View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
this is a stupid question, respectfully. if you were to take someone's brain, containing all of their lived experiences, all of the socialization they've internalized, etc., and transfer them into a different body, it would be weird. it would be weird and distressing for a million reasons, gender being just one of them. my brain is connected to my body. you can't just take my brain out and put it in another body.
if you were to wipe someone's memory completely and then switch/neutralize their sex, how would they react? that's the better hypothetical, and also not something we can really know the answer to.
my point is, gender is learned. if i've already learned my gender, putting my brain in a robot won't change that.

The person I was replying to had already said in another comment that if they were placed in a man's body, they would use male pronouns. My question was tailored to them and the attitude that implies.
Also, it's really rude that you called my question stupid, and adding the word "respectfully" doesn't make it respectful.
