Is Transgenderism a contradictory mess? It calls for the abolition of gender but it also reifies gender norms. wtf?!?!...

im cool with trans people

Best of both worlds imho

Gender identity =/= gender roles
Gender roles are the social norms that men and women are generally expected to conform to, and are largely a social construct, as demonstrated by how wildly they vary between different locations, time periods, and classes.
Gender identity is thought to be based in one's neurological structure and therefore isn't a social construct. The general idea behind transsexualism is that in rare cases some sexually dimorphic parts of the brain can develop as the opposite sex, which results in a feeling of intense discomfort with one's body, its not something that would just go away even if gender roles were reversed or completely gone.
Admittedly, the trans "community" is a fucking trainwreck for the most part and there are a lot of trans people who DO end up reinforcing stereotypical gender norms, but that's hardly something limited to trannies- most normal men and women go along with the social pressures to conform too, after all.

What I don't really understand personally is the whole "nonbinary" thing, so if there's anyone here who considers themselves as such I'd love to hear an explanation of it. Considering that transsexualism is based on the idea of someone's brain developing as the opposite sex I guess it seems possible that the same thing could happen but leaving someone kind of "in-between", and I've seen a small number of nonbinary folks who expressed a similar feeling of discomfort with their bodies so that seems legit, but they seem to be in the minority. The overwhelming majority of the nonbinary people I see online only seem to identify as such as a way of distancing themselves from gender roles- "I'm biologically female but I like all these stereotypically masculine things so I'm nonbinary", etc., which only seems to reinforce gender essentialist views, imo (which is kind of ironic since many of them are the same people who claim they want to "abolish gender"). I mean, being a qt trap or buff butch chick doesn't automatically make someone trans or nonbinary just because they don't conform to stereotypical gender roles.

Well… why not? Genders are social constructs, it doesn't really cost us anything to make up a new one. It's not like there is some transcendental truth involved anyway, gender is a whole lot of spookery if you take a broad view and compare how different cultures deal with it. If people ask for a third gender, give them what they want, likely it won't hurt. Let them put "x" in stead of "m" or "f" on their ID's. And if we start seeing ill effects, though I can't see what those would be, you can always abolish the new gender again.
