I suspect maybe my difficulty 'getting' nonbinary stuff is due to the strong lack of experience in my own life. I grew up in a world where being a woman was very shameful/got you treated worse, but that didn't mess with my gender identity. (cont)

I was never gay, but I understand gay. I was never an astronaut, but I understand space science. Reason you don't "get" it is simple: Because it is irrational and does not make sense. How do they know what it feels like to be another gender? The answer is simple: They don't.

I don't want to assume they're irrational. My best theory right now is that they're using a frame to function, and I find that frame inconsistent. This doesn't mean they're irrational.

Inconsistency does not always mean irrationality, but in their case the cause of that inconsistency is obvious. The difference between rational and irrational people is that the former fits the frame in reality while the latter tries to fit reality in the frame they want.
