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

It does serve a purpose though, even if we treat each other equally.

Gender was constructed to enable us to tell the difference between the sexes without having to physically look at their genitals.

I'm sure most people would agree it would be pretty bad to walk around looking into each others underwear to understand what sex each person you meet is.

It's important to know who we wish to date before we date them because we may have future aspirations / plans that require the other person to have certain characteristics to achieve that.

This is why gender exists.
