Gender Binary Rant: By Me

OH MY GOD GUYS I NEED TO RANT TO YOU FOR A SECOND

SO LIKE I WAS IN HISTORY CLASS AND THIS IS LIKE MY FAVORITE CLASS AND ALL BECAUSE OF THE TEACHER
SO LIKE I OVERHEARD THESE HUMANS TALKING ABOUT STUFF AND ONE SCOFFED AND SAID STUFF ABOUT HOW THERE WAS LIKE ONE HUNDRED GENDERS ON FACEBOOK AND STUFF THEN ANOTHER HUMAN WAS LIKE "THERES ONLY TWO YOU DINGBATS"
SO ME BEING ME I TOLD THEM POLITELY THAT THEY WERE INFACT WRONG. I LAID OUT MY ARGUMENT AND EVERYTHING. THEN MY TEACHER (who's like my fav teacher, dispite him being extremely conservative) WAS LIKE 'WHAT THE HELL THERES ONLY TWO'
SO I BASICALLY HAD A DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS AND STUFF.
MY TEACHERS AGRUMENT HAD TO DO WITH BIOLOGICAL STUFF AND HE WAS SAYING THAT SINCE THERES ONLY TWO SEXES THERES ONLY TWO GENDERS
BUT THE THING WAS HE WAS SAYING SEX AND GENDER ARE THE SAME THING
AND I WAS LIKE SEX AND GENDER ARE DIFFERENT SEX IS PHYSICAL/BIOLOGICAL AND GENDER IS HOW YOU FEEL BUT HE WOULDNT LISTEN.
AND MY TEACHER WAS LIKE 'I HAVE BASICALLY LOST MY RESPECT FOR YOU, BE QUIET'
AND OH MY GOD DID I WANT TO PUNCH HIM. 
Luckily I did not punch my teacher. Afterwards everyone was like 'dude why couldn't you just let this go' and I just wanted to punch these people because these narrow minded bigots were telling me to let stuff go. (they also laughed when I used 'big words' even though we're all in honors together. I may be a freshman, but I do have a vocabulary. Laughing at me for it is idiotic. I have a college reading level.)

So yeah, I basically gave my class a lesson on gender identities and they laughed at me for it. It just angers me that people are like this because I'm literally having alot of trouble with my gender and everything and these people are saying that non-binary people just want to be special when in actuality they aren't. Honestly, if they wanted to be special there are so many other ways, why on earth would you pick one that causes them to be ridiculed?
I just wanted to scream that it is perfectly okay not to be a guy or a girl because some people aren't. Some people are agender, bigender, fluid, flux, intersex, demiguy, demigirl, and anything else. Some people don't fit the gender binary and that it perfectly okay. Infact, the idea of gender binary is distinctly European and I tried to explain that they were not only being bigoted assholes, they were being a bit racists. Many non-european cultures have genders that aren't guys and girls. To impose gender binary onto people is just wrong. It makes people who don't fit the binary feel terrible. Trust me, I know. It's a pain when you're labeled a girl but don't feel like one, but at the same time don't feel like a guy. It's a pain not understanding what you are. It's a pain when you can't look at yourself in the mirror because you look to feminine, but you don't want to look masculine. It's a pain when you have to hide it. It's not fun.
People are just assholes when it comes to the non-binary community. They don't believe we exist. They laugh at the people who say they do exist. They laugh and claim we just want to be special snowflakes. I don't understand why they care so much about ridiculing us. Live and let live. Honestly, why do you care so much? If I told you that your not a boy because I don't believe boys exist, what would you say? That I'm crazy? That boys must exist? That just because I believe boys don't exist, doesn't mean they don't?
I mean, plenty of people believe there's some god and I don't go around forcing my athiest beliefs on you. I don't believe there's a god. I don't force that on you. I might have a mature debate about it with you, but I won't force it on you. So then, if I, a fourteen year old, can act mature and respect people and let them believe what they believe, let them be who they are, why can't adults? Why can't people just deal with the fact that some people don't fit the gender binary? And even if you don't think they're 'real', why can't you just let them be? Let them identify how they want. Honestly, what does it do to you?

Live and let live

Thanks for listening guys. I'll try to get a one shot out soon.
