View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
If its so arbitrary why does it matter to you so much thst people want to "hop"? We still use gendered pronouns, should we switch everything to "they"?

Gendered pronouns are specific to some languages like latin ones. Linguistics are irrelevant. Iran is one of the most totalitarian theocratic extremist Islamic governments out there and yet the Persian language isn’t gendered.
It doesn’t “matter so much” to me, I was pointing out how it isn’t logical to use the very construct that is making you feel alienated (gender) to get out of said alienation. Genders are the problem, or more specifically the idea that the social construct of gender has a role in determining your intrinsic indentity, is the problem.

But what will we use to indicate plural? Should we all go by the “royal we” when speaking of ourselves. The languages either thinks like ellos/ellas, nosotros/as.. Nous, Vous… are they all tying themselves in knots w this? Newspeak
