Some bloke out of queer eye

**^^Do you think femininity is something everyone should try

And Jonathan’s definition of feminity appears to be wearing nail polish and scarves. Jon - you’re a bloke who sometimes likes to wear women’s clothes and makeup and nail polish. There’s nothing wrong with that (back in the 80’s there were lots of arty blokes doing just that) but NONE of it makes you a woman or non-binary. For the record I don’t wear nail polish so I’ve concluded I’m non-binary too.

Feeling like you want to zhuzh it up some days is not “woman feeling”.

By all means bang on some guy liner and glittery trollies but can we stop making it mean anything more than “at times my tastes are a bit flamboyant”, please?

Non-binary, non-shminary.

Gender fluid baffles the fuck out of me. We are constantly told about male and female brains etc so, how can someone be one today and another tomorrow? Makes no fucking sense. I don’t know who this guy is but he mentions gender non conforming which is fine, I think more people should be like this. Gender is bullshit and made to keep us in our little boxes, it needs done away with and you are your sex and everything else is personality.

He can't know that he feels like a woman, because 1. there is no universal woman feeling and 2. even if there was, only women would feel it.

It's great to be gender non-conforming, but it's totally regressive to explain it via 'women's feelings'.

So tired of the nonsense. Really tired. Because I have kids with GD, this has been a dominant theme in my life for the past three years, and I am over it. I am over this regressive, anti woman, vileness.

Really sad to see this. I always thought of the Queer Eye guys as expanding the bandwidth of masculinity
I'm still struggling to understand what 'nonbinary' means. No surgery or anything I assume? Will he be using men's or women's facilities? Or mixing it up as the mood takes him?

As long as in the days he "feels like a woman" he doesn't then feel entitled to impose himself into female only spaces.

If gender is a spectrum then we're all non-binary by default

"Like, some days I feel like a man, but then other days I feel like a woman"

My frustration is that we never get an explanation of what this statement means.

Feeling like a woman seems to mean liking sparkly glittery shallow shit apparently. And we're never told what feeling like a man actually is.

It seems to enforce the binary; not challenge it.

"Like, some days I feel white, but then other days I feel black". Imagine someone saying this and nobody asking any questions about what feeling white or black actually entails.

I'd love to see an interview with someone who said. "Like, some days I feel like a man, but then other days I feel like a woman and what I mean by that is ......

I read it as challenging it. His insistence that he doesn't really feel like a woman reads as though he thinks it's a nonsense.

Only my perception of course. I'm biased because I like him

I does think this goes anywhere near bringing this “non-binary” bollocks to an end though - it’s perpetuating the myth that a gender non-conforming man isn’t really a man and shouldn’t call themselves a man.

This non-binary shit is pervasive dangerous nonsense. It confuses personality traits with gender.

He's a gay man who likes nail varnish. Who gives a shit

Jonathan is not demanding people use pronouns, he isn't demanding access to sexed facilities, he is just wanting to express himself in what ever way he wishes without believing all the other guff.

I think he could be important, bringing this non binary silliness to an end. Back to men and women expressing themselves how they wish without lobbying for changes to safeguarding policies.

I'm a fan of Jonathan, he expresses himself well, is intelligent and unafraid to push silly boundaries.

other days I feel like a woman.
He feels like he has ovaries and fallopian tubes and a feeling of belonging to the group that is expected to wipe arses and scrub floors, as Glosswitch puts it?
No, he doesn't mean that.
He means he embodies the wommanylaydee stereotypes he pretends he's breaking down.

How do these 'woman' days manifest, exactly? With period pains? Or with a desire to read chick lit and watch romcoms and have pillowfights?

Men this daft should just shush. Or go and read a book. Just anything but talk about having 'woman' days.

Why the contempt then, the swearing? You can be who you need to be (straight single man or whatever) but not at the expense of others.

It is just someone who spies an opportunity. Nothing wrong with that of course.

Coming out as non-binary just when you have nail polish to hawk?

Colour me shocked.

And what has this label come to be known as Caucho?

Honestly, people can express themselves however the fuck they like
Oh, just leave people be fgs
Yes, quite.
Just get on with it. Don't make me use weird pronouns specifically for you and make me pretend you're not a man anymore because you've put on some eyeliner.

This is how I understand non binary, he explains it well
He's still a male person though
