Discussion Those who support or identify with non-binary gender ideology, why?

[Pessimist]

I believe that non-binary gender ideology reinforces gender stereotypes instead of breaking them. Society progresses by expanding what men and women can be, and not by creating new labels for nonconformity.

It's a rare medical condition, and in most cases it'a still clear whether the person is male or female. Rare exceptions don't redefine the rule.

They are defined by basic biological roles in reproduction. It's clear which category someone falls into.

Oh, you're definitely a cis man if you genuinely have no idea about PCOS and other types of internal or hormonal intersexuality.

You're the one reinforcing gender stereotypes if you think people transition because of what women/men can or cannot be. Gender is an internal thing, and being nonbinary wouldn't be erased even if women or men had no expectations from society whatsoever.

Honestly, if you don't "feel" your gender and only base it on the societal standards of what people say you are, I'd suggest looking into gender agnosticism. Because you are not the norm.
