Actually this might be worth my time after all... I'm bored. So do tell me, why is it "haughty," "arrogant," etc. to exist as a nonbinary person...? Do you actually believe you have the right to ask me what genitalia I was born with and judge me accordingly?
Do you believe the person in the comic is justified in asking about the other individual's genitalia? The comic is aimed at such people. If you think that's weird and wrong, you're not the target of this comic. But I don't think it's arrogant at all to be mean to such people who think we should be discriminated against based on our genitalia.
The issue in the comic is this: a nonbinary person exists. Random bystander: "are you a man or woman?" NB: I'm neither. Bystander then proceeds to ask what genitalia they have, not taking "nonbinary" as a valid answer. Yes the enby in the comic was snarky about it. I wouldn't do that if someone was genuinely asking, but the comic suggests the bystander was being judgemental or otherwise a jerk about it. In which case yeah, I'm gonna be mean right back.
