For centuries, men were men, women were women, and nobody had a damn identity crisis about it.

Now? Every other kid on TikTok is suddenly “non-binary.”

We went from “I’m a person” to “I’m an ethereal genderless spirit creature” in record time.

Why?

Because most of these people aren’t actually non-binary.

They’re just bored.

“Non-Binary” Is A Trend, Not A Reality

Let’s look at the numbers, because math doesn’t give a fuck about feelings.

In 2014, less than 0.5% of people in the U.S. identified as non-binary or genderfluid.

By 2021, that number skyrocketed to 5%—a 900% increase in less than a decade.

Among Gen Z? Over 25% claim to be “somewhere on the gender spectrum.”

Let me ask you something:

Did human biology change overnight?

Did evolution pull a U-turn in the last decade?

Or—and hear me out—is it more likely that being non-binary just became trendy?

Because if we’re suddenly seeing millions of people “discover” a gender identity crisis that literally never existed before, we need to ask:

👉 Is this real? 👉 Or is this just people desperate for attention?

The Non-Binary “Awakening” Is Just Tumblr 2.0

Back in the 2010s, this exact same pattern happened with:

“Pansexuality” (which, let’s be real, is just bisexual with extra steps)

“Otherkin” (people who insisted they were animals in human bodies)

“Demisexuality” (congratulations, you need an emotional connection to have sex—you’re just a normal person)

What happened?

It died off. Because it wasn’t real.

But gender? That’s the new hot trend.

And why wouldn’t it be?

You get instant validation online.

You get a special identity without having to achieve anything.

You get to be oppressed without having to actually experience hardship.

Who needs a personality when you can just claim a new gender every week and demand applause for it?

99% Of “Non-Binary” People Still Magically Align With Their Birth Sex

Let’s talk about how convenient this trend is.

Non-binary “men”—still act and dress like men.

Non-binary “women”—still act and dress like women.

You ever notice that?

They’ll scream at you that they’re not male or female, but 99% of them still look and behave like their birth sex.

They don’t transition. They don’t take hormones. They don’t change their physical presentation.

They just throw on a they/them pronoun in their bio and expect the world to rearrange itself around their new, fragile identity.

Because the truth is?

👉 They don’t actually believe they’re non-binary. 👉 They just like the attention that comes with it.

And in a world where being a regular man or woman is “boring,” what better way to stand out than making up an identity out of thin air?

Science Still Says There Are Two Genders—Cry About It

I know this upsets Twitter users with septum piercings, but:

👉 Every scientific study, every biological textbook, and every credible geneticist confirms that there are two sexes: male and female.

👉 99.98% of humans are born with either XY or XX chromosomes. (The other 0.02% are actual intersex individuals—a biological disorder, not a third gender.)

👉 No amount of “gender feelings” will change that.

So when someone says, “I’m neither male nor female, I’m non-binary,” what they really mean is:

🚨 “I am experiencing an existential crisis but instead of therapy, I decided to change my pronouns.”

And instead of saying “Damn, maybe I need a hobby,” they demand that the entire planet cater to their new self-diagnosed identity.

“But Gender Isn’t Biological, It’s A Social Construct!”

Wrong.

Languages across every culture—from Chinese to Arabic to Latin—have gender built into them.

Every civilization since the dawn of time has recognized two genders.

Animals, insects, and even goddamn plants operate on a male/female reproductive system.

But suddenly, in 2020, we discovered that all of history was wrong and Twitter activists are the new experts.

Sure.

The Harsh Truth: You’re Not Non-Binary—You’re Just Bored, Lonely, Or Looking For Clout

The explosion of non-binary identity isn’t a biological shift or a cultural enlightenment.

It’s a boredom epidemic.

People used to find meaning through:

✔ Building a career ✔ Raising a family ✔ Creating art ✔ Developing a real personality

Now?

People log onto TikTok, see a blue-haired activist getting 500,000 likes for saying “I just discovered I’m genderfluid,” and suddenly…

💡 “I’m non-binary too!”

Not because it’s real. Not because they ever struggled with gender before. But because it’s trendy, it gets attention, and it gives them something to put in their bio.

And the second this trend dies?

They’ll quietly drop it and pretend it never happened—just like they did with their Tumblr self-diagnosed mental illnesses.

Final Thought: Reality Always Wins

You can scream your gender feelings into the void. You can write 37 pronouns in your bio. You can throw a tantrum when someone says “sir” or “ma’am” in public.

But at the end of the day?

👉 Reality doesn’t care.

There are men and women. That’s it. That’s all there ever was. That’s all there ever will be.

And deep down? You know it.

Now go touch some grass.

My Foods class (like a regular cooking class, but for idiots) was making biscuits and gravy. Everything was going fine until the kitchen besides me went up in flames. Nobody did anything and watched the fire as if we were at some kind of cookout bonfire. The fire was all the way up to the cabinets. The sub freaks out… there’s screaming, crying and gnashing of teeth trying to put this fire out.

I have never witnessed so much stupid, in one class period, in my entire life.

1. One kid grabs a highly flammable towel and tries to bat it out like he some kind of Babe Ruth. 2. THE SUB is screaming to get water to put out an obvious grease fire. 3. Another brainless student gently caressed the fire hydrant which was no less than a foot away from the scene, clearly undecided whether or not to actually use it.

And in a class of almost twenty students, no one thought to actually turn. Off. The. Stove.
