I would be curious what makes 'they/them' 'not a girl?' Can you ask them to explain what characteristics are incompatible with being a girl? Do they feel their biology is no longer female biology? You don't have to phrase it as an inquisition, just as genuine curiousity.

Well that is what I want to know, I don't get why gender is being made so complicated; I'm not a girl because I like make-up and the colour pink I'm a girl because of my biology. Similarly the fact that I steal my dads clothes doesn't turn me into a boy. Non-binary seems like a much worse version of 'I'm not like other girls' and it makes me sad that girls are being told that if they don't fit gender roles perfectly then they can't be real girls.
