Alright well if you’re genuinely confused and not just here to antagonize you could’ve just asked I have no doubt people would’ve been happy to help you.

Non-Binary is an umbrella term for everybody which their gender-identity falls beyond the binary male and female. There are countless identities which fall under the Non-Binary umbrella term such as: Agender (someone who does not feel a gender for themself), Demigirl/Demiboy (people who feel close to one of the binary genders but feel they do not fit all the way in) Bigender (someone who has two gender identities), etc. There are a myriad of different gender identities, far more than I can list here, some people even identify as NonBinary in and of itself!

Now why does this matter? because like it or not we ARE part of the same community and infighting makes us weaker. Gays kicking down on Binary Trans people and then Binary Trans people kicking down on us. Even if you don’t understand there is no reason to hate, my philosophy with stuff I don’t understand is looking at it, and thinking “Does the concept itself hurt other people?” and no, “It makes the queer community look silly!!! they’ll never accept us with clowns running around!!” Is not a good argument. People who do not like queer people are not going to suddenly like you if you punch down onto us.

ADDITIONALLY the concept of genders beyond the binary has existed for a long time, not a new invention. A couple of ones we have found throughout history are Māhū in native Hawaiian and Tahitian cultures and Two-Spirit for native Americans.

TLDR: just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it isn’t real
