if you look at subreddit growth for r/nonbinary, r/feminineboys, and r/femboy(not to be confused with r/femboys which is a porn subreddit rather than a sfw one), they all started rapidly expanding in the latter half of 2019 and have been just Explosively Schmoovin ever since.

google trends shows a somewhat similar story where there's some large spike for Nonbinary in mid 2019 which caused a new plateau and then increased growth, and a more explosive spike for femboy after the femboy hooters meme lol. i wonder what that moderate spike for 'nonbinary' was in like june 10th ish 2019...

but yeah i thought it was interesting because i used to assume that any growth of 'nonbinary' was just consistent starting with when trans people started being more noticed in 2012 etc. but it was moderate growth followed by a large growth rate increase in the last 3 years, and femboy follows the same pattern(which i guess is less surprising since femme gnc men had largely not noticed the term until like 2018ish, there was not a generally known "flare" term. maybe i overestimate the extent to which nonbinary was generally known as a term prior to 2019 just because i ran into it more earlier?)

edit: oh, the june 2019 nb spike may've been because Van Ness from Queer Eye came out as NB right then. also maybe i should try to see patterns for other identities and see if theres similar patterns

growth in 2020 doesnt surprise me much because "oh, covid" but 2019 is difficult to pinpoint some major common cause

i'm really curious about the mechanics of this. why did these growth increases coincide, and why 2019? if anyone has any insight i'd love to hear.
