View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
What is the difference between you and a hyper-feminine man who likes to wear cute dresses, heels, makeup, has long lustrous flowing hair, full lips, has a soft high pitched sassy voice, wants to be a stay at home parent, submissive, empathetic, emotional, soft, loves to watch romcoms ( insert every feminine stereotype ) etc. Just unlike you this man identifies as a man. Is the only difference what you both call yourself? Just a word, a pronoun?

In a vacuum yes the only difference between us is that man is comfortable with he/him & identifying as a man, I am not. I’ll say beyond that, I don’t fit into a lot of the stereotypes you mentioned about women & femininity.
I, truly, as a trans person cannot tangibly explain why I, or anyone else, is trans. It is through pure self exploration that we’ve found how we’re happiest & what often hurts us.
