[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I’m giving away my age here, but back in my day (1990s and 2000s), if you didn’t want to be a girly girl, you just weren’t a girly girl. I don’t understand this misogynistic attention seeking behavior. Look at me! I’m not like other girls. I’m “non-binary” and you can refer to me in the plural. Who gives a shit. Time to break down gender stereotypes, not continue to propagate them with this crap. [/quote] +1. Totally agree. What’s the need for all these labels? How are they helping? What happened to just accepting everyone no matter how they like to spend their time, what they wear, how short their hair is, etc. I agree that misogyny plays a large role here. [/quote] Agree +2. Unclear how having more "boxes" makes us more free. How about: how you choose to live your life (legally) is no one's business. They don't have to applaud you, you don't have to applaud them. Agree that misogyny play a big role in this version of "I'm not like the other girls" pose.[/quote] +3[/quote] +4. DH and I both think we would probably feel pressured to label ourselves as "non-binary" if we were kids today, because neither of us closely conform to gender stereotypes. But the thing is, most people don't closely conform to gender stereotypes! There is so much freedom in accepting how little affect gender/sex labels have on your identity! I really wish young people today understood that. [/quote]
