View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
When my grandmother and great-aunt were young (late 1930s-early 1940s), women started wearing slacks. They showed me a picture of men (their brother and friends) wearing dresses as their idiotic man way of saying "women in slacks look silly. See? See how silly this is?"
Obviously, women continued to wear slacks and normalize it. (I think the men gave up on the dresses because a lack of pockets, generally more constricting design of dresses then, and because they went full on with brassieres.)

Exactly. Gender norms are time specific and are really just fads. I find it funny when people try to shame dudes for wearing nail polish. Iirc men wore it first
