This is the most incoherent thing I’ve read in a while. There’s hardly any discussion of dysphoria or bodies but lots of talk about fashion. These people think “gender identity” is something akin to the soul but the way they talk about it is pure style.https://www.teenvogue.com/story/trans-masculine-non-binary-conversation-affirmation-identity-beauty …
For me, I don't have control over the gender my hindbrain bins people as. I can't consciously decide to view people as the gender they want me to, if it's different from how they look. The people that successfully confuse my brain into 'no gender' are mostly mid-passing trans.

Nonbinary literally means “not binary”

I don’t know how “nonbinary” isn’t not male or female when that’s literally....what the word means

But that’s something in your brain. Don’t project your inability to view nonbinary people as nonbinary as them not “really” being nonbinary.

But what does nonbinary *mean* then? They say they don't identify as either gender, but I don't know what that *means*, to identify as a gender. Your gender doesn't belong to you; you can't just decide what your gender is. Maybe we have different understandings of what gender is.
