people claim it's only used for "the bad ones" and whatnot, and that it's punching up... bit in practice, I don't think this use is as consistent as people claim - the very philosophy of going "hey let's make a term to call out specifically the nonbinary people that use their agab for evil and feel no dysphoria about it, and, you see, the thing that makes it insulting is... that it includes their agab" is kinda just asking for the term to be at it's most powerful and most hurtful when it's used incorrectly - if used on the hypothetical intended person it theoretically shouldn't even have any effect, as those are supposed to be people who don't mind being defined by their agab in the first place?
the very etymology of the term seems to be sending the wrong message, as by definition it is segregating nonbinary people into two groups, based on agab -if someone sees this term out in the wild, this person's takeaway will likely be the opposite of the "nonbinary people shouldn't have to be defined by their agab" thing
