View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Honey, just because YOU don't have any ties to your gender, doesn't mean that other don't either. When you think about yourself, you might not see a gender, and that's great as long as you are happy! But it is utter bullshit to put others down and say that they are wrong for having a sense of gender.

No, actually I was extremely closely tied to my “gender”, I was raised essentially in an immigrant family with toxic masculinity values which I had to unlearn by myself. As I did, I realized that the idea of being “masculine” or “feminine” is just made up. Different people have different characteristics. That is all.
I do not give a flying shit about the sense of gender. It might be a thing now as everyone is brainwashed into thinking gender isn’t complete bullshit but is. The only reason people have this “sense of gender” is because you are taught it. You are taught that some arbitrary idea exists that basically tells you how you should act based on if you’re born with a penis or vagina (binary gender). Modern society has decoupled biological sex from societal roles. Time to move past the concept of gender. Whether you’re born with one or the other pp, you are free to do and become whatever the fuck you want. That’s the idea that should be pushed rather than the obsession of shoving gender as some fundamental part of your identity
