I agree with the comments, she should dump him. Save him a lot of trouble having to deal with her narcissistic ass.

Came here to say this. Release him already. Give the poor guy a break, his attempt to accommodate her cognitive dissonance can be laid to rest now.

I bet he mourns this until lunchtime.

Some of us need regular reminders sadly.

Happy to dispense as needed, just ask. Speaking from experience. Fortunately, only one personal experience, but many more witnessing friends going down that road and warning them. Just tell me you need a slap and I shall deliver. ;-)

This is just like that scene in "Sex Education" where the girl breaks up with the guy because she feels like he sees her as a girl and not as neither male nor female. Also, I understand the (stupid) idea that someone can be non-binary and not have to look androgynous or whatever, but that's just further proof that "non-binary" means nothing and isn't real. It's just a way for people (mostly young straight girls) to appear to be special and not boring. Just get a fucking hobby, Jesus Christ.

EDIT: Also, I love the idiots in the comments saying things like, "He clearly doesn't deserve you." Like, you don't know shit about this person other than that she makes no effort to present androgynously, thinks that saying "I'm not a woman" means she just magically isn't one, and bursts into tears and complains on the internet when her boyfriend says she's a woman. Where's the implication that this person is someone that's so amazing that this guy doesn't "deserve" someone so great as her?

I wonder whether this redditpost is just a 'That happened' and completely based on that Sex Education episode. It seems a bit too perfect and too stupid, made up in order to get internet pity points.

Either way: Run, perhaps imaginary boyfriend, RUN!

LOL yeah, even if he's not real... he should still run :)

For real though. The amount of coddling they provide each other over complete non-issues like this just blows my mind. There are people with actual war in their countries yet here's these losers coddling a fellow loser because loser's (soon to be)ex-bf wouldn't accept their charlatan identity claim scheme at face value, and now they're crying how "woe is them" about it online.

No other metrics needed to judge whether you're even a decent human being or not before people will shower you with validation. Just hop online, head to reddit, claim you're NB, trans, etc, that some meany pants person misidentified or didn't play along with your little identity fantasy the way you'd hope they would, and away you'll go.

Non-binary is a fashion statement

I'm a AFAB NB who is a broke uni student so I can't even afford a binder which makes life so tough already and just to hear that he never even seen me as a woman feels so hurtful. It just feels like he was "playing along" just to use me. I can't believe he truly sees me like this.I don't know what to do now. Any advice?

Her internalized misogyny is showing. What does she think "seeing her like a woman" is other than acknowledging that she is and always will be a female human. Props to the bf for not immediately laughing at her because I don't know how I could respond other than laughter at her delusions.

Edit: he responded saying "What? How am I even supposed to respond to that though? That I'm apparently not straight for being with you?" Which is ridiculous because I have no idea how he missed the point of my messages that badly to jump to such a conclusion.

The boyfriend is based...in reality. Good for him, hope he stays there and leaves the crazy behind. That's exactly what she wants him to do, deny his heterosexuality and pretend to be atleast bisexual to validate her gender feelz. But she knows that's ridiculous which is why she's trying to play it off.

The sheer narcissism of expecting to dictate how other people see you. I can’t.

I never have an issue with someone until they demand I think or talk a certain way. If someone else's opinion can cause you that much distress... that's a you problem.

How do you even get into a university if your writing is this bad?

You misunderstand, writing this poorly is an advantage when applying to university. The profs. are even worse!

Lol @ comments

Your bf sees you as a woman because … you’re a woman. Total transphobe!!!

Transphobe is overused to the point that I think 99% of society must fit in the transphobe bucket at this point.

Boo fucking hoo.. "but I came out to you" cry me a river.. Liberal white woman who wants to feel special and include the entire world in her delusion. Her bf knows what sex she is. She says she is broke, basic needs should be her priority not her gender. I hate how the American system preys on the youth, especially the delusional youth who can't afford basic amenities (a binder is DEFINITELY NOT a basic amenity) but still want their non-existent gender validated.
