Who is saying you can't be gender nonconforming? All we're saying is that you're either female or male regardless of how you present. (Edit: 1 in 60 people are intersex, but that doesn't negate that sex is a binary because there are only two gametes, one produced by males and one by females).

They're saying that if you're a TIM who dresses exactly like a regular guy, or a TIF who dresses exactly like a stereotypical woman, (in other words you don't even try to 'pass', are completely visually indistinguishable from everyone else of the same sex, and do not dress in styles more typically associated with the opposite sex) then in fact you're a brave and noble GNC person - a 'butch' """woman""" or a 'femme' """man""".

I love that they tore Trisha Paytas to shreds for saying she's a trans man (and a chicken nugget), but celebrate gender conforming straight male trolls, calling them butch.
