This person is now non binary why? Because they're unattractive?
They're also now queer? Do not recall any female partners being mentioned in the article, except a fantasy about an old actress. Sounding like she is scrabbling around for an answer to her incel problem
What's a "cis penis"?
1: non binary because within the demographic that’s very into this identity stuff, any perceived rejection of gendered norms is seen not as widening the scope of what is acceptable for members of your sex, but as stepping out of your sex. There is social credibility in doing so, so people with low self esteem can gain positive reinforcement through identifying out of their sex.
2: her “queerness” is why many LGB people have tried to distance themselves from the trans rights movement. She is not using “queer” as a reference to sexual orientation, but as claiming that there’s a club she belongs to, which really does amount to brightly coloured clothes and declaring pronouns
3: a “cis penis” means a penis belonging to a man who doesn’t believe he’s a woman.
The usage here clarifies that for all the talk about “queerness”, she’s sexually only interested in males.
What she’s unfortunately doing here is
A: demonstrating that she’s ripe for sexual exploitation by a bloke claiming to be non binary
B: signalling that she REALLY wants to be in a “lesbian relationship” with a penis belonging to a man, which would affirm her queer identity (another reason many actually gay people object to this nonsense)

The issue is mostly with the guardian for being such enthusiastic peddlers of this nonsense, but surely you read the objections various people outlined?
