View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Diagnosing someone as nonbinary because they don't have strong feelings about being what they already are is what's invalidating. The point I think a lot of cis people in this thread are making is that the most common feeling around their own gender is "eh, okay". The reason we want to know more is because feeling a sense of euphoria over being the gender you want doesn't feel natural to us, because we just don't care that deeply about it. I certainly don't go about every day thinking "wow my man life is so wonderful, I'm glad I'm a man", I'm just living my human life.
For the record, this doesn't mean we're all secretly nonbinary and need to be taught this, it just means it matters far more for nonbinary and trans people. I'm not attempting to attack you or the way you want to live, this is a thread you chose to join and you are free to leave if you feel invalidated. We're just trying to work out what makes the experience of gender so different for you.
