I dated a Non Binary person and it peaked me.

[EnbyEx]

Thought it might make an interesting AMA?

It’s more of a meaning of peak as ‘highest point.’ For ‘peaked’ in the meaning in this thread, it’s like how suddenly you’ve seen enough to have had enough of it and see for what it is.

Most of us were very nice and accepting of the odd person we felt bad for who was clearly struggling with gender dysphoria (and often still feel sympathy for the feelings themselves) but when women’s rape and domestic abuse services, sports, lesbian groups, prisons, medical services and the language of women itself started being infiltrated by men, along with the medicalisation of children then that was too much and the reality of the situation ‘peaked’ people to see it for what it was.

God that must have been tiresome
Did she predominantly sleep with females ( when not with you ) or was she attracted to both sex,s?

This.

People use those terms because they actually are quite common. I'm as uncool as they come but I have known what a DINKY is for decades.

But the mode of narcissistic and coercive control was through acquiring an NB identity (which is complete gender-woo nonsense) and constantly making the OP and OP’s family walk on eggshells re pronouns etc. Being butch or preferring ‘men’s clothes’ don’t suddenly make you a non-woman or ‘not male nor female.’

Nonsense. This isn't the issue the issue was they were a self obsessed controlling arsehole

But the whole movement is controlling. Its based on controlling what others can say and how they can react. No-one is allowed to say what they really think unless it conforms with who the 'trans' individually says they are. Of course that will impact on whether someone like OP can describe her own relationship.

Not all trans people agree with this. In fact many don't.

I respect nonbinary people and will use their pronouns, but no I believe it undermines the struggles of trans people to consider them trans.

I thought the whole TWAW thought ending cliche was

Transwomen are women
Transmen are men
Non-binary is valid

All under the mahossive trans ‘queer’ umbrella

So are you now saying no NB with the T?

Interesting exclusion, bit terfy?

Also Wiki (I know, I know) and TransHub somewhat disagree with you:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binary_gender
Non-binary[a] and genderqueer are umbrella terms for gender identities that are not solely male or female (identities outside the gender binary).[2][3] Non-binary identities often fall under the transgender umbrella since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from the sex assigned to them at birth,[3] though some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.

https://www.transhub.org.au/101/what-is-trans
There is no one correct way to be trans: it is an umbrella term that covers a large range of genders such as being non-binary, genderqueer, a Sistergirl or Brotherboy, genderfluid, having a binary gender, and more. Make sure you head to our Trans Mob page to learn more about the First Nations trans experience.

Interesting ama. Thanks OP. Glad you're happy now

Lol That's fine.

I never said I wasn't a bit terfy.

I don't agree that Transwomen are women, or transmen are men.

I think Transwomen are Transwomen and Transmen are Transmen.

I think nonbinary people are nonbinary but they aren't transitioning from one sex to the other. Hence they are Trans.

You can find loads of Trans people who take issue with nonbinary being labeled Trans.

"Basically got a prize for turning up"

Ooo maybe you're onto a strong lead there?

Dating a non-binary individual often serves as a profound catalyst for personal and professional growth, providing a firsthand perspective on the complexities of gender identity beyond traditional frameworks. This experience frequently "peaks" one’s awareness by deconstructing long-held social norms and highlighting the importance of nuanced, inclusive language. In an Australian context, such a shift reinforces a commitment to "fair dinkum" respect and intersectional advocacy, ensuring that human rights are approached with a sophisticated understanding of gender diversity. Ultimately, this journey fosters a more empathetic and informed outlook, bridging the gap between academic theory and the lived realities of gender-diverse communities.

Just beautiful. A classic of the genre.

I’ll have one word salad please
