Please stop using the phrase “identify as” when referring to someone’s identity.
It strips away the truth of who they are, reducing their existence to mere preference, rather than an intrinsic part of who they are.
I don’t “identify as” non-binary. I am non-binary and I’m proud of who I am. It is a matter of showing respect for the person’s identity.
Let’s lift each other up by affirming one another!
