View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
No, there are genes, hormones, sexual organs, etc. that also have a huge play in this. You can’t just say being male or female is a social construct. I’m a cisgendered female and I do feel like it’s a big part of my identity. I gave birth to a child and am a mother. These are not social constructs. Can you carry a child or understand being pregnant? This is my experience. Others AFAB don’t feel this way. Who says their experience is any less valid? Why do people care so much about how others feel about their gender? If they are happy with their choices, who is anyone else to judge them?

-people too often conflate sex and gender, the above poster defined gender in an excellent way and then you reverted to talking about SEX.
- sex (XX, XY), part of our genetics, and govern what sexual organs and set of hormones we have, it is NOT the same as gender.
-what it means to be a male or female (gender) in a given society is a social construct.
-you being cisgendered is you telling us what sexual organs you were born with it, it doesn't tell us what stereotypical male or female roles you occupy or don't occupy in society.
-you giving birth to a child and therefore being a mother, tells us what sex organs you were born with.
You just wrote a paragraph repeatedly telling us what sex organs you were born with, and how you feel your sex organs are a big part of your identity.
Stop conflating sex with gender.
Gender refers to the **socially constructed** roles, behaviors, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people.

Why do people care so much about how others feel about their gender?
people like things that make sense and are not annoying to deal with.
-if a trans person feels like the body they have is wrong, that kind of makes sense. Like you have a V and feel more like yourself with a P? cool
-if a trans person is failing to PASS and says I am a woman, even if your eyes tell you I am a MAN respect and treat me as a woman, people may try but their eyes and brains are still sending off discordancy alarms.
-If a non binary person says they have no internal sense of gender....it isn't the same as being in the wrong body. It just sounds ridiculous to a majority of people, they may play along but their internal spidey senses are calling baloney.

You’re talking about sex, not gender.
