I agree. They don't seem to realize that if EVERY masculine or vaguely GNC woman became "non-binary", the word "woman" would only include feminine women who completely fit the stereotype. And I also wonder, if they don't consider themselves women, do they not think that feminism or women's issues apply to them? There's so much confusion going on.

I know some non-binary lesbians who still talk a lot about women’s issues and clearly identify with them but consider themselves “genderqueer.” They look like normal, quite feminine homosexual females honestly. And they maintain that sex and gender are different and seem surprised when you point out that people are saying that biological sex isn’t real. When you question them about what why they’re genderqueer/non-binary, you get mumbo jumbo about “breaking the binary” and stuff that sounds like they want to be in control of their own destiny and how “pronouns are powerful.” They just ignore everything you say that doesn’t fit into their ideology. It’s sad and frustrating.

I guess they think feminism and women issues apply to them, cause there is "female enbies".. now what this actually mean is still a mystery to me. As soon as you talk about female socialization and biological reality, some of these same female enbies hurry to shut up any stuff that is cooking in your little TERF mind, so shush about logic and honest questions. I guess nothing about this makes sense and they now it deep down, that's why they don't think too much, only focus on shutting down any arguments right from the start.

Well, my 50 something "non binary entity" lesbian friend on Facebook, who, unlike the rest of us is "sometimes like a man and sometimes like a woman" but it's fine to "say she/her" talks about "women's issues" still, still calls herself "wife", still talks about "lesbian issues," talks about how "penises are gross" (I mean, I agree too but don't feel the need to announce this on FB, as "terfy" as I may be), but hates those "evil, vile terfs especially JK Rowling" seems to think so. But wants to remind us that she's "trans too not just lesbian!"
