    Not what I meant but good try. That’s not a respectful comment.

      that’s not what concern trolling even means, ffs.
      this is concern trolling:

      i.e. accusing people of doing things they’re not.
      me saying “people are free to associate however they want” but preferring a more accurate description is not concern trolling.
      gender isn’t binary.
      being non-binary doesn’t make sense in that context.
      i don’t respect the way you’re speaking to me disrespectfully.
      say something other than “you bad”. explain it or you’re just flaming

        you bad. You were debating the validity of a widely used term for gender expression and denigrating the use of “non-binary” as latching onto a futuristic term.

          discussing how a word feels to me is not denigrating, it is expressing an opinion.
          i was never debating the validity of a term, i was commenting on my own personal opinion of the aesthetics of the term… which is entirely valid and i will always respect any person’s preferences of references…
          odd coincidence that binary is being used constantly in every other aspect of the world at the exact same time non-binary was popularized, don’t you think?
          do you really not get that connection?
