another post about gender and haruka

i got a broken wrist so this is not going to be long

i saw another post about Haruka being non binary which is fine by me when it comes to headcanons and shit

the thing is though that the only reason people use enby for Haruka is that she’s mainly gender non conforming which is something different

every enby is obviously gender non conforming, but not every gender non conforming person is enby

haruka is clearly on the gender non conforming side because by just being a race car driver puts her in a man dominated sport and she clearly with that says a big fuck you to gender roles. that doesn’t make her any less cis though, as she never states that she’s anything but a woman, and also her gender expression is fem, including pronouns. even if she was on the butch side of expression like the 90s anime made her to be, she is still a woman.

putting gender non conformity under the enby umbrella by default is not exactly helpful, and also gate keeps people who are fed up with gender conformity but happen to be cis from expressing themselves the way they want.

it’s okay to think of a character as enby, but it’s not okay to just call every gender non conforming person enby.

sincerely an enby person
