This is the fault of the non-binaryism bullshit. It wasn't even 10 years ago that the progressive position was that liking ballet and make-up didn't make a boy any less of a boy. Toy shops were removing gender labels from their aisles so kids didn't feel railroaded into Barbie or Transformers based on their sex. It seemed like a progressive gender revolution.

But now, in order for the non-binaries to be special, they need to cram the rest of us back into strict gender boxes: for 'non-binary' to actually be a meaningful thing requires that the rest of us be 'binary,' i.e. simple, contented gender stereotypes. It takes a special sort of narcissism to produce material like this because any normal person would realise that literally everyone is non-binary by these standards, but the message here is clearly that the vast majority of people are happy on Planet Boy or Planet Girl and only a special few have personalities outside these rigid stereotypes.

Hell, this is really even transphobic, because it basically says transwomen who aren't stereotypically feminine aren't actually women. What happened to 'trans women don't owe you femininity?' It's almost as though gender ideology is a self-contradictory mess.

Yeah this is why I've been always the most bothered by non-binaries than binary trans people. The pronouns cult didn't start for transwomen or transmen but for non-binaries. Binary trans just said "Hi, I'm Jessica" or "Hi, I'm Tom" and it was enough. But non-binaries don't transition to anything known and for that reason they demand special pronouns as without it you will just naturally call someone like that a she or he since most of non-binaries usually look like some tomboys or like a clear woman or a man. The "no dysphoria to be trans" also exists because of non-binaries. Seriously, I think the whole shit started with those "not like the other girls" non-binaries.

This is why I also feel in someways insulted. I don't wanna play their game so I clearly state myself to be my biological sex. But if I do so it feels like I am agreeing to a stereotype what's so wrong.
