so what would you suggest people who do not want to be referred to as man or woman call themselves?

Blenders. Gender ephemeral. Intangibles. An even cooler fourth option, probably.

There are tons of cool names you could go with when your identity lies outside of preconceived boundaries (and pretty much transcends them). But, non-binary's pretty clinical-sounding, so I guess it's easier to work into a professional setting or something.

Enbies? Although the base of the term does come back around to the original phrase.

On the gender spectrum?

I don't know, I think this debate is silly.

It’s easy to call a discussion silly if it doesn’t affect you personally.

I just mean this whole premise. The idea that being nonbinary is its own binary. It's a categorically different comparison. The "binaries" OP sets up are a:b versus (a+b):c, when really it should be a+b+c+d etc.

The comment you were replying to wasn’t about the image in the op though. It was a discussion about someone not liking people who do not identify as man or woman referring to themselves as non-binary.
