View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Thanks for your contribution. I think I’m starting to lean towards abolishing gender. I don’t see any use for gender (other than determining pronouns). I don’t even understand why NB people are so uncomfortable with pronouns either. I wouldn’t care being called he/him, I’d be confused but whatever. In my native language, there is no she/he, only they.
I also don’t have an innate sense of gender that I see mentioned in other comments. And others have commented the same. I am not my gender. I do what I want, when I want, which sometimes aligns with my gender stereotypes/role, and sometimes doesn’t. And people try to correct me, all the time, which is a challenge everyday as a cis-woman. I ask them why can’t I do that? Why do I have to be polite and demure? If I don’t push back on these stereotypes, then I become a slave society.
For the edit, whether it’s meant to be political or not, unfortunately it has become that. Also, can you give me examples of what walls define gender?
What do you think about abolishing gender altogether? Pronouns will represent your sex. If you’re trans with sex-affirming surgery, you would be your new sex. Example, a trans woman will be she/her. Nobody needs to know whether you’re a cis-woman or trans woman besides your doctor and your partner.
There's nothing here!
