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.
OP means “don’t assume someone is non-binary because they are an effeminate man” and not “you aren’t non-binary just because you are an effeminate man”
Their intent with the message was clearly less-than-literal. They tried to clear things up in replies but failed. I think it is quite clear that they meant no one any harm, and simply failed to convey their idea properly.
The comment itself should be edited to reflect the original intent, then. People can’t just say stupid and hyperbolic things and not be held socially accountable.
Whose authority says it’s not sufficient? If they say they are nonbinary, they are nonbinary.

Except they literally said that

I suppose that’s possible, but the thing you say OP is not saying is literally a quote. So at best it’s worded poorly.
