If girlfriend/boyfriend is what is said to mean woman/man in a relationship, how is it for non-binary people?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I wouldn’t call my imaginary romantic love boyfriend or girlfriend, ze might get offended. Nonbinaryfriend just sounds too weird, and also quite platonic.

According to

, which is the only video of a nonbinary person I watched at least a small part of, I bet they prefer partner or family adult.

I do not even understand half of it. Can you break that out a little bit for me, please?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

When I dated Shayna, She’s my girlfriend, because She’s a girl. When I dated Christopher, He’s my boyfriend because He’s a boy. If I started to date Alex, Sophie, or the other Alex (Comrade Anarchyv won’t date me), how would I call them?

[Guy13]

By their first names... That's the only alternative I have with all the other crap people call themselves. It is worse in Corporate except for Public Schools and Media who loves pushing this mess.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Aye, but any others, like Shayna was my girlfriend, but Alex/Sophie would be my [what]?

[Guy13]

No idea besides their name. Fluidity is in So I am going with that... Name without title or designation. :-)

Partner is always a safe term.

[Avicenna]

No idea, that too bizarre to me

Why you care so much about it? the non-binary thing is a bullshit anyway.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Non-binary people do exist and would find it offensive and the thousand non-binary people I’ve met didn’t use those obscene vulgarities.

[Berethor]

There is only men and women, the non-binary thing is a bullshit and mental illness.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Are You being genderist towards 1000 of my non-binary comrades?

[Berethor]

Yea, I am being genderist towards that insanity, and you being part of that madness.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Lunacy ain’t a sin. Being genderist is, just like racism, sexism, ageism, speciesism, thisism, or thatism.

[Amoebaaa]

"Partner" I guess?
