Re: What's your opinion on nonbinary identities?

Yep. It's an "I'm not like those other girls" thing, usually rooted in a considerable amount of internal misogyny and/or self-hatred. It's based on the idea that feminine things are somehow bad and shameful and therefore identifying as female is equally bad and shameful.

I know because I've been there. Then I grew up and realized how stupid and sexist it was.

What about AMAB non-binary people

I think it's pretty telling that I have literally never met one. Ever.

So AFAB non binary identities aren't real because you personally used to identify that way and were wrong. And AMAB non binary identities aren't real because you personally haven't met any.

I'm familiar with a good number of trans women, but I have never in my life even heard about an AMAB NB person. I believe there are NB people and that there are AMAB NB people, but I don't think it's a coincidence that all NB people I've come across have been AFAB, and that all of those I've known IRL come from the same background (anime fandom).

Okay, if that makes it easy to dismiss them and their gender identities, ya bigot. Go for it.

I think it's telling for the same reason it's telling that there are "fewer" bisexual men than women. There aren't actually fewer, and you probably have met AMAB NB people: Just not ones that are out about it yet because it's less socially acceptable for someone to deviate from maleness.

I'm glad you took the opportunity to experiment with the idea that you might be nonbinary so that you could try it and eventually decide it's not fitting for who you are. More people should be able to feel comfortable doing that without being judged for it. Some of them will reach the same conclusion you did, and others will continue to feel at home in their NB identity for the rest of their lives. That would be so much healthier for everyone than being too ashamed to try it out because they'd be made to feel bad if they turn out to be wrong.

As a cis woman who’s never identified as anything else and also hated my body since shortly before I hit puberty for never being feminine enough, I seriously doubt every non-binary person in the world identifies that way out of internalized self-hatred. And I also don’t get why so many people are determined to shit on non-binary people. They’re not hurting anyone (not even themselves.) Save “that’s not a real self-identifier” for, idk, otherkin.
