>>39463618"Non-binary" is just an attention-grabbing buzzword, an useless, meaningless umbrella term that tells you nothing
Gender is a social construct that varies throughout time, social context and different cultures. And each individual's gender is far from absolute: people have a wide range of opinions, behaviours and social roles, and each may fall closer or further away from society's idealized Male and Female genders.
Think about tomboys. By definition, a female with somewhat boyish characteristics preferences and behaviours, hence a deviation from the idealized Female on a given society (1890s tomboys would be normal women today)
By the "non-binary" definition of being outside the binary, a tomboy is one. So are traps and twinks. So is anyone who husbandos Reed.
Anyone waifuing an "enbie" is "pansexual", a deviation from "men like women, women like men", and thus non-binary. This entire thread is non-binary, and so is anyone that might be romantically and/or sexually interested on anyone in this thread.
An everspreading conceptual plague.
We need properly defined limits, but leaving aside how such a thing would be anathema to the LGTB+ tenets of inclusiveness, the ideal Male and Female are too nebulous and ever-shifting to be able to set an effective limit. Really, being non-binary is not up to you nor your identity, it's up to society's interpretation of the binary.
Still, let's sidestep the limit issue: the color red is more than just #FF0000, and people can tell it apart from orange, even if they can't quite tell where red truly becomes orange.
But the crux of the issue still remains: Most colors will be a mix of Red, Green and Blue, rather than either of the three. And to define oneself as a "color mix" when you could instead define yourself as a shade of teal, yellow or gray is to waste words.
It is admission to not truly looking into who or what you are. Might as well say "I'm different!", but so is everyone.
