I don’t even know how to respond to that. That was so wildly off base and offensive and just your fucking audacity. Holy shit. I can be a valid non-binary person even if I enjoy a microlabel and its flag. What the actual fuck. No being queer and being enby isn’t “a niche” or something “fun and quirk” like you’re saying I’m making it out to be I’m not jfc who tf are you
Also like.. im NB/genderfluid. Most the time i look like a cis guy(im amab), just a lil alty. Doesnt make me any less NB. Stupid. Im fine with my body, my presentation and demeanor and experience are just.. different than cis men. Usually im demiboy ish. But shits fluid.
It’s not choose your fav it’s understanding yourself even in niche or more complex ways than just saying “I’m nonbinary”. Also some nonbinary people do not identify as neither gender but both or multiple or a fluctuating spectrum of gender. Because gender is just expressing who you are at the end of the day and that looks different for everyone
The term neogender was probably created due to the rise of “new” gender identities (just new labels to use not new identities obvs) popping up on social media frequently. At least that’s what I’d guess. It’s not that these people aren’t valid but most people will have never heard of those identities and so it makes sense to refer to them with a category. That being said, many many micro labels existed prior to the 2000s I’m pangender which the term apparently has roots in the 80s. Cont below
It’s not “playing dress up.” Cmon be fr where else have you heard that talking point? I discovered I was pangender when I was writing a story including a nonbinary character and I wanted to look up micro labels just to learn more about the spectrum of nonbinary identities because I knew there wasn’t one way to be nonbinary. And when I stumbled upon pangender I realized it resonated deeply with me. After many months of introspection I came out as enby particularly pangender
