No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Absolutely not.
Non-binary means you represent yourself outside of both genders as in, you identify as neither, you're just an individual. Alternatively, you can also identify as genderfluid, being that you're a mix of both but still don't identify yourself as strongly either gender.
But regarding anything transgender-related? No. Transgender is you still identifying by a gender and changing over to that other gender. So long as you identify, strongly, as one or both genders to be either, you are not non-binary. So, please don't confuse the two.
SO: The key difference between non-binary and trans is pretty clear. Non-Binary identifies OUTSIDE of genders, all and any. Transgenders identifies INSIDE genders, both or any. The only key trait they both share is - Genderfluid. But even then, the two don't correspond eachother. And to clarify the shared Genderfluid label;
When you're Non-Binary and Genderfluid, you take numerous attributes and traits from either gender, but you do not strongly represent either gender. You can behave like a man outside, feel female inside and still be like "I still see myself as just a person, no gender." and vice versa.
When you're Transgender and Genderfluid, you take numerous attributes and traits from either gender, so you identify as both genders and you go about that however you wish.
Trans as an affix doesn't just mean across though, it also means beyond. So outside genders you can also be transgender.
Moot point as self identity is the real authority here, but wordplay is fun
...No. That's just you re-defining an already established term and trying to expand upon, beyond that establishment.
No, wordplay is not fun, it just creates confusion and this is exactly why, it's harder for some LGBTQ+ members to get acceptance. Because, you there stirring the pot of wordplay, just confuses people into identity chaos. Can you try explaining to someone who doesn't know or understand, but is curious, about certain members from the community with a straight face?
Without them idly nodding before probably going "okay, cool" but not in a "I totally understand" way but more like a dismissive way because internally they're fucking confused and probably are more turned off from understanding LGBTQ+ individuals than before.
That's you ruining it for them. So no, wordplay is NOT fun. Fuck off with that!
literal definition of the affix. Look it up.
Also the trans community does include intersex and enbys. Also tends to be very accepting of GNCs, genderqueers, and genderfucks.
And if you got off your outrage high, you'd read the rest of that last sentence. You know, the bit where I literally said **"Self identity is the real authority" **
I get it. You love your purity politics. I don't. And on a personal note: Don't try and tell me what the Community wants. Because I've been a member of it a lot longer than you have. And that policing purity politicking bullshit is literally a psyop to try and fracture us.
