Critics should ask more often what "non-binary" is supposed to mean

I have written previously about how the neologism "non-binary gender identity" is nonsensical and doesn't actually mean anything, and how leftists can't really define it when you start asking for a clear unambiguous full definition.

I have noticed that this definition for that concept isn't being asked enough by critics.

The political commentator and activist Matt Walsh has become quite famous for asking a very closely related question: "What is a woman?" And this is indeed an extremely good question to ask because most leftists are either too afraid or too confused to give a clear answer (for some reason).

However, I have not seen too many instances of someone asking a leftist activist who uses the term "non-binary" to define that term, in a clear precise manner. I think this question should be asked more because that term is being used constantly everywhere by leftist activists.

They are trying to impose that concept onto society and everybody in it, even starting at kindergarten. Indeed, many kindergarten teachers, especially in the United States (and to a worrying extent in some other countries) are brainwashing children with things like "some children may be boys, some may be girls, some may be non-binary, so they aren't boys nor girls."

They should be asked: What does that mean? What does it mean for someone to "not be either a boy or a girl?"

They aren't talking about people with some kind of birth defects or unusual chromosomes here. They are talking about regular people, who may "not be either a boy or a girl" completely regardless of their physical body. They should be asked to define what that actually means, and they should be asked this more often.

That's because in my experience they cannot define it. They will start spouting circular definitions, they will go on tangents, they will dodge the question, they will start nitpicking, they will do everything they can to not give a clear answer.

If they define "non-binary" as "a gender identity that's neither a man nor a woman", then ask what it means to "identify as a man" and "identify as a woman". What does that mean, exactly? What's a "male gender identity" and a "female gender identity"? How does one "conform" or "not conform" to either of those? How does "non-binary" make one different from those?

If they define "non-binary" as "neither a male nor a female" (or any variation of that), just ask them to define what "male" and "female" means, and how someone can be neither (especially by merely saying so).
