Agreed. Just yesterday I was watching a YouTuber I like who does critiques of popular tv shows. He was talking about Steven Universe in one video and how the "nonbinary" characters were boring or not androgynous enough. I was already rolling my eyes but I had to close the tab completely when he said "nonbinary people are interesting by default." No. No they are not.

Another instance where I had to unsubscribe from a channel entirely was after the creator changed all references to JK Rowling in his video titles to "a TERF". Like really? You had to be this petty and immature?

It's hard because I'm a writer so I watch a lot of videos on world building and storytelling. Many of them reference Harry Potter. But almost every creator I watch has started shitting on Rowling. It's annoying at best and depressing at worst. I honestly can't find any writing channels that still support her openly and I'm very irritated seeing creators I like claim to be excellent fact checkers yet none of them actually know what Rowling said.

Am nonbinary. Can confirm. Any character whose gender identity is the most interesting thing about them is going to be dull, dull, dull. Same is true in real life.

Please explain what being nonbinary means in specific terms.

Please use The Google. That. I would spell it out but queer theory is not permitted on this sub. While you are at it, please also look up "sealioning". The GC wiki on Reddit taught me so much. 😢

I will not use The Google. I want to hear what YOU as a person think that being non-binary means to YOU. What is it that YOU think. Do you have thoughts? What aspects of your biology or mind is not either male or female? Why can't you explain in brief such a simple fundamental question to your supposed identity? Don't worry kiddo, the mods will allow it for the sake of reasonable discussion.

Nonbinary is a gender identity, which is an entirely subjective self-image in terms of femininity and/or masculinity. Not the same as biology or male or female. I am male but feel disconnection from and discomfort with my masculinity, so I describe my gender identity as masc agender. I am a eunuch.

See that wasn't so bad was it. You're a male that prefers stereotypically female-associated aesthetics. Not a thing in the world wrong with that.

My aesthetic (gender expression) is pretty masculine. My self-image in relation to societal gender roles is that I identify with neither. I do not see why my self-image should impose any obligations on others.
