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

I think it's better, because man and woman refer to adult males/females. But do you have a word for feminine/masculine? I think "masculine woman" makes far more sense than saying that person is less of a woman or actually a man just because they present more typically masculine.

Yes, maskulin/ feminin are words we use.

I think people get too caught up in labels and stereotypes. If they don’t act/ look like a typical woman, they feel the need to create another label instead of just being satisfied with being a ‘masculine woman’. They think they’re being progressive, when in reality they’re just reinforcing those stereotypes by putting people into smaller boxes.
