View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Wait what? You realize this is 50s vs modern society thing you're bringing up comes down towards loosening of social rules and is in essence an off-shoot of the deeper struggle between individualism vs collectivism, right?
How we approach this shift matters a lot. Individualism through labels seems to push people towards boxes one puts oneself and ourselves into. Leaning into identity groups will inevitably pit one against other identity groups.
Personally, I'm in favor of personal freedom without this labeling tendency as I think the better approach is to emphasizes common humanity. IMO, the universalist approach is a better common ground between collectivism vs individualism, identifying that we need retain individuality at a personal level, while also functioning as part of society (and not just fighting for our identity group or its perceived allies).
There's nothing here!
