View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Isn't being a man or woman rooted in biological function and not a concept of masculine female stereotypes. I mean maybe im wrong. But at the same time the whole point of language is to provide a consistent basis in which we understand each other. By making this subjective according to the non binary nonsense what's the point of even communicating anyone that you are in fact non binary if no one can affirm that two genders even exist in the first place. Continuing this logic if no one can define what a man or woman is. Then why identifying as non binary even necessary .

Gender is a social construct, sex is not. Even if a person defines themselves as non-binary or trans, they’re still either male or female.

Just to clarify, sex is biological, gender is a construct.

It's extremely simple.
You got 2 invitations. You can go to hang out with your bros, or you can go hang hang out at girls' night.
Which invitation feels more like a good fit for you? That's your gender.
Non binary is when you find having to choose like this extremely annoying.

Naming is not the same as categorizing
Naming tells you what to call something
Categorizing tells you where it fits and can suggest it's utility
Man and Woman is both a name and a category
the naming is rooted in biological sex
the categorization is the social construct
Like if America still had a male only draft
would all men go? cis men and trans men
would transwomen go?
In Israel everyone spends time in the military. At some point all the arguments for Men going to the military and women saying home stopped making sense.
