Here's a tip: if they didn't exist before the internet then it's not a "valid" identity. Jacob Tobia makes a living as a professional victim along with that Alok guy, everything they say is worthless woke trash.

It means anything, yet nothing, at the same time. It's basically just a meaningless label to make someone seem woke and like a minority, without actually being a minority.

They are trying to win at the oppression olympics, so they made a fake thing to be oppressed about.

People don't call me 'they/them', boo-hoo.

Non-binary ppl can’t even explain non-binary

But I think it means you’re attracted to short-sleeve, printed, button up shirts and bow ties.

Non binary - an individual so not into the binary of "gender" that they don't identify with the binary ie either the masculine or feminine gender. Or an individual so far up their own arse they can't handle the reality of their biological sex and subsequent socially imposed gender role that they've managed to levitate in the in'between unlike the rest of us mortals. Example of self -id non binary the singer LP who is a lesbian btw. Meh, I like her songs, but she is far up her own arse for me to like her.

You're confused? hahaha. Join the club. We're many.

NB femme, so non'binary they've come full circle and returned to the binary to tell it to fuck off by self-IDing as a Femme. Femme, ancient Nonbinary before Jesus for feminine.

Pansexuality - please see Omnisexuality

Omnisexuality - Everything and everyone arouses and attracts you, you have become Omnipotent.

Well in order to obliterate the gender binary of masculine and feminine one must first appropriate the femme or the masc in order to achieve maximum force to extract the binary and send it into quantum oblivion. You must become what you want to destroy. All that will be left is neuter, and mana from heavens shall fall down again.

in actuality, he is a feminine (effeminate) male, a gay man. So gay men would be attracted to him unless they don't like feminine men, or non binary bullshit identities lol. So non binary means you don't identify as man or woman (the gender, not the sex) He also like to dress in women's clothing, so he has his male characteristics mixed with female characteristics, and honestly, not every gay man wants to date someone like that. Even drag queens take off the female stuff when they are done performing. Do an image search of him and you will see why he has trouble dating. Anyway femme is a feminine person male or female and masc is masculine person. We used to say just femme (or lipstick lesbian) and butch lesbian, stuff like that, but now they added the extra layer of gender identity and non binry, so instead of just being a feminine man he's non binary, which actually reinforces a binary.

Except some non-binary peeps say they aren't female or male. And that they want 'non-binary' on their passports where 'sex' is.

It can't be defined, you need to have faith.

Non-binary seems to be a "queer" version of gender nonconformity or androgyny except non-binary people claim to be neither sex (female/male) and claim to have "fluid" "gender identities" or have no "gender identity" (and want to be seen as "gender neutral" / unisex)... I think. Lol

Have you seen the SNL-inspired movie It's Pat? Pat and her/his love interest are what I think non-binary is supposedly... a person with an ambitious sex/gender.

NB activists are some of the biggest attention whores in the LGBT community, people who want the attention of being trans but don’t have dysphoria. Aesthetic is bizarrely offputting to every sexual orientation. Funny because in real life most “non-binary” people I know just like to cross dress and have an opposite sex nickname

Sure.

Nonbinary is when you believe in biological determinism and are sexist/narcissistic to the point where you think not only do others perform gender roles and stereotypes naturally but also that you're one of the special ones who doesn't.

So let's say you're a woman who likes sports and sometimes you feel like wearing a dress and other tjmes pants and a graphic shirt, since you're not following the very narrow gender roles and stereotypes for women, you could call yourself non binary.

Tl;dr: It's the evolution of "not like other girls/boys"

There's nothing to explain. People who feel even a slight connection to both (or neither) of our socially constructed notions of male and female now have a label they can adopt to make themselves feel unique. This has been part of the human experience for as long as gender stereotypes have existed. (I'd wager most people feel some mix of masculine and feminine.) This used to be part of your overall personality. You were a boy or a girl who just happened to like things typically associated with the opposite sex.

Now we call this perfectly normal human experience "non-binary" and adherents can gain a sense of originality or intellectual superiority (because they're living "outside" of the "gender binary" that the rest of us troglodytes - all 7.79 billion of us - are still abiding by.) It's just like "emo/goth" adolescents 15 years ago took sadness and social alienation as unique, defining characteristics of theirs - instead of realizing that occasionally feeling sad and alienated is part of the human experience, especially adolescence.

Moreover, I think enby attracts teenagers who suffer from legitimate depression and anxiety, but blame their sense of dissatisfaction on their gender rather than seeking more empirically sound ways to treat their anxiety and depression.

What's worse about enby, however, is that they've managed to place themselves under the LGBTQ umbrella, and therefore have the political backing of progressives and Democrats.

its the exact wrong answer to the correct question. I think it is the logical end result of queer theory and it overlaps with intersectionality.

instead of rejecting gender they embrace it and create new (undefined) boxes. On Tumblr they used to do this thing where they create and name a million different specifically named genders but if you name each one then you need to define them somewhat which opened them up to ridicule. nonbinary lets them claim a bunch of boxes at once without being required to put in the effort of transitioning. Many of them, like in that article just blatantly deny that biological reality exists. Like how they pretended to be confused or are willfully ignorant of how no straight men would respond to 2 clearly obvious men. "we identified as women why arent they attracted to us? derp..."

Non-binary: Today, I'm she; tomorrow, I'm he; the next day, I'm they.

I'll look the same each day, wear the same clothes but heaven help you if you misgender me.

Ros of dawn has a new video out so you can see how ridiculous jacob and his gang are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UELWVmPtCOw

Well, there's two ways to look at the concept of "nothingness" in relation to gender. Either everyone should be able to be attracted to you or no one should be able to be attracted to you. Most people tend to perceive non-binary people in the second way (hence why the guy ain't getting laid), whereas Jacob clearly seems to take the first interpretation.
