NB started a few years after intersectional feminism was misunderstood in woke online spaces as a privilege ladder. Young white progressive men and women wanted to ardently defend their beliefs, but according to their own beliefs they had so much privilege that they had to basically shut up about any social issue and let everyone else speak first.

But oh, that feels so wrong when one just wants to be seen and heard. How to be special and rebellious when there are millions like you out there? Being gay or lesbian or bi itself is too boring, being trans is too much for them. But what's this, you don't always feel like a stereotypical boy or girl? Nevermind that no one does, get an undercut, dye your hair, call yourself enby (it sounds totally cute, doesn't it?), now you're part of LGBTQ+.
