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

Congrats, you might be nonbinary and specifically a gender like me.

All I'm saying is that everyone I have ever talked to irl about this had the same lack of gender feelings and they are from all walks of life... all races,  backgrounds, religions, ages. Thus it would sound like the default is everyone, by your standard, is nonbinary, thus making it a pointless designation and aside from a few trans people who are thus closer to simply pushing gender stereotypes in order to hope they feel like they fit in I don't get how it really makes a difference.

If people can't tell others they are female or male you can't go telling people they are non binary. You're actually doing the same thing as the bad guys. From what I can see people here are genuinely making an effort to understand and admitting they don't understand. It's extremely disrespectful to then try to tell them what their identity is. Learning is a two way process. If you're not comfortable providing education (which is valid) then don't participate rather than participate and try to label people. Haven't seen anyone here say you're NOT non binary but just simply try to gain an understanding of what it means to be non binary.
