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

[80's Dad]

"Folx" is a gender neutral collective noun used to address a group of people. Unlike the term "folks", the ending "-x" on "folx" specifically includes LGBTQ people and those who do not identify within the gender binary.

There isn't a point, because of course there isn't.

X's are cool.

Kids love x's.

We live in queer theory hell.

The x thing came from terms like Latinx, which exist because people dislike using Latino to refer to everyone, since it's masculine. Regardless of your thoughts on that, at least you can see the reasoning, whereas there is absolutely 0 reason to import that into English, where very few words are explicitly gendered and the ones that do almost always have a gender neutral version.

I remember when X's where just a way to make your username edgy, and/or "scene/emo"

Back then only saying you where bisexual was trendy cause it got you more boyfriends.

I'm too old for this shit.

See, but that's not true. If that non-binary person is biologically male, nobody says that. But non-binary means 'teenage girl who wants to feel special', so they aren't thinking of that.

So in other words, they're saying that LGBTQWERTYUIOPs don't count as people and we need a separate term to include these inhumans.
Got it.

Oh boy, it's almost like making an effort to pass (if it's possible for you) makes you actually legitimate as someone who is trans/identifying as something that isn't their birth sex... What a radical concept, tumblr.

I might be :late: but this has to be said:

How can non-binary be a gender if there is no gender in the first place?

The transsssz/enby world has a lot of contradictions. Also, 'gender' and 'gender roles' are frequently tangled and mangled.

Sounds like a pretty shitty world to live in.

No idea, it’s kind of like how it’s asserted that absolutely nothing is inherently connected with either gender, but then the question is: If being a woman doesn’t require a single characteristic, aspect, or trait... then what makes someone a woman? What is a woman?

According to Wikipedia: A woman is a female human being. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. With regard to gender, a woman may also be a person whose sex assignment does not align with their gender identity, or those who have sexual characteristics that do not fit typical notions of male or female (intersex).

You'll Cowards Don't Even Use Genders

At the end of the day, they're still either male or female.

I agree, people can call themselves whatever they want as well, they just shouldn't be rude about it.

I unfortunately know a Discord server full of these 'nonbinaries', and one of them actually uses emoji pronouns. Got called out on it on Tumblr and now wants to die.

Five bucks says they use "clussy" unironically.

These enbie things get closer and closer to satire, the more I see them, I swear.
