I know a couple of erstwhile straight or bi married women in their 40s who have "come out" as gender queer or nonbinary, but it only seems to go as far as a profile descriptor and maybe a pronoun. I'm unaware of them so much as altering their wardrobes, let alone demanding that their husbands publicly identify as Gay Now or anything else new.

Must be that female socialisation at work.

It's trendy. It's another way to say "look at me"

I know that there are people who are genuinely lactose and gluten intolerant and feel deeply for them, but for awhile there you couldn't have a simple dinner party because everyone was intolerant of something.

It was exhausting, because you'd also have to hear their whole health history in their explanation as to WHY you couldn't serve whatever dish to them. I sense the same type of "Pay Attention to ME" personality in some of these new "gender queers" and non-binaries.
