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

You seem to have gotten distracted by the language point. We agree that gender is arbitrary. I didn't ask why Iran still cares. I asked why you still care. If its arbitrary, where is this so called problem? How can there be any "logic" to it in the first place - can you spell it out for me in a formal manner? If it truly doesn't matter then why is it living rent free in your head?
