You can’t gatekeep being nonbinary. Not unless you’re prepared to define it explicitly, which will exclude many people - and not everyone will agree with your definition either.
I said just because. Not that effeminate men aren’t capable of being nonbinary, merely that it is not sufficient (or necessary for that matter). You have to like actually not identify as entirely a man.
But it’s not my place to fight I’m very much in the binary side of transness.
This is a miscommunication, you two are not really in disagreement as far as I can see.
If someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND {they say they’re non-binary} => {they are non-binary}.
However if someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND does NOT {say they’re non-binary}… Then it’s not sufficient.

Whose authority says it’s not sufficient? If they say they are nonbinary, they are nonbinary.
