Honest question: if you really are going to ask people to identify you as "he" or "they", how many people are really going to go for "they"?

Or is what SonicFox saying they want to go from being called "he" --> "they"

I gotta admit non-binary is one of those things I still have trouble wrapping my head around, but good for them being open about this and I hope they get tons of love and support.

Sonic Fox always strikes me as the nicest person, even when they lose, seems very happy for their opponents when they win. The Twitch chat people that don't like they can fuck off, I see a lot of it in the NRS streams whenever I watch the MK11 tournaments. Edited to make sure I respect their pronoun choice.

Feels so good that one of the biggest names in fighting games is also Non-Binary like me.
Even better that they're a genuinely great person.

my question as well. i don't know a lot about the situation, but where people would say "they" to identify, couldn't they also say "he"?

I've never seen he/they before so you learn something new everyday. He seems like a nice guy so hope he's happy.

Legitimate question (sorry if its been answered already) how can someone be a non-binary man? Isn't saying your non-binary saying that you don't fit into the binary Male/Female archetypes?
 
For those confused: a video explaining what Non-binary is.

Correct. They, at this time, are good with either

I myself am good with any pronoun at the time being, or I am at least indifferent to how I'm referred, as long I'm not percieved as "just" a man :D

It really feels nice to be called a "good girl" tho đź‘€

Some people don't want to be referred to as any gender and would prefer "they."
This is not grammatically correct when referring to an individual though.

I have no problem not referring to somone as "he/she" or "him/her." But "they" implies plural.

See the following:


You wouldn't say, for example "The object belongs to them." when referring to a non-binary individual. The English language requires the word "him," "her," or "it" for an individual.

I'm glad we have people like Sonic-Fox. They're doing great work just by being themselves, and it's wonderful to see.

I wanted to ask the same.
Good for them that they can be true to themself, but I don't understand.
