Other people have made great arguments I agree with already, so I'll just say that I don't believe in nonbinary at all.

As for why people flock to validate these individuals on their identities, I think most people are driven by their desire to be kind and not make others feel uncomfortable. Even when they don't really understand what exactly it is they're supporting. Kindness is admirable, but can be misguided. I'm not sure these people who are quick to support without questioning are the kind that tend to scrutinise their own thoughts and principles overmuch. Or maybe they just don't really care about these things.

I do understand where you're coming from, but when someone blindly accepts everything without being at least a little bit critical about it, I don't call it kindness. I call it stupidity.

I mean, I don't disagree. I'm just one of those people with an impulse to be kind. But not unquestioningly so. :D
