There are people who are not clearly male or female both from a biological or sociological perspective. That's not an opinion, it's fact.

Emphasizing that being nonbinary is rare only serves to legitimize labelling it as other as something that's not normal and to draw boundaries - where they don't belong - that inevitably bring discrimination with them.

The comment may be "reasonably" worded but it's just a thinly veiled call to legitimize discrimination. A difference between that comment and "you can't be neither sex" exists only rhetorically but not in what's conveyed.

Is it normal?
