It was context for their point though? The point they were making is that getting called the opposite gender of what they were assigned at birth still feels equally as invalidating and frustrating. Some people see nonbinary people, and apply the opposite binary pronouns to their agab in a strange attempt to validate them

that’s also true for amab nonbinary people. agab isn’t relevant.

Yes, it is also true for amab people. Again though, the op specified their agab to make it clear that being called a guy was the opposite of their agab. It was context for their point

It is relevant to me in this moment tho. I’m very feminine and while people shouldn’t assume I’m a girl, they do. But I also get pissed off when people go to the opposite extreme. I’m not any random nonbinary person. I am me and I have my own identity.

Also while it is sometimes true for others, it’s not always. I’d like to specify this. (And I appreciate you having my back here) But nonbinary people (and people in general) all have the right to their own relationship with gender and pronouns.
