View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
What if the rejection of social conventions extends to the point where you decide to go against the convention that your body should match that of your birth sex?

See, if we got rid of the idea of gender conventions, it would also be beneficial to trans people too. Because then you aren't going against your birth sex. You are just doing a cosmetic procedure. And whatever your reasons for that, cis people also go through many procedures that often come from many deep seated insecurities and self doubts as well. So you're not trans anymore, you're just a person who got some surgeries to look the way you want. Same as anybody else who does that. I mean there are people who get surgeries to look like Barbie dolls. There's all sorts of people who do drastic changes to their bodies. So yeah I'm all for getting rid of gender conventions even in this case.

That is not a social construct. Do you understand what a social construct is?
With that being said, if you’re trying to frame me as transphobic, it won’t work. Your body, your choice. Science is advanced enough for you to do many things to your body. If plastic surgery is ok then so is changing your other body parts. If bodybuilders taking steroids is socially accepted (mostly) then you can take all the T you want. I don’t care. I care about your human values not your physical presentation whether it’s a fake tits, BBL or if you chopped your PP off.
