What's the point? People who think they're nonbinary are male or female, and will look male or female.

This is the exact tragic-kinda post I saw coming that made me think I should put it in serious debates instead of elsewhere.. Wasn't expecting it so early on, I'll be honest, kudos for that.

Can you have a serious debate about emojis and people who think they're nonbinary?

I cba to have that debate atm, but there's clearly an opposing side to what is common knowledge, so I guess yes, unfortunately, that debate could be had.

(yes people can be male, female, both, or neither, no this doesn't always coincide with their genitals. Read more about things you're unsure of perhaps).

Nah they can't. Gender is the sex of your brain, if you have a female brain in a male body, you're trans. This much is neurologically observable and medically diagnosable. There is no scientific basis to being neither gender or both genders.

Whilst neuroanatomists have researched a lot more of the brains hemispheres over the last 50 years, we still have little understanding of how processing is made across those hemispheres. We may never know the true complexities of how the brain works. So just because there is no scientific basis, we shouldn't' assume there's no such thing as 'no' gender. We accept that you can be physically born with two genders and that hermaphrodites will follow both male and female patterns of the sex they were born with. Physical appearance makes it obvious but there's no proof that a hermaphrodite can't be born without both male and female organs.

Everyone is non-binary by very definition...there may be 1 or 2 people in the world who are purely feminine or masculine, and embody every stereotype...but these people (if they exist at all) are rare. So really, non-binary is the 'norm' anyway so those claiming snowflake status because of it are kinda mistaken. Its also rather insulting to suggest that everyone besides you and your friends is 'cis' meaning they identify with the stereotypical roles associated with their sex. Which is usually how these kinds of conversations go down...

More emojis is always a good thing though tbh But why there needs to be a huge hooha over some female people liking having short hair, or males liking to wearing dresses...its kind of beyond me.

That was my first thought tbh. Like who even uses the little emojis that look like people? The classic bald yellow emojis have always been gender neutral ...

Who posts faces like that anyway?

They're not portraying anything other than.... face.

At least the yellow ones portray an emotion or mood.
