- josephcsible 5y ago"Binary people" means "women and men".
- yucky 5y agoWhat percent of the population is that...99.6%?
- thaneross 5y agoThis is an excellent point that I hadn't properly considered before. The term "non-binary" invokes a strawman that it proceeds to tear down. The notion is if you don't accept the idea that gender is an arbitrary social construction, you must therefore believe people fall into rigid, simplistic categories.
