    I think it has to do with the fact that this particular slogan has been used to persecute a group of people.

    Like atheists not believing in god is just their personal belief about a metaphysical question. The only reason one would be offended by it is if they didn’t consider it to be up to what one believes, but if they believe it should “be the truth for everyone”.

    But “there are only two genders” is a sentence that was made specifically to persecute non-binary people. This is no longer about a person deciding there are only two genders for themselves, but rather denying what other people decide about their gender.

    I’m pretty bad at explaining things, so if there is a part that I didn’t explain properly, please let me know :)
