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

[Apustajan apustaja]

If pronouns don’t indicate gender, then… what do they indicate? Why even bother?

It is a general test of weakness and agreabillity, if they use your stupid pronouns now you can ask and even demand money of them later. It is like bumming cigs or a light in boomerworld.

idk how you can go out of your way to create jargon that is incomprehensible to outsiders just to go on and complain when outsiders do not understand your jargon

bio disappointingly normal if anything

If there’s no meaningful difference between jargon like this and more common terms, there’s no point in having that jargon besides wanting to be unique and anti-establishment.

Well, it does work as a huge red flag. Do not have sex with this person, do not allow them to start dumping gossip on you, do not invite them into your long-running RPG campaign.

Read it here if you hate yourself, very NSFW.

EDIT: Anna sure likes to write about having her dick sucked.

Fewer college students indicate they are nonbinary amid backlash

The national backlash against trans and nonbinary young people may have led fewer nonbinary students to disclose their gender identity in their applications to college for this fall.

That is according to my analysis of how students who applied to college through the Common App identified their gender. The Common App is a good barometer because more than 1 million students use it annually to apply to more than 1,000 U.S. schools.

For the most recent admissions cycle, 1.88% of students, or 23,620 individuals, chose a nonbinary gender term to describe themselves, down from 2.2%, or 25,959 individuals, in the last cycle.

That may not seem like a large drop, but it is a huge change from the past few years, when the number of students indicating that they were nonbinary had skyrocketed. For example, on one of the largest surveys of college students, the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment, the percent of students identifying as nonbinary more than doubled from 2020 to 2022, going from 2.5% to 5.1%. Then, in spring 2023, the rate of increase slowed significantly to 5.5%, and there was no increase in the percent of nonbinary students in spring 2024.

Love the wording - pretending as if NB isn't a completely meaningless term, that there's somehow an innate sense of being neither male nor female that some people have and are able to discover but are hiding it out of shame, rather than the more likely scenario - people realising it's cringe and makes no sense, or that most people in day to day life don't really give a damn about your pronouns and micro-labels.

EDIT: Anna sure likes to write about having her dick sucked.

...Can't believe I missed this but that's an underage girl in the fanfic, and even if Anna justifies it with the whole "aging up" thing, Alisaie still looks underage as her race (the Elezen - FFXIV's elves that for some reason are also French) don't reach physical maturity until their 20s and she'd be late teens at most going off the new timeline that's just been mentioned. The good old fashioned "legal loli" justification, in other words. So basically more proof "queer" is synonymous with "pedo", and concerning because this is a grown woman with a child writing this.

Notice there's this line in the article that claims "The Common App shows a much smaller nonbinary population because its users are typically 17- and 18-year-olds. At this age, students may not yet recognize or understand their gender identity."

So according to these same people, children as young as 2 years old can know about their gender identities, but 17-18 year olds may not yet recognize or understand theirs? This comment sounds very grooming.

So convenient timing. There's this one college girl I know online for about a year that identified as non-binary and went by they/them pronouns. A few days later after I shared this story here she announced that her pronouns are now they/she. Its a start, but if she's allowing people to use female pronouns for her then there's a part of me that's wondering if she's seeing the writing on the wall and realizing this is falling out of fashion and annoying people.

That or she is just maturing and would have done it regardless of fashion. To lots of girls trans identity was nothing more than a quirky teenage rebellion phase and so it suffers the same faith as other quirky teenage rebellion phases. Most goth girls drop all black, most vegans go back to normal diet, most free love hippies get married and never look back.

Grammar sperging:

"She/her" is the subjective third-person feminine pronoun (She is going to the shops) and the objective third-person feminine pronoun (Do you want to go with her?)

"She/they" is the subjective third-person feminine pronoun followed by the subjective plural third-person pronoun.

Pick a fucking lane, gender specials, because this grammar confusion is maddening to I me.

She/theys are annoying to me because 99% of the time they're just women doing the bare minimum to make themselves seem special and unique. Yet they get mad when you call them women, or if you only use the "she" and ignore the "they". I've noticed it not only among certain female celebrities, but also women in certain circles where it's cool to be "queer" but they don't want to commit to anything beyond a change of pronouns and possibly edgier fashion choices.

In general the idea of using multiple pronouns for one person, including made-up ones, is absurd and I can't believe it's become so accepted now. Might as well just give yourself multiple nicknames, since that's all it really comes down to - dictating how others refer to you, in a way that makes no sense.

It could be them maturing but I know I feel a change in the air. Transgenderism is on the downswing. More and more TIMs and TIFs are dropping like flies and the ideology isn't sustainable for the long term. They could be trying to get off the train before it crashes.

I’m even more annoyed by women who are like “I’m a they/them non-binary, that means I’m in a queer relationship and my boyfriend isn’t straight!” Yeah lol good luck with that, as far as your boyfriend is concerned, he's dating a woman with weird ideas about what gender she is in her head, which impacts nothing whatsoever.

I really dislike the ones who insist that "she/they" means you need to change which pronouns you use for that person in the same piece of writing. That's the opposite of writing for clarity! Haven't heard if alternating every paragraph is enough, or if you need to try to do it in the same sentence.

My sister told me Halsey demanded that shit. She (my sister) thought it was ridiculous.

How would you even navigate that in the bedroom? I mean, the current line of thought is that what's in someone's pants ≠ gender, but that's also where terms like "front hole" come in. Or much less likely considering the sort of person who typically identifies as NB (the one man identifying as NB I can think of who's into women is Ezra Miller), but I can't think of a gender neutral nickname for a penis, only the ones like "girldick" as used by full on MTF troons.

And that's only getting into terminology - I swear I remember reading a story of a female they/them upset that her boyfriend was treating her "like a woman" in bed. What's he supposed to do - call her heckin' cute and valid or a smol bean while he nuts in her?

I guess I assumed they just continued to have normal heterosexual sex, given that the woman’s identity shit is so shallow. Maybe I’m wrong.

Straight missionary sex is queer sex - Provided that you identify the sex as queer before you have it. After all, the label matters more than any substance or meaning behind it!

Gotta love clown world.
