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

View parent comment

After what men have done to women since the dawn of time, yes it is obviously important. How can you negate people’s experiences? How many woman are trafficked, raped, abused by men every year. Women were married off young so they would have protection from being raped by other men. We couldn’t vote, own property or have a bank account. Women were not even considered people under the law in Canada until the 1920’s. I have personally been abused and raped.

Right, that’s another element. We can’t ignore how gender shapes our experiences as well. But I still say to each their own, if someone wants to not identify with gender that is fine, I just don’t think gender abolition is feasible for everyone (at least not right now, maybe in the future it could be)
