“Non-binary people are fabulous”! Has the mantra changed already? What happened to real and valid?
I had an inkling that ‘fabulous’ owed more to fantasy than fact so had a quick look at the etymology. Inkling confirmed: fabulous comes from the Latin ‘fabulosus’, meaning ‘celebrated in fable’, becoming ‘fabulous’, meaning ‘known through fable’ in late Middle English. As a fable is a story of myth or legend, then according to the National LGBT+ Police Network, non-binary people exist only as mythological beings who therefore do not have a basis in reality.
With that in mind, the new mantra is, according to the National LGBT+ Police Network: we believe that trans men are men, trans women are women, and non-binary people are a myth.

Do you think somebody should tell them?
Non binary people are fabulists, perhaps?
Sounds like the old “Ooh, I love gay men, they are sooooo fabulous!” (Insert eye roll emoji)
I thought Jessica Yaniv had staked out ‘fabulous’ for herself.
That’ll be Myth J. Yaniv, if you please.
