View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
As a woman who does exactly this, that is my goal. To break gendered stereotypes and expectations, to show people that you can in fact identify with your sex, without feeling like you are your sex. You don't need to feel like you are a woman to be a woman. You can be a woman without feeling internally that you are a woman because that's just how you were born and that's okay. The sex you are born with doesn't have to and shouldn't determine the way you express yourself or what kind of things you like.

And not feeling like you're a woman is not an internal biologically based feeling but rather an external flaw with societal standards that don't include you. So telling people that it is all internal and their job to change themselves until they fit is not my preferred solution. If being a woman already included them, they wouldn't ever worry about not being one.
