The most perplexing aspect of gender identity is the fact that some people "identify as nonbinary". I can understand the concept of someone being transgender, but the nonbinary idea changes a lot of really fundamental concepts. Transgender doesn't negate the idea of gender's existence. It just effectively is someone switching their position within the binary. However, the nonbinary concept is more like the anywhere and everywhere at the same time mindset and understanding. There's no clearly tangible and definable reality to it whatsoever, especially with the "they/them" pronouns. Because that almost implies that one can be two things at once, which is basically like Schrodinger's cat.
Also, there's something else I wonder about this whole nonbinary concept. Today, most people who identify as nonbinary are fairly young, but will they continue to when they get older? Will it be a lifelong thing like transgender is or will most of them simply be feminine men and masculine women? Especially since most nonbinary people do not actually take steps to change their physical body. It's usually just a matter of presenting differently. A better approach would be to simply not judge people for doing things "atypical for their gender" and simply let people be themselves. Labeling it as "in between genders" doesn't seem necessary. But I wouldn't not call someone by their "preferred pronouns".
Look at it this way. I think that people fucking suck, and would rather not have to identify as part of the human race. Because most of them are idiots. I kind do feel that way to an extent these days honestly lol. I honestly feel like I'm in a completely different category of species and don't fall into any category, and I am not human or any other species. Oh and because I am so different than everyone else, please call me "the one" or something like that. It's my preferred pronoun now, and admittedly it does sound kind of cool. Would anyone go along with that? That's fucking absurd, but where do you draw the line? At what point does it become just making up words and concepts with no reality?
Though, the more you think about it, what would happen if people went along with this whole calling me "the one" instead of he/him (please don't, because this is absolutely fucking stupid, I'm just explaining a point)? Well, not really anything. What if everyone came up with some ridiculous "preferred pronoun" like "the one". Well, then you could just use people's names and just throw out the concept of pronouns entirely. There would be absolutely nothing wrong with that honestly. However, what if I did start asking people to call me "the one", because I don't identify as human or any other species. I simply don't fall into any type of "species binaries", because I feel so different than everyone else.
What would everyone think about that? Well, hopefully everyone would think that was absolutely fucking stupid and insane. Because it would be. The nonbinary gender thing is obviously somewhat different, but how different? At what point do we draw the line when it comes to snowflake-ism? Or do we even draw the line at all? Maybe not. A friend of mine who was dropping acid and mushrooms multiple times a week for months or perhaps even years on end thought that you could "fly if you really believed it enough". Fuck knows though, how do we really know that there's not some truth to this concept? We don't. Given some of the things that I have researched, it might be honestly. Maybe. Somehow.
So, then why use pronouns at all? It does kind of seem like the they/them thing as a form of "Look at me, I'm different" basically. Though, there is one major exception to this. Intersex. Because there is clear physical reality to it. That is a physical reality there, and people who are intersex really do not need to fit into any binary in terms of gender. However, I don't get how that applies to someone who was born as a biological male or female. Basically, the idea is that pronouns are simply a way of expressing oneself. There's nothing really wrong with that, but what is the point exactly? Pronouns are used for talking about someone, not to them. So, you could just use people's names instead. That being said, I would go along with the they/them thing if I had to, rather than knowingly being offensive to someone for no reason.
