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

I think the issue is that we may be reaching a point where a collective definition is less useful or needs evolution.

There can't be a non-collective conception of gender, though. Given that gender is a social construct, some gender exists only if we have some shared understanding of what it is to belong to that particular gender. If there is no collective conception of genders, there are no genders. Perhaps what you meant to say is that we should be working towards gender abolition. I'm sympathetic to that view.
