Non-Binary Isn’t Real.

I’ve never understood the “non binary” thing, like… it just confuses me so much. I’m naturally more androgynous (female who can easily present masculine. I’ve had people ask my gender multiple times) I have a more boxy and muscular frame, a small chest, and my voice is rather deep. But do I consider myself non binary? Absolutely not! I’m proud of the way I look and who I am. There’s no need for all of these extra labels.

I thought i was nonbinary for years bc tumblr confused me on what gender was. I didn’t know what being a girl or a boy was supposed to “feel” like, so I assumed I must be neither. Turns out—unless you’ve got gender dysphoria—no one really “feels” their gender. Chalking gender up to stereotypes is going to confuse a lot of people who don’t fit into those stereotypes.

Also, yes, growing up on tumblr you learn that minority status is a social currency. As a white straight teenage girl, I was scared of being told I wasn’t allowed to have opinions unless I was some sort of minority, and nonbinary is the easiest one to adopt. Bisexuality as well, cuz you can say you’re bi and just never date anyone of the same sex.

I don’t understand non binary either. I’m a gay man who sometimes likes to do feminine things, doesn’t make me a woman or non binary. If people just expressed themselves without having to attach extra labels to that it would be far better.

To me non-binary is: “I don’t belong anywhere so I’m desperate to be in a club where I can throw myself into victimhood whenever it’s beneficial.”

I think non binary is either
1 Some kid got confused by libs and are non binary
2 They want attention
EDIT: I never understood non binary. People in the replies say it's because people don't identify with stereotypical gender roles and don't identify with pronouns like that (i don't understand why we need the blank/blank pronouns when we can perceive how someone looks, it has gotten out of hand imo) but people can have feminine/ masculine tendencies and not be that gender, and be fine with it. If you have gender dysphpria, that's a different thing.

Just say you're a "tomboy" or "tomgirl" instead of "non-binary". It'll help saving the explanation and the breath from exhaustion.

The only “non-binary “ was a character named “Pat” in the 90’s

[themanunleashed]

The fact that people think that being less feminine or masculine is a different gender or just no gender at all is ludacris.

My best friend identifies as non binary, I love her but i don't understand it at all. Luckily she's not insane and doesn't flip her shit over the fact i don't use they/them pronouns for her. I use her chosen name and that seems to be good enough for her

Affirm my identity, or I'll cancel you

Naw the first non binary on SNL was Pat back in the 90’s 😂

I hope Blaire is right about young voters.

I said this exact thing in a comment on this platform and they took away my commenting privileges for 24 hours. Citing hate speech. Insanity.

i will never understand why these same people who say clothes and toys have no gender restrictions are now saying you have to identify differently if you don’t fit those exact gender stereotypes they heavily rejected. it’s really not that deep, if gender doesn’t determine your personality and the things you like then why would you have to change it for any reason?

As a man, I don't go around feeling manly. I just exist. I can see things as feminine and masculine. I can like those things for different reasons. But it's not a feeling inside of me. I just am...

I had a non binary friend who cut me off after nine years worth of friendship because I didn’t understand her non binary. And because her ideology was more important to her than having actual relationships and friendships with people. I had an hard time understanding because for nine years she identified as female but suddenly nine years she said she was actually non binary. But I never noticed that her in the nine years that we were friends. She never portrayed signs of being trans. And I was so sad because I felt like i had lost my friend. And she didn’t understand why it was so hard for me to flip the switch. I just couldn’t get used to it. Because this new gender came so late in our friendship

"young people disaffected by all the propaganda and have seen thru it, i think they *want* to vote."

as a 25 y/o, i can say i have never voted nor ever wanted to until this point in my life. so yes, she is 110% correct.

The 'white guilt' feels like 'white supremacist with a guilty conscience' kind of attitude to me.

[justyouraveragebaka]

Asking kids “do you feel like a boy or a girl?” Is crazy because, most people don’t ‘feel’ their gender. It’s just inherently a part of you and an unshakable foundation for who you are. It’s kinda like breathing- you don’t think about it because it’s so basic.

Unless in the cases of gender dysphoria which happen to some children (which has been linked to children being exposed to sexual abuse from a young age), it’s not something that kids or even adults for that matter think about…. Or should think about.


I see so many nonbinary girls now simply because they’re not super girly or their favorite color is green or something. It’s honestly really sad. Embrace who you are! You don’t need to rely on a label to be quirky and different

[eueueutututu]

Non binary is the easiest oppression point you can get. You don't even have to do anything. Just say you're non binary and maybe dress weird
