Is your basis for the idea we don't know what we're talking about that you disagree with us?
Conversation
more the fact that you're sitting here musing to each other about things you're incapable of understanding firsthand instead of literally just listening to the people who actually have these experiences, but what you said is more internally consistent with said circle jerk so w/e

I, too, was once a young person desperate to be special so I’m pretty sure I get it.

I don't think nonbinariness is (though it can be) an attempt to be special; I think it's much closer to unresolved trauma expression.

Thanks for asking! I have talked to a lot of nonbinary people (as well as read a lot of articles by and about enbies). So I don't have a lot of authority; I mostly follow my confusion, and there's a *lot* about the genderfluid framework that is deeply confusing.

"the genderfluid framework" lmao calm down, not everything needs a grand unifying theory. there are as many frameworks to being nonbinary as there are nonbinary people, because gender is inherently personal, and the only thing uniting us is that we don't fit the binary framework

how about you follow your confusion away from this conversation and stop talking over nonbinary people to explain our own identities to us

anyway it's ok not to understand something. if you can't handle confusion without trying to explain something you can't understand firsthand, that's your problem. idg pro sports, but u don't see me spouting half baked takes abt athletics being an expression of trauma

I've been not saying anything about this and asking questions for literally years - including getting booted from enby groups because they didn't want to do 'labor answering questions.' At this point, with my questions not answered well, I'm ready to start expressing opinions.
