No idea myself either .
Had a sub-contractor in work who identified as non binary (whatever that is) and was called Panda . When I asked him/her what it all meant , I was told it was offensive to ask and just accept he/she for what it was .

Never found out what it was !
It demanded the company it was working for should install toilets for gender neutral / non binary people and all of a sudden I heard it had been persuaded "to find a different career path" .

Oh...... a bit like Up shit Creek without a Piddle then.....I remember when Aids were just a Slimming Sweet and being Gay was being Happy, A Trans was a Ford Van and a Buy was what you did in a shop, a Les was a stand up Comedian and a Question was something you asked at school.... A+ was a great result when being Examined..... Am I missing something ?

I don't think you're missing anything. I'm very familiar with gay people (I have one of my own and even I don't understand all those other titles) but even they are finding all the other groups of whatever they are, if they're not gay, a bit of a bore as they all get included in the great big "poor me. I'm different, so you have to be extra nice to me" whingers club. Or perhaps that's just the gay people I know.
I'm thinking of having a few of those letters after my name. FTSTO would do (Frustrated Triumph Street Triple Owner), or perhaps just SMFI (Save Me From Idiots) might be a little simpler, but I think ILB would do nicely. I Love Bikes.

I do meet L's and G's every so often, in fact we have built up quite a list and they tend to come back for more quotes as we treat everyone the same..... We have a great laugh with them too...... It's just confusing with all these other letters !

I don't understand the need to categorise your sexuality.
It has nothing to do with anyone else.
I've noticed a lot of infighting with all of these divisions. If you are male, znd claim to be bi, then you must be gay. All BS.
Live and let live
