Share on FacebookI agree with Robert G. DuBois and Lieut Cyril Worthingstone, just because you don't want to sleep with a transgender you are not automatically transphobic.
I second that, its only a step away from saying that because you wouldn't sleep with someone of your own gender you are homophobic. That whole comic didn't clear anything up for me, it just confused the c**p out of me. I'd never even heard of nonbinary before!!! It just sounds like a ridiculous concept to me.

Because some people feel more comfortable with a label, it's not obligatory or anything though
