Wilson / Getty Images for The Business of FashionNonbinary activist Alok Vaid-Menon broke down the history of and problems with the gender binary and how people can fight against it in video that has gone viral on social media.
He asked what he needs to"unlearn" and what he needs to do to help other men unlearn, in order to better support them, referring to trans and nonbinary people like Vaid-Menon. They said though trans and nonbinary people face violence and death for challenging traditional gender norms, they don't want people to fight for their rights"because you want to protect me or you want to help me."
"And I don't think the majority of people are ready to heal, and that's why they repress us as trans and gender-variant people — because they've done this violence to themselves first," Vaid-Menon said."They've repressed their own femininity. They've repressed their own gender nonconformity. They've repressed their own ambivalence. They've repressed their own creativity.
"Orange is the New Black" star Cox wrote,"@alokvmenon with the full sermon. Know that you're divine.""I don’t need your help. I don’t need you to show up to 'protect' me," Porter wrote on Instagram."I don’t need to be legitimized. That hatred you feel when you see us having the audacity to live a life without compromise, that hatred is for yourSELF.
