View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Its not, its literally mostly in medicine you would ever use the sex of someone, maybe if you are intimate.
And that rarely aplies to everyday people where people very much talk about gender.
And yes gender is entirely about social constructs even if overlapping with sex.
Sex is just weird to talk about because its either medical important, or about well, genitals and i dont think why its important to talk about most peoples genitals in everyday life .
If people mean sex using that to everyone, they are creeps.
So yes people mean gender pretty much usually.
And the reason why is prettymuch medical to have that different that exists.
If you have an intersex perdon thats pretty much a dude but in sex, well intersex. Which its why its not useless.
And reducing people to their reproductive organs is pretty creepy, why would you?

Again, I think it has a lot to do with language as well. I’m not a native English speaker and we don’t use the same terms in my language, so it’s a little hard for me to explain.
It’s like when people talk about women getting pregnant, in that context it’s about females. Or when people say men are biologically stronger than women, they’re once again speaking about males and females.
A transwoman is a woman in the sense that she fits the stereotypes of being a woman, but she’s not a female.
You say it’s reducing people to their reproductive organs is creepy, but I don’t think reducing people to stereotypes are better.
