I didn't usually repost other people's whole comments but just ran across one there which lays this out so perfectly.

I have dated a NB individual. I have dated a trans individual. I would not again. I am fatally disinterested in gender. I never want to talk about it, certainly not in the capacity enjoyed by the many trans/NB individuals I've met. In my experience, obsession or pleasure in distinguishing one's identity through gender belies a certain shallowness and conceit that I haven't been able to reconcile. And, as many have already said, non-binary identities produce and reproduce the very gender roles and gender binary they claim to escape.

Looked at the comments and damn. So many delusional people who say that we as homosexuals should stand up for NBs just because society used to call us mentally ill 60 years ago. No, society called us mentally ill because they were ignorant about homosexuality. NBs are just attention seekers who perpetuate strict gender roles, and who don’t understand biological sex. But there are so many stupid people on this sub who insist that NB people are valid and they get lots of upvotes for their comments.

This is why I don’t put faith in AskGayBros.

Oh god, these people(NBs,Trans) are literally the not like those other girls memes that were very prevalent back 15 years ago.

Yes! I thought that comment was brilliant. It's like a balm when you read something so clear and concise against all this batshittery.
