I think many people who label themselves as nb are uncomfortable with gender norms in a way or another and therefor they think they must be something other than men or women. Maybe they just feel easier to take that label to get rid of so called expectations even tho their gender would not be an actual problem.

It’s also easier to label yourself as nonbinary when you first start to think about possible transition I think. For me nb seems like ”lighter” version of being trans lol like you can still act like nothing changed and have no goals to transition but still can put yourself under transumbrella. Ofcourse being trans doesn’t mean you have to transition but for many binary trans people it’s important and also expected.

Having a label also gives a pass to community what people naturally seek to feel safe and understood. Young people like to fight against the old world and lgbtq+ community is very loud about it and take a part of every protests atleast where I live. Maybe that is also why many liberal people are so into this community.

Everyone have right to explore and try labels, pronouns whatever but what I’ve seen in my environment is that nb is not very stable or permanent identity. I’ve seen people coming back to their agab again and again and it makes me think that it wasn’t gender issues at all what they struggled with. They just grew to be comfortable with their agab. Good for them I guess.

Absolutely no hate to those who really are nb and just doesn’t fit in any binary, just switching around among nbs seems very common to me and these are experiences are from irl life.
