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

Yes, of course they do.

I am a young man, 26 years old. I am probably "neurodivergent" although I don't call myself that and don't like the word. I am bisexual and have been around similar types of people my entire life.

I've come to the conclusion that pretty much all ideology/neo-ideology is about fitting in. That's really all it is. People want a defined set of rules they can relate to/identify with and want to fit in.

Of course "Non binary" doesn't actually exist as a gender, it exists as a way of communicating "I identify with both things that are considered masculine and feminine" or put another way "I can see I am a woman but I like all these things that are considered masculine therefore I can't be a woman".

How can you say it doesn’t exist as a gender without having to define what genders do exist and what they mean?
