View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
I’m a “cis binary gendered” person (as far as I know) and have absolutely no idea what anyone means when they talk about an “internal sense of gender identity”. I’m a man but I don’t think I’ve ever once “felt like a man”, and I’m not sure I even understand what that *would* feel like. My body parts don’t feel right **or** wrong, just there. People have tried to explain the feeling to me by talking about how being misgendered feels wrong and gross. I used to have fairly long hair so it’s happened to me before, but it never felt bad, just kind of funny and awkward. I like having a beard and I hate wearing makeup, but those are only “manly” traits because society says so. If I had to somehow determine my gender without any kind of external cues… I don’t think I could.
There's nothing here!
