View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
is your argument here that people can't be uncomfortable with a physical state they've known their entire life? i know plenty of people who have been fat since childhood who wish they were thin. plenty of people hate physical traits they have had their entire lives. plenty of skinny dudes are uncomfortable with their body and wish they were jacked. feeling discomfort with a trait you've always had isn't some uniquely trans thing. "i am uncomfortable with a trait of my physical appearance and internal sense of self. i will change that trait in the ways i am able to" is a thought process/act of development countless people undergo

Wishing you were thin does not make you thin. Wishing you were jacked does not make you jacked. Which leads me to my main point— wishing you were a woman does not make you a woman. Feeling uncomfortable as a man/woman does not mean you aren’t a man/woman and are nonbinary.
