View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

View parent comment

Well, I don’t personally subscribe to modern ideas of “gender,” so I’m not really the one to ask 😅 I view it as merely an aspect of your personality that’s still best understood in the context of a gender binary.

That’s why I’ve never understood being non-binary unless it’s in the sense of just being somewhere on the spectrum between masculine/feminine, which aren’t we all? And in which case “non” binary (the implication you reside outside the binary) wouldn’t be an appropriate term.

If someone is transgender I see that as simply having a personality more aligned with the opposite sex, and if someone is non-binary I see it as being someone who possesses both feminine and masculine traits, but that’s not considered a very “woke” view.

Just my 2¢
