    The issue in the comic is this: a nonbinary person exists. Random bystander: “are you a man or woman?” NB: I’m neither. Bystander then proceeds to ask what genitalia they have, not taking “nonbinary” as a valid answer. Yes the enby in the comic was snarky about it. I wouldn’t do that if someone was genuinely asking, but the comic suggests the bystander was being judgemental or otherwise a jerk about it. In which case yeah, I’m gonna be mean right back.

        These people exist. I’ve met them, my friends have met them, and I personally have been abused by them. This is not a strawman argument, it’s a snarky comic aimed at real people who have hurt people like me. I don’t see why attacking those people is “arrogant and attention seeking.” Were not pretending to be victims, we’re attacking people who have hurt us through humor and snarky remarks… a perfectly reasonable response I’d say. I also apologize for assuming you’re one of those people, I was quick to jump to that conclusion when it looked like you were defending such actions…
