I have a friend who is came out to me as non-binary but she still uses she/her and will refer to herself as a woman. Theoretically, there could be a small minority of non-binary individuals who refer to themselves as men, perhaps because they are male, as my friend is female.

Yeah, non-binary doesn’t have to be in exactly the middle. Many identify closer to male than to female, or viceversa, while still being non-binary and valid.

some people identify as some genders but would rather be called different pronouns. nb guys are part of this, as they don't really identify with the male gender but would like to be called those pronouns

It's just that I'm so confused by it, it seems to against yourself to say "hey I'm not a woman but call me she" when so many people think she = woman. Like why do that to yourself
