Asmongold made a definitive statement during a recent livestream that non-binary people “don’t exist” and that people can only be male or female.
The OTK co-founder was discussing biological sex when he delivered the remarks. According to viewers who watched the segment, he framed his position around physical biology rather than gender identity.
He did acknowledge one exception in his statement. Asmongold reportedly mentioned “very, very extreme medical anomaly” cases, which viewers interpreted as a reference to intersex conditions or differences of sex development.
The video showed Asmongold presenting his view as categorical, leaving little room for interpretation about his stance.
The distinction between biological sex and gender identity sits at the heart of the debate his statement triggered. Biological sex typically refers to physical characteristics like chromosomes and anatomy. Gender identity describes how someone internally experiences their gender. Non-binary falls under the gender identity umbrella and describes people who don’t identify exclusively as male or female.
Asmongold commands a massive audience across Twitch and YouTube. His commentary regularly extends beyond gaming into broader cultural topics. When he makes statements like this, they tend to travel far beyond his core World of Warcraft and MMO fanbase.
The streamer has not issued any public clarification or follow-up comments about the statement at the time of writing.
