So, Korean is a very gendered language when it comes to honorifics. I've heard of 언빠 (unppa) to be used to refer TO non-binary people, but that word, if it's following the rules as I understand them, can only be used by a fem person to refer to a nonbinary person. So. I have a bunch of questions.

What honorifics do nonbinary people use to refer to other people? Is it a matter of preference or is there a word I should be using? (For instance, should I combine 언니 and 누나 (unnie/nuna) to refer to an older female?)

What is the male equivalent of 언빠 if there is one? As in, how do males refer to non-binary people? Or do the rules of respect go out of the window?

How would I refer to other nonbinary people?

Sorry if this is confusing. I can try and elaborate further if I must.

why on earth are girls only allowed to use 언빠? seriously korean is confusing enough
i know how to read sentences in korean but knowing the meaning of the words can be really confusing, like ㅐ and ㅔ have the same sound but used differently so you gotta guess
