Goddamn, I hate that whole "fad" idea. Aside from the fact that it wouldn't be hurting anyone even if it was... I have enough neuroses about my lack of gender, and know enough other nb people with similar neuroses, that I respond really negatively to people saying it's about trends or faking or being a special snowflake. (As someone who's not just non-binary, but also demisexual, pansexual, autistic, and depressed, I have grown to hate the "special snowflake" label with an all-consuming force). Like, you're basically stabbing people right in the paranoia every time you say that.

so basically yeah I 10000% agree and thanks for putting it so succinctly into words.
