Okay because my brain literally won't let me get over it and I still feel kinda awful even though I probably shouldn't
In 2021 let's just. Stop with the "I identify as x inanimate object!" and "you can identify as x inanimate object and I wouldn't care" jokes because they're really offensive, even if you wouldn't know they were.
It's in the same vein as people saying "you can be x" race and start listing random colors people can't naturally be.
It's not okay and it really, honestly and truly, needs to stop. You'd make everyone who's nonbinary, who doesn't align with the main "LGBT" part of the full acronym, and whose gender and/or sexuality isn't a commonly known one much safer in their own communities if you did.
Any in any case, those jokes are so tired anyway like. Literally they're just so stupid. Just don't use them, even if you're trying to be supportive, because you're not actually being as supportive as you think you are
