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

Yes, I did ask you to explain and I don’t care for a troll answer.

It's *not* a troll answer.

It's reality.

If gender as a construct did not exist the sexes would still treat each other differently because we are a sexually dimorphic species.

We different but equal.

You’re talking about things that make up gender roles

There is a reason those things make up the gender roles though.

simplistic, narrow expectations that don’t account for our current scientific or social understanding.

I disagree, I believe all of them can be accounted for somewhere along our evolutionary line, even if we currently do not understand why.

That is not divorced from gender.

Because gender is not divorced from biological sex.

Or at least it wasn't for the majority of it's existence.

You simply aren’t reading my comments or are refusing to understand. Our understanding of used to be a certain way, rooted in some things that were always immaterial and some that were material but lacking depth. Now we have greater insight and can more clearly see the spectrum, biological and social, that makes up humanity, and I assume that understanding will continue to grow with more time. Therefore our language must evolve with it as has our behaviours. Obviously there are always some that cling to outdated models, both linguistically and socially, but society as a whole will continue to move.
