The reason it/its pronouns sound nonbinary is that they are. You're taking away Tate's he/him pronouns because you want to take away his masculinity. You're saying he has no more gender than a photocopying machine. Trump is a sexist, and you're calling him sexless as an act of revenge. Unfortunately it doesn't work. It's about as effective as calling Donald Trump the N word. All you're doing is saying that A: you think less of genderless things than male things, and B: you think someone's right to their gender can be taken away if they're evil enough. Neither of those is an empowering message for Tate's victims to hear. Your lie about how long enbies have been around was also not empowering.
Your inaccuracy in the timeframe says a lot, too. Non-binary genders have been traced back to around 2000 BCE, but more modern ideas of it started around the 1960s and were made popular in the 2000s. And again, that's a binary way of thinking. You think I should either agree with you or I'm the enemy. That's not how life works. And then you go on to accuse me of lying when I was conceding because I didn't think I knew enough about the history. And don't assume you know what I believe. I already said it has nothing to with gender, but humanity. I explained how I separate the difference, and I'm going to continue doing the same thing
Also did you really compare "it" with the "N" word?
I don't think you're the enemy, I just think you're weird.
Been called worse. And the feeling is mutual
