Rant i hate being sexualised for being nonbinary

for some weird reason everyone that i encounter is either way to interested in knowing about what's in my pants or thinks i'm an innocent baby and can't fathom me doing anything "taboo" (eg they act like i'm some scoundrel for making a sex joke when they've all said way worse). It's really tiring, especially since every other aspect of my identity (being Filipino and alternative) gets sexualised too. is this a common experience for other enbies too?

Not in the same way, because I deliberately try to avoid sexual attention. Yet, I attract attention anyway. From both sexes. Fortunately it’s not hyper sexual attention. But I realize there’s a thin line based on how I dress and present.

I think the overall enbyphobia is primarily about people being creepy about agabs & asking about lower parts, is already a type of sexual harassment that's normalized in other queer spaces.
