I have multiple nb friends, and yes I am guilty of using the wrong pronouns or deadnaming them just out of habit. They’ll normally just politely remind me, I’ll apologise, and we move on, which is how it should be.

But to completely disregard nb people and tell them its just a phase is uncalled for.

Also, what about the census and issues that need actual biological sex information for services and planning and statistics? If sex and gender are different things then why is there a push to remove the F/M sex option and replace it with gender and non binary options? Imo Sex based information is important and it is reality and shouldn't be erased.
