am I suddenly not a valid enby because I’m 6’2" built like a fridge cosplaying Bigfoot, and have zero idea what I would even want out of transition? That makes my identity less valid and somehow “erasure” in fact?
absolutely valid and ok that u do not want to present like that but to underline the point, that enbies can indeed want to look however and can even present very feminin: my prefered appearance is exactly that. there is no one nonbinary appearance.
i do wish there were more androgynous representation around
Of course people can present how they want, or how they need to in order to survive, and will still be valid. This comic didn’t give me that impression.
Big ditto on wanting androgynous representation … or blending outside of the binary representation!
Can enby not present feminine?
It does come across as erasure…

Given that it’s a catch-all term, I suppose so … from my perspective it would feel like cross-dressing.
