One thing I’ve experienced over the years is that most cis folks really don’t know how their sexuality / romantic life ‘handles’ non-binary folks
I’m not really fiending for inclusion into cis folks’ sexualities/romantic lives (esp bc fetishization), but more so I just want cis folks to personally grapple with where we lie ASAPtual so that non-binary folks don’t get actively caught in the crossfire of your internal debates
For me, the damage is often 2-fold:
1. Having your worth/validity openly mulled over in front of you, as if you’re some ‘fringe case’ open to speculation
2. Ultimately receiving that “otherwise, yes, but...” that just reminds us of our ‘other’-ness

That’s all to say, just do that reflection ASAPtual; don’t want until you’re talking with an enby person then reflect, in front of them, on how you view them
That shit just ain’t a cute look, and it’s tiring

P.S. it’s painfully obvious to us when you view/treat us as men-/women-lite
Learn to handle us in our full non-binary selves, not just as some extensions of our (perceived) gender assigned at birth
