I think this is just ignorance rather than malice.

Originally, Nonbinary, especially "genderqueer", referred to gender ROLES and did accurately more describe GNC people. I witnessed the takeoff of it, like, back in 2011 maybe. Back then "genderqueer" itself was neither a "gender" nor a "sex." If you saw someone call themselves that it basically just meant "Oh I'm not like the other girls. I have a pixie cut and wear pants. I'm a GENDERQUEER woman."

It was still cringy as fuck but it didn't mean "I'm neither female nor male." Then somewhere down the line, well, these things tend to get more and more extreme, and it became what we know as "nonbinary" now.

So I think these tone-deaf, for-profit LGBT orgs just think it's one in the same because they genuinely don't know or care. Like how they all include intersex as a "LGBT thing" to seem inclusive & relatable even though tons of intersex people are asking people to stop doing that.

They only pretend to care for money and a good reputation, they don't really care about what the words mean or anything.
