[quote=Anonymous]Very interesting post OP! (As an aside, you worked in a mine? Wow.) I identify a lot with what you wrote. I never identified with being "female,' actively hate a lot of female presentation stuff (dressing up etc), and never encountered a lot of gender issues as a kid. However, I did start feeling more "female" when I entered the workplace and especially when I had a baby, and started to see how my gender worked against me. My take is that a lot of kids who identify themselves as "non-binary" these days are just like you and me -- we don't fit with societal roles for our genders. We don't want to be a different gender, but rather don't identify with the expectations for masculinity/femininity. I have no doubt that if I were a teen today, I'd identify with one of the crazy new labels/non-labels and gradations that kids today on the internet have come up with. All it would mean is "don't you dare make me wear a dress!" [/quote]
