View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

View parent comment

It’s so hard to explain but when there’s a mismatch, it’s actually painful. It’s like your brain associates “female” or “male” with certain things, such as body parts or clothing, and when there’s a mismatch between what the brain’s gender identity and those associations, it causes discomfort. Without that discomfort you don’t ever really think about your gender identity, but you think about it constantly when it’s there. It’s like itchy clothing
