View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Yeah, I think that makes sense.
I don't really know what a gender identity means, and I think most people default to their sex, not necessarily out of convenience, but rather because they just don't feel that "gender identity" at all. Or maybe thats just me, maybe I don't care for choosing anything, so I accept what was given me.😅
Thanks for your response!

No problem! It's definitely a topic I've had to give a lot of thought to over the years to figure out what makes the most sense to me. The most important guiding principle in that, for me, is being open to other perspectives. There are a lot of thoughts and feelings people have that don't instantly and easily connect with me or mirror my own, but that doesn't make them any less genuine or valid. I think a lot of people are like you or me and are pretty neutral about gender and default to the body they have and the social expectations put on them.
And a lot of people don't. And they may feel things that you or I don't. And I find that really neat and interesting.
