Acceptance by some people doesn't make all the hostility of our inflexible systems and norms go away. And since nonbinary people are invisible in most data collection, it is hard for our voices to be heard. The irony of this hypervisibility is that while my body and identity may be open to public comment, my thoughts and needs don't seem to matter.
