I was more in the genderfluid/genderqueer camp of non-binary. The biggest issue with it is that it has no concrete definition so anyone can identify under this “umbrella”. So for me, I did not view myself as a sexless being but instead desired to be female. This feeling was not consistent and therefore I believed I was in-between. Of course exposing myself to trans propaganda made these feelings worse which is why my desire to be female morphed into a desire to be a trans woman later on. I’ve hated my body until very recently so I think general body dysmorphia got into the mix.

I believe you are correct, though. Most enbies are buying into some sort of philosophical belief (a religious rebirth of the self). If the person is experiencing body issues and mental health issues (I was to severe degrees) then that is a recipe to join any sort of ideology. Unlike transsexuals I personally don’t believe non-binary is real outside of a spiritual context.
