The title of this first episode of A NonBinaryWorld is “Why We Always Hatin?” In this episode, I talk about my experiences with giving compliments in a gender binary world, and how it quickly can spiral into a less than stellar experience. I also discuss how sometimes compliments can be misconstrued, misinterpreted and become downright creepy. Finally, I give some suggestions about giving, accepting and appreciating compliments in spite of our best efforts to sabotage the exchange.
