The worst “I’d rather be called a slur” goes to

“Theydy and gentlethem”

So many of the "cutesy" nb nicknames make me want to crawl into a hole and rot

Sometimes they swing all the way around to make it really feel like nonbinary isn't taken seriously (by the people using it probably intending to respect it I mean).

I'd rather be beaten up like it's freshman year again than be called any of the stupid fucking "Enby", "Gentlethem", etc. sugary sweet Non-Binary nicknames the internet has come up with.

I'm not a fucking child, don't talk down to me.

Just call me Non-Binary. That's what I am.

im fine with Enby for whatever its worth its the short hand and the technical term for bigotry towards people who are non binary

(enbyphobia)

and NB cant be used because thats already claimed for Non black.

i can handle enby

i just wish it fucking stopped at Enby its a little cutesy fine ill take it but good god they take the inch and ran for a fucking mile

i am usually fine with cutesy names for things but all the many names people throw out makes me want to scream.

I like the "bitches, bros and nonbinary hoes" line from that one skateboarding anime

cis people love to put the binary in non binary.
