View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
I do think language has evolved and there is a generational divide here on semantics. There are women out there who don't want to be treated in relation to their gender and don't particularly feel like a woman vs a person. I think a lot of gen z in this category may consider themselves NB whereas older women in this category consider themselves women but want to fight for a broader societal concept of womanhood. Neither is right or wrong per se. Personally I see gender as a spectrum and NB is 3rd category in the middle but is still on a spectrum in itself.

I don’t really like seeing gender as a spectrum because I feel like there are a lot of ways I can imagine gender performance that don’t fall somewhere in between “extreme man” and “extreme woman” but are just wholly separate. I do think that NB people do often fall somewhere in between though.
