BW#236 Non-binary

A descriptor for gender identities that are not exclusively male or female

‘Non-binary’ is on the Banned Words list because the concept falls outside Trump’s ideas of biological reality, which falls outside of reality’s reality. Any publication or display that acknowledged the existence of a non-binary was marked for destruction / defunding. Lack of respect for non-binary genders leads to attempts to make people change their identity through coercion, with a focus on youth — which leads institutions to condone harassment and bullying. Efforts to condemn gender diverse identities of young people has included complaints that gender diverse identities are a fad or the result of peer pressure — or as El0n Msk likes to say, the result of a ‘woke mind virus.’ Identities as disease was a favorite tool of the Nazis. See this Erin in the Morning post about how study data is manipulated to try to prop up views of gender diverse people as unreal:
