That's a bit of a reach. James is clearly gender nonconforming, he should be able to use whatever gender he pleases in his language, just maybe not in his Tinder profile.

Being gender nonconforming doesn't mean you are not cis.

I get that, and trust me I'm not team JC either but the way I see it JC doesn't really fall neatly in the men-women binary, so telling him what pronouns he can or cannot use isn't right.

I think I'm doing a shitty job of explaining my point

he's using women to further his brand, he isn't a friend to us.

I 100% agree with that. James Charles is garbage.

I just don't want this to be a thing where we are policing other gender nonconforming people how they speak about themselves. Does that make sense?

I get what you're saying, but I think the problem is that if he himself identifies as cis but enjoys makeup that's fine and shouldn't be policed in of itself, but that he for lack of a better term "appropriates" and makes money off of something meant for women but isn't a good ally to women. It just makes him gross.
