View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
* live in a way that internal friction, or live in a way that creates social friction.
Hey that's actually a really great answer. Second that it's the best explanation in this thread so far I've read down. Also I can relate as someone who behaves in a "socially rebellious way" to be true myself. I don't care if society views it as rebellious though, even if it makes it more difficult for me. I want to show people that yes, you can be a gender non conforming person, and not conform to gendered norms or expectations and still identify with the sex you were born with.
It really makes me want to be even more so resistant to the gendered pressures the more I am pressured to conform, because having traditional gender expectations pushed on me really pisses me off lol.
It's not the path of least resistance that's true, but I do think in the long run it is the path forward to where we one day live in a society where we can be who we are, without changing how we look or act or identify to conform to other people's ideas of gender or societal gender expectations in general.
Also, I want to be an inspiration to people, that they too can see someone be who they are, without trying to conform.
