View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
I understand transgenderism, but not non-binary. Transgendered individuals (I feel like transsexual is more accurate, unfortunately has become a derogatory word) have body dysmorphia based on their physical sexual characteristics. And getting gender-affirming surgery (ie. sex-affirming surgery) to achieve the body they were meant to be in cures the dysphoria.
Feeling non-binary has to rely on gender stereotypes, and gender roles in order to make sense. This perpetuates these stereotypes, not get rid of them. As another cis woman, I don’t have an innate sense of what gender I am. I do have a sense of what society expects of me, but this is a social construct, not biological. I identify as me. I behave based on my personality. I don’t consider my sex when making choices in my life, other than those imposed on me by society.
