The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen

Me: My boss won't use my pronouns and keeps calling me "darling," and I'm getting frustrated.

Nonbinary Karen: Have you tried yoga? :)

Also Nonbinary Karen: A service worker at a gas station called me "ma'am." I feel so attacked and violated. I haven't left bed all day. Please light a candle for me!

The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen, Part Two

Me: I'm being discriminated against at work, and I'm seriously afraid I'm going to be fired.

Nonbinary Karen: That sucks, but this wouldn't happen if you had access to the resources I do. :)

The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen, Part Three

Me: I'm not familiar with that conversation. Can you direct me to some resources?

Nonbinary Karen: Everyone talks about this all the time at the expensive conventions I regularly attend in San Francisco and Seattle. Maybe you should go sometime. :)

The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen, Part Four

Me: I’m having trouble finding a therapist who doesn’t pathologize my gender identity.

Nonbinary Karen: My therapist is wonderful. :) I don’t understand your problem?

The Adventures of Nonbinary Karen, Part Five

Me: I find restrictive body-shaping garments uncomfortable, and I don’t like wearing them.

Nonbinary Karen: Maybe you should lose some weight. :)
