        Yellow is far closer to red than blue… it has a wavelength of ~570 nm, while red is ~615 nm and blue ~470 nm.

        Edit, mistake

          This is like saying that I’m closer to being a New Yorker than a Californian, because I live in North Carolina.

          Sure, something is “closer”, but it is completely distinct and has little to do with either.

          Just to propose a different point of view, color vision in humans is caused by the response of cone cells, of which we have three types: L, M and S. Now interestingly, according to Wikipedia:

          The first responds the most to light of the longer red wavelengths, peaking at about 560 nm. The second most common type responds the most to light of yellow to green medium-wavelength, peaking at 530 nm.

          Meaning that our “red” cones respond better to yellow light than our “green” cones.

      you have to specify what genders of nonbinary are/aren’t welcome

      “Genders of nonbinary”

      My friend, nonbinary is a gender. This is like asking what type of bird a chicken is.

        Nonbinary is a category of genders much like intersex is a category of sexes. It contains everything from agender to bigender to demigenders and all sorts of others. Much like how intersex can mean anything from completely ambiguous reproductive structures to anomalies of the sex chromosomes to natural hormone imbalance starting at puberty as well as several other traits. Sometimes it’s relevant to narrow it down.

      what genders of nonbinary are/aren’t welcome

      Like, intergender is fine, but genderless is not…? or the other way around?

      Right, like the ones with vaginas are cool and the ones with penises aren’t?
