Gender does match the sex 99 % of the time, so I can understand why people would want to use them interchangeably, but gender is a social construct. So in that sense, non-binary is not real I guess. Just a construct.
I'm cool with non-binary, but there is a point when some of them start to get so ridiculous that, as Joe Rogan puts it, it's basically "I identify as LOOK AT ME!" Saying your pronouns are pri/prin/prins/princeself and all of these new things is a bit much.
Some LGBT people don't accept that the non-binary are truly transgender, but by definition they are transgender. All that transgender means is that you are not the gender you were once seen as. The people who actually transition from MTF or FTM are called transsexuals.
What does sexual orientation mean? I don't know anymore. If we have a FTM and they date men, the FTM is very likely going to call themselves a gay man, which is completely fine with me, but it's not true if you go by the "official" definition of sexual orientation which means the sex you are attracted to. They did not change their sex by transitioning. They just changed their gender. Sexual orientation to me is no longer necessarily about which sex you are attracted to. It's seemingly becoming more like gender where at this point you can just be whatever sexual orientation you feel comfortable identifying as.
It is becoming more widely accepted in the trans community that you can change your sex, and I disagree with this. They are defining sex as what type of sexual body parts you have, but imo, you can not have a vagina if you were not born with one. You can only have an imitation of one. No disrespect meant by that.
