I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion on here or not but I really think that this 'gender non binary' thing is basically a fashion trend.
My daughter had some friends over the other day and one was a girl who we've known for years who now identifies as 'they' and one of the others was a guy wearing a dress. Don't know him but he seemed pleasant enough.
I am of the opinion that this is a fad rather like everyone having a tattoo and piercings was some years back.
It’s definitely not an unpopular opinion, I’m in total agreement with you. There is no such thing as non-binary, we are all either female or male (yes, even people with DSDs.) These people are just desperate for attention, and sadly coming out as so-called NB or transgender seems to be the thing to do these days if you want attention and praise lavished on you.
It’s all linked to social media and the insidious way it has become so important for young people to feel ‘validated.’ Just from looking at the photo, I can see that the person in that video is a woman. It is very much a trend and I refuse to take part in or affirm their delusions. Many young people just desperately want to be different in some way and this NB
bull is an easy way to do it, which also gains them the attention and sympathy they desire.
I bet if their parent’s generation started identifying as NB, then it would very quickly stop being seen as a ‘cool’ thing to do.
ETA This was a response to a post from yesterday and I’ve only just realised that I’d forgotten to press post!
