“Genders of nonbinary”
My friend, nonbinary is a gender. This is like asking what type of bird a chicken is.
That’s a bad analogy, because a chicken is a Galliform.
I knew it. I felt it the second I typed it that there was something wrong with the analogy and someone who knows birds more than me would come along and point it out. I posted the analogy anyway. That’s on me.
It was an excellent analogy.
TIL chickens can time travel.
Thank you for your service. Damn near fell out of my chair.
Nonbinary is a category of genders much like intersex is a category of sexes. It contains everything from agender to bigender to demigenders and all sorts of others. Much like how intersex can mean anything from completely ambiguous reproductive structures to anomalies of the sex chromosomes to natural hormone imbalance starting at puberty as well as several other traits. Sometimes it’s relevant to narrow it down.
