Megathread Non-binary genders / Enbies - When Male and Female Aren't Special Enough

[Am a tigoor]

Remember Frankie the non-binary doll? Well I found a fresh reeeing. How dare you imagine a literal toy as a she!!! Also, how dare you call an inanimate plastic object a "something" too! Actual children don't get this pissy over toys.

Saw this in a/n and thought it'd be good to crosspost here.

Meanwhile, prebrony MLP fanbase: same pony can be whatever, you can have a thread and it will be abything depending on whose pony and how tarded owner. He-she-they-it, canon is shit.

Someone finally explained the difference between demiboy and paraboy.

What I'm getting from this is that paraboys are in fact the alpha chads of nonbinary people, whose genders are predominantly male. By contrast, demiboys are weak little beta cucks who are not man enough have male as their predominant gender identity.

Remember, patriots: don't be a demiboy when you can be a paraboy.

Can we please institutionalize all of these people immediately?

Whenever I hear that someone is identifying as transgender, I view it with intense skepticism. Only if I hear that they felt that way from a young age do I think that they have the actual mental disorder. If I hear that someone identifies as non-binary, I know instantly that they're a trend chasing idiot. I wonder if this weird gender crap will eventually collapse under the weight of its own contradictions, or if it will become significantly less relevant to American culture at some point, like with what happened to the evangelicals after the end of the Bush years.

Paraboy is a new one for me. I'll assume it just means "same as demiboy, but demiboy isn't cool anymore so we need a new term."

Today I learned that paraboy and demiboy are words people recently made up.

Oh believe me it’s definitely happening. Some obnoxious upper-crust Jewish girl who I’ve had the displeasure of going to classes with identifies as “non-binary” and she and her coterie of weirdos constantly preach about how there are multiple (a lot more than 2) genders. I get so tempted to ask why she identifies as non-binary if she truly believes in more than two genders existing, but I have a hunch the response to that would be the same bullshit neo-LGBT youth put out when talking about the concept of bisexuality (which they changed just to be more inclusive to trans people).

A lot of the newly immigrated minorities that go to my school hate people like her and bitch about them behind their backs. Based group of fuckers.

Only because of niche tumblr gender nonsense, I imagine. The contagion has spread.

Le terme xénogenre a été inventé en 2014 sur Tumblr par un utilisateur du nom de Baaphomett. Le xénogenre est une identité de genre non-binaire. C'est aussie un terme parapluie qui permet de décrire son genre via des métaphores et des analogies. Il faut bien assister dessus c'est métaphorique. En gros c'est quand on peur pas décrire son genre de manière traditionnelle. C'est une manière de l'exprimer autrement que par le biais de homme, femme, neutre ou autre.

De manière globale il y a trois catégories différentes d'identité xénogenre:

La catégorisation par un nom ou un archétype - genre un animal fictif ou réel, un concept abstrait, un symbole, etc, etc. Personnellement je côtoie une personne xénogenre renard. En fait j'en ccôtoie plusieurs.

Ensuite il y a la caractérisation par la perception synesthésique. La synesthésique c'est quand une sensation s'accompagne d'une sensation complémentaire en simultané dans un autre endroit du corps. Moi par exemple j'associe les mots au goût, perception synesthésique, donc. Le genre est décrit des éléments comme le temps, la texture, la taille ou d'autres caractéristiques sensotielles. Pour exemple je fréquentre une personne xénogenre flaque de couleur.

Ensuite il y a la caractérisation liée à une neuroatypie. La neuroatypie peut être l'autisme le TDAH, les troubles dys, etc. Ça ça s'appelle le neurogenre. Ça veut dire que l'identité de genre est inséparable de la neurodivergence. Mais attention tous les neurogenres ne sont pas xénogenres, et inversement.

Ah oui et il faut pas confondre xénogenre et otherkin. Les otherkin sont des gens qui pensent que leur âme est celle d'un animal dans un corps humain. Les personnes xénogenres savent qu'iels sont humain.e.s d'où le côté métaphorique. Encore une fois.

Translation into :

The term xenogender was coined in 2014 on Tumblr by a user named Baaphomett. Xenogender is a non-binary gender identity. It is also an umbrella term that helps describe one's gender via metaphors and analogies. You have to understand, it's metaphorical. Basically it's when you can't describe your gender in the traditional way. It is a way of expressing it other than through male, female, neutral or whatever.

Broadly there are three different categories of xenogender identity:

Categorisation by name or archetype - a fictional or real animal gender, an abstract concept, a symbol, etc, etc. Personally, I move in circles with a fox xenogender person. In fact, I know several of them.

Then there is characterisation by synesthetic perception. Synesthesia is when a sensation is accompanied by a complementary sensation at the same time in another part of the body. For example, I associate words with taste, hence synesthetic perception. The gender is described by things like time, texture, size, or other sensory characteristics. For example, I'm dating a xenogender puddle [sic] of colour.

Then there is the characterisation related to neurodivergence. Neurodivergence can be autism ADHD, learning disorders, etc. That would be called neurogender. It means the gender identity is inseparable from one's neurodivergence. But be aware, not all neurogenders are xenogenders, and vice versa.

Ah yes and we must not confuse xenogender and otherkin. Otherkin are people who think their soul is that of an animal in a human body. Xenogender people know that they are human, hence the metaphorical side. Until next time.

There's also the stereotype that people who put she/they or he/they will still get pissed off if you use the pronoun of their biological sex. Like, if you didn't want people to use that don't put it in your bio. So they want people to equally use both or switch between them to appease you?

Another related thing to nonbinaries is genderfluid. It's gender stereotypes up to 11. You want to wear a skirt today and do some baking? I'm female today! You want to play vidya and dress in jeans and a t-shirt? Male! I do that too, it's called being a human with varied interests. It must be exhausting for friends and family as well, having to guess what you have to address you by constantly. To be fair, I've never come across someone who was genderfluid in real life, even tangentially. I DO know several "enbies" on the periphery of my social circles.

I know someone genderfluid IRL. He's just a good old fashioned part time cross dresser and tbh as long as his wife is cool with it (and she seems to be but i think her immigration status also hangs on the marriage so yikes) at least he's not claiming to be a literal biological woman (at least I don't think so).
Cross dressers just don't seem to exist any more so a man can't just be a girly man who really likes to rock lipstick and a wig and leggings he has to have a gender identity to go with it and "man when dressed as man woman when dressed as woman" is the rationalisation that we've apparently settled on.
Nice enough chap. Harmless. Turbo autistic overgrown theatre kid but I can't have him round the house it scares the children when he's en femme and you can't predict what he's going to turn up looking like.

That video is really horrible and gave me a jump scare. Her face is red as Satan's flaming anus. Her mannerisms and demeanor are demonic. She needs an exorcism.

Demiboy is something that's been around for at least ~15 years (I'm being generous with the estimate, but it's absolutely a product of tumblr/MOGAI). That and the companion 'demigirl', was coined/invented by a teenager, like the 'demisexual' sexuality.

'Paraboy'... is more recent than demiboy. The 'Gender Wiki' says the earliest flag was created in August of 2015 by a tumblr blog specifically made to create pride flags, so I can only assume that tumblr had been too over-saturated with 'demiboy' types, and they needed something new to make them quirkier and more different than everyone else. (Trombonista said it perfectly--)

Paraboy is a new one for me. I'll assume it just means "same as demiboy, but demiboy isn't cool anymore so we need a new term."

I don't think it ever got the traction that demiboy did, mostly because newer terms describing a 'closeness to maleness' (like transmasculine) have gained prominence instead. They all essentially mean the exact same thing and are used by the exact same types of people anyways.

I'm not sure how 'paraboy' as a term could ever be useful beyond a synonym for 'demiboy' because there is not even a defined scale showing the difference between how 'close to maleness' either gender is (If Paraboy is 51-99% boy, how 'partially boy' is Demiboy comparatively?). There's really no reason to try to make sense of it. It seems like most nonbinaries beyond the especially autistic tiktok users have forgotten about it, but that may not be the case forever.

Non binary lesbians already don't make sense when enbies are supposed to be not-women....

What the actual fuck is a nonbinary aromantic asexual lesbian?

Where does the lesbian happen??? Not a woman according to herself, not romantically attracted to women, not sexually attracted to women...
