The depressing thing about "non-binary" is that it could've been a neat new phrase to refer to Gender Nonconforming, especially for Gender nonconforming men since unlike women who had the term "tomboy" to describe a masculine woman, there was never a positive word that describes the reverse aka feminine man. "Sissy", "Faggot", "Fruit", "Gaylord"... These terms were always meant to be derogatory towards men who weren't masculine. And then when we got the word "Femboy", it quickly got corrupted by the kink/fetish crowd and now when you search up "Femboy", you're bombordd with sexual crap so. So there just wasn't a non-demeaning word that could be used to describe a feminine boy and so when I first heard of "non-binary" and I saw a man referring to himself as that while having a feminine appearance that didn't look kinky or sexualized, I was all for it until I dug deeper and saw that these people were trying to use that to tie into sex/gender and I just shook my head in disappointment lol.

Yeah, I noticed that too---about how there's not a positive/neutral term to call non gender conforming men apart from "GNC" or "feminine men"

Apart from those terms there's "metrosexual" but...if I understood correctly, that's used for straight feminine men.

I'm just annoyed that as a GNC person, in this day and age, we're still expected to "change" ourselves to conform...(ex. Being told we're secretly trans or "gender fluid"???)

Yep exactly and about Metrosexual, yeah it was mostly used to describe a straight man who didn't mind being stylish and doing more self-grooming care. But I don't think "metrosexual" would describe a GNC man who is the equivalent of the reverse butch woman.

Eugh I know. It's freaking depressing that people say that crap to us about how we're secretly trans or in denial of being trans when we can see why Trans is a lie and is society's way of ridding society of gender nonconforming people since we disrupt the social construct.
