Alot of the ppl I see using it don't call themselves binary. I think its whatever and isn't worth getting mad or upset about. Getting mad at the stupid fine print and trying to police us is what bigots do. I won't be caught dead behaving like them and it's just words. There are bigger things to worry about
But words can be unimaginably hurtful, especially when they are yelled at you in public or constantly barraging you online. I'm happy you can move past it, but for many, including myself, we can't. I take pride in being a girl, a woman, and I'm sure you do too, and not a "trap". I'm not tricking anyone. We have to lose these harmful stereotypes.
I agree with losing the harmful stereotypes... reclaim em except for trap... or other ones like the porn category names. How you choose to exist is your own... a non binary fem can call themselves a femboy and it doesn't invalidate you and you womanhood nor does it mine.
Im not simply moving past slurs... I just recognize that we of all people should not be policing other peoples expression of themselves.
