View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
It happens constantly.
Boy: “I like dresses.”
Adults around him: “then consider changing to a girl.”
That’s rigid stereotype re-enforcement. It’s that simple.
Truly accepting his preferences would be to just let him be, not shunt him off to another box he has to fit in (be a girl).
Truly breaking stereotypes would be to accept that he is a boy….who likes dresses. Not make him start fitting into girl stereotypes (wearing dresses, growing hair long, doing nails, liking pink, etc).
