View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Masculinity is what you make it!
I have a pin with this slogan on it, and I live by it. IMO, not enough men and women are willing to consider that you don’t have to be nonbinary to step outside gender norms when you want to.
I consider myself a man, because I fit mostly with the presentation and social roles typically associated with men. ANDDDDD I love to paint my nails 💅, would love to make masculine skirts a thing (haven’t gone for it yet because it wouldn’t be worth it - job), and I’m comfortable crying in front of people and showing my emotions.
I’m married with two kids, long beard, masc voice, honestly mostly traditional in my presentation. I’m just comfortable with the idea that nothing REQUIRES me to do things that are “for men”, and nothing PROHIBITS me from doing things that are “for women”.
There's nothing here!
