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

View parent comment

How old were you when you had this conversation with your mother?

P.S: this is the closest I feel like I have ever been to understanding any of this, so thank you. I'm like 2% more sure what people mean now, which is a lot.

I think I was 22, or thereabouts. I know that it was soonish after I became sure I was nonbinary (at about 20/21), because she had done a lot of thinking about gender stuff since transness was suddenly very immediately present in her life. It was a part of her explaining that she generally understood trans people now, since she knew that if she was put into a man's body she would feel the need to transition.

Also, I'm glad this has helped!
