@Daydreamer: Ok, that makes more sense! But, though I havent seen many people that do it, I still believe that if a person was nonbinary, but more heavily male-aligned, it would make sense for them to only use he/him. Like, maybe they feel masculine, but they dont fit in with the traditional sense of masculinity. I used to use only he/him for awhile, too, since it made me most comfortable in the moment. But now, I use they/he. I think it really just depends on the person and their experience. But I do agree that there have been cases where people do just try to force themselves into communities, which I do not appreciate in the slightest. Sorry if I sounded rude, it wasn't my intention!

@Saplingsys: sorry I worded that odd that's on me, I mean if someone uses more than one pair of pronouns like he and/or she/they then yes they are non-binary, if they're like my sister and use all pronouns they are non-binary, if they're gender-fluid or only go by they/them they are under the category of non-binary, even using two pairs as I said like he/they they're under that non-binary umbrella, but when someone only uses he/him or she/her that's not non-binary even if that's the opposite of they're sex, for example I have a trans friend that goes by he/him and he's a boy, I don't mean this in a transphobic way at all, I'm a little gay boy with transgender, cis gender, non-binary, straight, bi, and lesbian friends, but what I'm trying to say is people have to stop finding every illogical excuse to force themself in communities they don't belong it, it's bad for themselves and the community kao cry

@Daydreamer: As a nonbinary person, it is completely fine if somebody is nonbinary and uses she/her or he/him pronouns. It is not forcing your way into the community. Nonbinary is a spectrum of genders. Someone can be completely androgynous, a mix of male and female or 2 other genders (bigender), or even closer to male or female. Those are all completely valid. Everyone experiences gender differently. If using a certain set of pronouns makes someone feel the most comfortable, why not use those pronouns for that person?

@K4V1TY_: (my phone glitched-) they do equal gender but not sex, if you’re female going by he/him pronouns then you’re a boy but if you’re strictly going by he/him pronouns and forcing yourself into the enby community that’s pretty disrespectful to those that are actually enby, this whole “we’re going to treat LGBTQ+ like trend and turn animals and food items into genders” is dismissive and offensive to people who and gone through extreme homophobia and illogical, I fully support doing what makes you happy but you don’t need to force yourself into communities you aren’t part of to fit in or feel special, sorry but it’s true

You can use any pronouns you want and any identity you want! Do what makes you feel most comfortable, the gender police aren't real. For example, I'm a trans man and I use he/him but I like feminine things a lot, and my partner is nonbinary and uses they/them, she/hers, and he/him.

I might get hated for this but whatever- but if you go by he/him only then you're a boy but if you go he/they you're a demi-boy however I do believe that's under the category of non-binary kao happy

You can use whatever pronouns you want. Pronouns do not decide your gender. I know enbies that go by she/her but they're still enby. It's whatever makes you the most comfortable.
