I think non-binary has run its course as a trend. Everyone is tired of it. It's like some tired dance craze that now clears the dance floor, the Macarena of identities.

I hope you’re right, but I know people personally who continuously defend non-binary people so I’m not so optimistic right now.

I didn't usually repost other people's whole comments but just ran across one there which lays this out so perfectly.

I have dated a NB individual. I have dated a trans individual. I would not again. I am fatally disinterested in gender. I never want to talk about it, certainly not in the capacity enjoyed by the many trans/NB individuals I've met. In my experience, obsession or pleasure in distinguishing one's identity through gender belies a certain shallowness and conceit that I haven't been able to reconcile. And, as many have already said, non-binary identities produce and reproduce the very gender roles and gender binary they claim to escape.

Looked at the comments and damn. So many delusional people who say that we as homosexuals should stand up for NBs just because society used to call us mentally ill 60 years ago. No, society called us mentally ill because they were ignorant about homosexuality. NBs are just attention seekers who perpetuate strict gender roles, and who don’t understand biological sex. But there are so many stupid people on this sub who insist that NB people are valid and they get lots of upvotes for their comments.

This is why I don’t put faith in AskGayBros.

Oh god, these people(NBs,Trans) are literally the not like those other girls memes that were very prevalent back 15 years ago.

Yes! I thought that comment was brilliant. It's like a balm when you read something so clear and concise against all this batshittery.

I just can't understand non-binary. To me it just screams "I'm an attention whore" and who would want to date that?

It's only positive function is to act as a warning sign that one should stay well away.

I know that men who call themselves non-binary are men. But no matter how hot he is, dating a delusional man is exhausting and emotionally taxing. Denying reality and language 24/7 is unnatural and I want nothing to do with it.

Staying with someone who force you to pretend they're male and female at the same time is exhausting. I

Hell, staying with someone who forces you to pretend ANYTHING is exhausting (not to mention intolerable)! Talk about high fuckin' maintenance...

I got ghosted about 2 days ago. Me[NB] and this guy had really hit it off, dates and fun stuff, we were gonna start getting more serious, but after I told him I was nonbinary he totally just disappeared.

Yeah, people lose their ability to consent after realizing they stuck their dick/smushed their puss in crazy.

No not into that as a gay man. I’m into cis men and trans men

I just... this response is wild given the context.

And honestly I’m kind of surprised to find in a sub full of gay men so many people flaunting their “male pride”. Yes we’re gaybros but that doesn’t mean our “masculine?” energy has to take away from anyone else’s expression or understanding of themselves. There’s plenty of men here that aren’t hyper masculine doppelgängers. If a bear can love a twink why can’t a gay love an NB?

Because having a different body than your boyfriend and both of you being sane is a wee bit different than pursuing a relationship with a crazy ideologue.
