in conclusion, there is no reason to be dick to non-binary genders. You're not being morally/intellectually superior, you're just being obnoxious. Use their preferred name and pronouns, and don't make a federal case out of it.

About 30% of non-binary people in Australia have suffered thoughts of suicide or self harm n the last 2 weeks.[45] Non-binary people are more likely to suffer drug problems than the general population.144 Non binary people are more likely to experience physical assaults, police brutality and harassment than trans people with a binary gender. 451 They are more likely to lose their job than cisgender people 46 Terms [edit] Binarism The intersection of colonialism and the insistence that there are only 2 genders (e.g. the erasure of culture-specific genders.) In a nutshell: colonialist invaders created the gender binary Pros: can be used describe the experiences of nonbinary TWo-Spirit Native Americans and other Indigenous people affected by binarism Cons: is confused with enbyphobia. It may feel as the term is grouping all nonbinary people of color's diverse experiences together. This term does not work well for nonbinary people of color who are not affected by colonialism or that the gender binary has always existed in their culture Exorsexism The discrimination/erasure of non-binary people Pros: Avoids the "phobia" suffix. Cons: may be confusing as it's hard to guess the definition of the term. It was coined from an American-centered perspective, thus it assumes that enbyphobia originates from Europe Enbyphobia/NBphobia The discrimination/erasure of non-binary people Pros: as it follows from trans-phobia and h----phobia, the meaning of NBphobia is easier to guess Cons: uses the -phobia suffix. Point can be derailed with strawmen arguments of "I therefore can't be a nbphobe and lI'm not frightened by nonbinary genders." Criticism [edit] Since the inception of the modern non-binary movement, it has garnered skepticism, negative criticism, derision and even violence against non-binaries. Many non-binary people are accused of being "special snowflakes", "attention w-----", among other names. However, this criticism ignores the fact that gender identity has a largely personal component to it. In addition, something as simple as asserting oneself of their identification tends to cause derision and hatred to be sent that person's way. Until science provides any insight into gender binaries and whether there's any scientific basis to them, there is little in the way of criticism about a nonbinary person, technically speaking, which can be directed towards them in a constructive manner. If the person was claiming to be non-binary merely to garner attention, people scrutinizing them and berating them rather than treating their non-binary identity as just a matter of fact would be feeding the desire for attention It can also be argued that the dismissal of non-binary identity is extremely ethnocentric, as other cultures have recognized cogender identities. If one insists that male and female are the only genders, one dismisses the self-identification and cultural importance of the various identities described above Finally, if exploring one's gender identity is a "trend", as some have called it, then it is better than the previous trend of feeling isolated, alone, and having absolutely no means of articulating one's feelings, let alone finding a community that shares them So, in conclusion, there is no reason to be d--- to non-binary genders. You're not being morally/intellectually superior, you're just being obnoxious. Use their preferred name and pronouns, and don't make a federal case out of it.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/335/019/da4.png "in conclusion, there is no reason to be d--- to non-binary genders.
