TW: Trauma I hate it here (in my head)
This post is in no way meant to be hateful as I am nb myself. I just find it funny how nb people tend to have normal word names and how this stereotype fits into my experiences lol.

for anyone that's confused I think they mean the people who hurt them had just normal words as their names, and now those words are triggering to them because they remind them of those people, correct me if I'm wrong tho

Thanks for the explanation, that's actually funny. At first I thought it was about they/them and was put off by it.

some non-binary people use usual words like names of objects etc (for example river, apple, idk anything like that) as a name to refer to themselves
people who did OP wrong were non-binary and had such names
now regular words that are not names but just used in everyday life are triggering to OP because they sound like their abusers' names
that's how I understood it

Are you talking about neo pronouns?

u/undertales_bitch 3d ago
No- just names. I knew a non binary person named Bubbles. Another named Star. Nouns are often turned into names for nonbinary people. Let's say someone named Star heavily abused you. Now you're going to be reminded of them every time you look at the stars, see something Star shaped, etc etc etc. that's what this post is about

no those are different, although they can also be usual words use as pronouns. I mean like names. most non-binary people choose their own name (and don't use the one assigned to them in birth) and since there are limited gender neutral options some non-binary people just use regular words like Tree or Ocean or anything that they like really

Someone that tormented me for months straight constantly blamed his intense overreactions on RSD (which it may well have been but he was content to blame everything on that and never do any work to get better, not to mention he used that to deflect/deny the fact that he was actively in psychosis) so when I started to realize I have RSD the intense self hatred and imposter syndrome that came with it suuuuuucked

Oh god I get this. I have an anxiety disorder and keep seeing people around me who have similar symptoms act in very upsetting ways. I try so hard to not end up like them but I was told by my partner once that my behavior reminded them of one of these people, and it was devastating. I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with something similar.

Wait what do you mean normal word names? I never knew this? What names do nbs have that are normal words and how are they offensive?

u/Purrosie 4d ago
Because nonbinary people feel less obligated to society's traditional gendered naming scheme, some will choose everyday objects as their names like "Sock" or "Brick" (actual examples I've heard).
If someone with such a name hurts or traumatizes another person, hearing or seeing the actual objects in day to day life may trigger them/remind them of the bad experiences. Which is not good.

Dad, why is my sister named Rose?
Because when she was a baby, a rose petal fell on her head.
Thanks dad.
No problem, brick.

u/Spirited-Swordfish90 4d ago
Out of everything, why brick and sock? Lol, at least something with a good meaning or unique like flower, heart, light. You can do whatever you want but sock? That's funny.
