View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
If I woke up in a man's body tomorrow, I'd be just as shocked if I woke up in a body missing a limb. However, if I was born without legs or born as a man, I would have no issue with that.
As a woman with a deep voice, I don't go into any sort of crisis when I'm confused as a man. I don't have a breakdown because I wear typically male clothes.
There is nothing inside me that tells me I'm definitely not a man.

and because you don't experience these things, it means no one else must experience them? what a limited perspective to have on the diversity of psychology and life in general. more than that, your argument here is both circular and highly personal: because *you* don't think about this, it means there's nothing there worth thinking about at all. perhaps unfortunately for you, there is more to human existence than what happens inside your one specific head.
transgender people do not uniformly enter a state of crisis when misgendered. many simply wish it had not happened, similarly as i imagine you would prefer, all else being equal, to not be mistaken for a man on the phone. you're creating your own scenarios here.
