There's a lot of colonialism going on with gender ideology -like historically hijira never considered their selves women before, but westerners are coming in and telling them that they're women and they need to demand rights as women - they're using them the same way they used intersex - they'll headline an article with them, then barely talk about them, mostly talk about their agenda.

I've seen many times when gnc/tomboy east asian women are labeled "nonbinary" or "genderfluid" for dressing androgynous. Its really annoying because most of the time they're not nonbinary, they're just women. In fact, I know korean feminists in particular are fighting hard to give women the freedom to dress however they wish. So its pretty tone-deaf to tell them "hey, if you dress this way you're not really a woman, you're nonbinary".
