Nonbinary is even more ridiculous than woman-face and bearded ladies. Nice haircut xir, here's your alphabet participation trophy! This era is so damn cringe.

Goddamn, so fucking true. You don’t get to claim you’re neither. That’s not a thing. Unless you’re the tiny tiny fraction of people who are intersex (and honestly, I think even they just consider themselves as intersex, not “non binary”), you don’t get to just claim you’re neither a man or a woman. You don’t get to turn your haircut into a new gender.

There isn't any such thing as intersex. There are people with Disorders of Sexual Development, which can cause people to have ambiguous genitalia and/or hormonal profiles which are very unbalanced. But some DSDs affect males and others females. Every single person with a DSD is either male or female, they are not something in between.

And while people with DSDs are not a monolith who all think alike, nearly every spokes group for people with DSDs have issued clear statements that they do not want to be used in the argument about gender identity. They do not want a stupid circle on the flag. They are not some sort of gotcha and to use them very much misgenders them, as even though something went wrong in their development, they are still either men or women. And yet, the same people who claim misgendering is literal violence, keep on misgendering these people for their own gain.
