- bloak 5y agoI agree that "Daniel" doesn't sound like the sort of person who could easily "come out as nonbinary" but there are people with more "flamboyant" personalities who would rather relish an excuse for drawing attention to themselves and winding people up in that way. There are a few people like that on every university campus, I think: the sort of people who are not trans or any kind of queer but cross-dress just for a laugh. So the trolly suggestion might work for a few people.
- jl6 5y agoThey wouldn't need to make any physical or behavioural changes, so I don't see why they would lose any of the things you mention.
- curtisblaine 5y agoMore than that: they would be automatically protected from any inquiry about changes of their physical or behavioural aspects (or lack thereof). How do you "measure" objectively if a person is "non-binary"?
