After spending ten minutes on the toilet pondering, I think „growing facial hair“ is the best counter-example I can come up with.
Or I just don‘t know enough women who like growing facial hair.
As an enby I respectfully disagree. I personally don't enjoy the stage of facial hair where it looks like crap but I like beards and if I could make it past that stage without chopping it off I think I would very much enjoy letting it grow.
Very good suggestion though.
Well, the original thesis was "that only men like", so enbys are definitely included
I'm not a woman and wasn't claiming to be. People can be only partially female I think there's labels like demigirl and genderfluid which are relatively common and can fit the partially/sometimes female if you want to do further research. (Also Sometimes I do feel rather fem myself)
So enbies can be "women lite" but it's an umbrella term for anyone that isn't just (not meant in a negative way) male/female.
The problem here seems to arise from the assumption that non male people would be women.
