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

View parent comment

Well of course most people would keep the pronouns they’ve used their entire life as a human. And those pronouns were very much connected to their genitals and outward gender expression as human, even if robots no longer have them.

That reasoning seems very circular to me. “I’m non-binary because I don’t feel like a man or a woman.” Like…. What do you think it’s supposed to feel like???

But I think you said elsewhere that if you were put in a man's body that you'd be a man, so I assume you would switch pronouns in that case. So unless something strongly overrides it, you lean at least somewhat toward female gender identity, even without an overtly feminine body or chromosomes. Unless I'm guessing wrong on that.

Id assume it feels like having a desire to pursue the archetype of manhood or womanhood. It seems to me like the people who identify with man or woman are pretty interested in pursuing what their idea of an ideal man or woman is. I'm nonbinary so I don't care about any of that shit. Man and woman are not archetypes I identify with or want to embrace. I find them overly restrictive and prevent me from achievement self actualization.
