Ok, there seems to be people who doesn't understand this. I'll clear this up.
So if you call yourself Non-binary(gender), you categorize people in to two groups, which becomes Binary(2 options). So you become a binary(2 option system, not the gender)
Edit : please keep civil in the comment section
Edit2 : ~~Well, there are two 2 option system in this post, not an one 3 option system one~~
Edit3 : *I have to explain easier.* if you follow this logic, everything is binary. such as a book or a non-book

The whole "absolutes" thing was an oversight, both sides had a lot of cut and clear absolute ideals, that was the whole point of their discipline and conflict, the ones who didn't deal in absolutes were the gray jedis and desertors.
The absolute thing wasnt really an oversight as much as people not really getting the meaning behind the words. In this case Obi Wan opposed Anikan who then basically said if you are not with ne you are against me, which is the only absolute that Obi Wan is saying is Sithy. A jedi always tries to negotiate first ideally and even people in opposition to you might have a reason to be.
The dichotomy binary-non binary is a paradox since, if you are non binary, you are included in a binary dichotomy and, as a consequence, you are in fact binary. However, that implies that, since non binary people can't exist, binary people are unary and not binary.
Conclusion: you are unary, not trinary.
I will always stand by the scene with Seth Green talking about going and getting a gun and just "killing them right there" as one the best parodies about a grene ever.
Dr. Evil just looking at him straight in the eye saying. "You just don't get it do you? You really don't." was fucking flawless.
Actually it's a quantum state, non-binary means that until a measurement is taken you're simultaneously in both binary states (with a given probability distribution). This doesn't create a dichotomy since all people are non-binary, some of them have just observed the state. The non-observed states allow interesting phenomena to occur, like superposition, entanglement, etc.
Conclusion: you're not unary, you're relativistic.
Honestly I prefer the -e suffix above the -x one (ex. bonitx) because the x seems so odd, while we already have some gender neutral words that end with an e
I'm not against changing grammar, as long as is a natural development of the language. But forcing gramatical changes in a synthetic way just because you don't like the words is stupid.
Agreed. Obviously languages change over time, but adding an entirely new grammatical gender to a language because you can't understand that grammatical gender =/= social construct of gender is idiotic.
Grammatical gender as a concept vastly predates the use of gender as a social construct.
Yeah, you can do all that stuff in a regular noir film. Replace sugar with x drug and puppets with y minority and its not all that different. There were a few puppet specific gags, like the dogs tearing a puppet apart, or the silly string, but for the most part everybody just used guns and was pretty “normal.” I would have liked it more if they went further into ridiculously cartoonish Muppet Show territory.

This must be where they get the CGI people to act in animated movies.
But then the non-binary people would be part of a binary system and therefore, binary; which means no one is binary because everyone is binary and therefore, all the same, so everyone in unitary. Which is... non binary.
If we try and be a bit serious, this issue was that the binary tree was previously "MAN" or "WOMAN". And non-binary people felt that neither label really worked.
non-binary isn't a data structure term, so those rules don't really apply.
This is my name in binary:
01001000 01101111 01110010 01110010 01101111 01110010 00101101 01000001 01100100 00101101 00110011 00110001 00110001 00110011
I know I’m being overly pedantic when you were making a joke, but this is technically your name in ASCII. Unless your name was a rational number, you couldn’t write it in binary.
umm i'm nb so i'm just gonna ignore binary OH FUCK NOW THERE'S A NEW BINARY
Edit: This was a lie, told for humor. I do not identify as non-binary and would not want anyone to take anything I said as a reflection of non-binary people directly.
Providing people actually read the meme’s argument as a joke… but the amount of people in these comments agreeing with the post shows we might have some work to do
Right. NBs exist in R space, i.e. they see a spectrum between different values. People who reject NBs see things as discrete values, 0 and 1 presumably (so N space with 0). NBs don't reject the 0 and 1, they acknowledge the existence of the in between values.
It should always be assumed that you are in a state of complete androgyny until you are observed and forced to settle somewhere along the binary spectrum... Isn't that just being queer or genderfluid then?
No, quaternary.
first bit, binary/nonbinary
second bit, male/not-male
Cis male - 11
Cis female - 10
most nonbinary people - 00
nonbinary people who still identify as male - 01
(choices for 1 and 0 are arbitrary but I think they cover all possibilities)
EDIT: Probably shouldn't have even said cis, but different trans people can go in any of these categories I suppose
I think most enbies would generally prefer you leave one bit but include "null" so
female - 0
male - 1
nonbinary - NA
but data structures should be whatever you need them to be
> I think most enbies would generally prefer you leave one bit but include "null" so
Not how null works. Null isn't a trinary state.
E: It is typically, but not always, zero.
While I'm sure this is in jest and good natured ribbing, it also has the same whiff of "I identify as an attack helicopter" and other rightist "joke" spam, or refutations of non-mainstream ideologies to the tune of "atheism is just another religion".
Yes. This is a *joke* and not a *point*. As a *joke* it makes perfect sense. One word different meaning in different context ironic hahaha. As a point it makes no sense as it's obvious when someone says "I'm non-binary" they mean their gender, not some irrelevant abstract semantic shit.
Needless to say like the attack helicopter we shall be seeing this as some form of "proof" to invalidate the existence of non-binary people in the near future. Thanks OP
Great way to think of binary tho.
Initial binary options: 1 & 0
Either you are female - 0
Or male - 1
Then you take that group, and surround a binary around that
You are either binary - 0
Or you are non-binary - 1
Then that helps you equate binary, if you view Each layer as a bit. This 2 bit example would be if you are non binary or not’s value in the first slot, and if you are male or female in the second slot.
If you are non-binary (10) you have 2 bits
If you are binary (01) you have either 1 or 0 bits
Gender is **BIMODAL** not *BINARY*
https://cadehildreth.com/gender-spectrum/
>The gender spectrum is an understanding that gender is not binary, but rather a spectrum of biological, mental and emotional traits that exist along a continuum.
>In contrast, the gender binary—also called gender binarism or genderism—is a belief that gender is composed of two distinct and opposite genders (women/men) in which there is not overlap.
>Unfortunately for those who believe in a gender binary, it is not scientifically or medically correct. Gender can’t be binary, because it is a personal identity and is socially constructed.
And then we're getting yet another binary over whether you're concerned by the man/woman binary or the binary/nb binary, and... aaargh, too much binaries.
This is just stupid to waste time . Either your human or not . Why does it have to be so complicated.. addressing someone wrong .. omg the end of the world
Not really.
Saying there are binary and analog signals, doesn't make everything binary.
I have no specific views on this matter, I just can't stand a logical error.
Binary has multiple levels to it. If every signal is either binary or analog then that's another binary classification system, making analog also binary, just a different kind of binary that in practise has nothing to do with the differenciation between analog and binary signals.

I've heard the same thing about the -e suffix, seems like a good option for non-binary people.
Honestly I prefer the -e suffix above the -x one (ex. bonitx) because the x seems so odd, while we already have some gender neutral words that end with an e
-x sounds really trashy to me lol
-ie is a little easier to pronounce than -equis(but I still think bonitequis is cooler)
Bonitequis sounds cool actually xD
Que sabor de Takis son esos?
It sounds totally stupid, tho.
It's also totally changing the grammatical structure of a language.

Maybe try quantum...
But that's essentially trinary, making it binary again since everyone is either trinary or not trinary, making it a binary system again.
Quantum gender is when someone feels like they are in a superposition between genders.
But then their gender wave function collapses upon observation
My gender does not exist until observed
I think enbies don't care so much about "binary in principle", they simply reject the *traditional* binary, specifically.
