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

I'm not sure i'm reading you correctly but would like to understand more about why you don't see it as a spectrum. Do you see it as specific categories? if so, how many? Or is it that you are interpreting spectrum as being linear? it can be multidimensional, i think just as sexuality is, but i'd still see sexuality as a spectrum. Perhaps kaleidoscope is better? Either way, i think the reason some people feel uncomfortable about new labels is they don't really want labels at all so it's just more boxes. personally if it makes people feel understood by having a box that's fine by me. Just don't really want anyone to put me in one! :)
