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

View parent comment

“As a nonbinary person I don’t really associate anything specific with being a woman or man.” “Nonbinary people don’t feel like men or women.”

I don’t understand this logic. You first say you don’t associate anything with being a woman or man. But you also don’t feel like a man or a woman, which is implying that there *is* a feeling associated with being a man or woman, that you do not feel. How can you say there’s nothing you associate with being a woman or man while acknowledging there’s a woman or man feeling that you don’t have?

Am I misunderstanding?

I don’t associate anything “specific”

Specific is the key word there

I kind of wrote several paragraphs explaining how you can feel a gender identity without connection to anything specific. So nonbinary people can feel like they are a gender identity (or lack there of) beside man or woman without connection to some specific gendered stereotypes same way men and women can feel said connection to their gender identities.
