I think what I'm saying is that gender identity exists on some level besides either gendered stereotypes, or biological sex. And I think that's true of binary gendered identities in general. You have this conceptual framework of what gender is - gender does exist, as a concept, in our society that shapes us from birth and that we hear about and think about and that we use to understand the world and all the rest of it. And that conceptual framework is enormously complex, and socially mediated, and changes massively across different societies and across history and all the rest of that. It's not just "Boys like army men and girls like Barbies" - talking about gender concepts is not just talking about gender stereotypes.

But those concepts do exist, and they're part of the space within which we form our own individual identities. And the particular relationship that an individual person has to those broad and complex concepts can vary enormously. From person to person, how those broad ideas relate to who you are can be different. And for some people, the relationship that is most authentic and accurate to their lived experience is to say that their identity does not fit within either binary gender category - no matter how broad and accommodating those ideas about gender are. And I think that's sensible, and I don't see how it impinges on anyone else's identity at all.

What I don't get about your position is, what do you think gender *is*, that makes it impossible to have a non-binary identity?
