A while ago I went over to the non-binary subreddit to find an answer to that exact question. The vast majority of the posts were about how they should present themselves so that people would recognize them as non-binary and stuff like that.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's fine to have a community where people can talk about dressing/having hairstyles/doing make up in a way that's creative and doesn't make you look like a stereotype, I simply don't get why it has to framed the way they do it. And that sub definitely has not given me an answer.

Yeah I've been lurking on that sub for a while because I'm really trying to understand because I have friends that are non-binary and they're good (if misguided) people. That whole sub is very cringe...

I am nonbinary and I find r/nonbinary very cringe. The whole sub consists almost entirely of selfie image posts. I have to go about four pages in to find a single text post worth my time. It all seems quite performative to me. I often wonder how many enbies have considered whether they are cis and gender nonconforming, rather than nonbinary. I try to promote this as an option to questioners who display no signs of gender dysphoria.
