View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
I don't think it's wise to simplify this as a "progressive stance". The fact is "progressive" groups are constantly arguing with each other about these things, and you can find different opinions on where gender stereotypes/expression etc fit into their "progressive" world view.
It's not even remotely homogenous what the view is.
There are a large amount of progresssives that are absolutely fine with being gendered, they just don't believe in gender roles.
That is, the gender stereotypes/traits are a vague cultural collection that you can absolutely identify with and pick and choose from, and the structures exist to some extent, but you don't have to adhere to them.
Others reject those notions and claim gender stereotypes perpetuate gender roles and aren't inherently based on gender, etc etc. But neither group truly represents progressives.

I can agree with that. I guess I should say it sometimes feels like that is the dominant view.
