It is a complete nothing label because no person is actually 100% "binary". Nobody is the full 100% gender stereotype. To pretend you're special because you don't ~feel~ 100% male or female - congrats, you're just like everyone else. Nonbinary means nothing.

So "man" and "woman" are also nothing labels because nobody is a complete gender stereotype, right? You agree there are infinite ways to be a woman or a man, right? So you wouldn't mind just suddenly being the opposite gender, right? You wouldn't have to change anything about yourself! You'd just have to get used to not feeling like you're the gender everyone thinks you are. That sound cool? Cool. That's my entire life.

Stop confusing gender and sex, hun.

AYRT.

I don't feel like gender or sex comes up in terms of the way I'm treated in general. People probably assume I'm a butch woman generally in person. If someone misgenders me, I guess I'd just correct them.

But what does that do in terms of putting pronouns on social media where people aren't even using their real profile pictures? Just use a gender neutral pseudonym and a picture of a tiger or something. "Oh no, I got misgendered online!" and it's some AFAB called Beth wearing lipstick and it just says nonbinary somewhere on their profile page nobody looks at when replying to their skeet. I can see distress occurring when someone is trans, but there are tons of people making zero effort to present as the gender they identify with and getting mad when they're misgendered as not nonbinary.

What do you wear when you identify as agender? And why do you have to comply with bullshit gender essentialism to be "gendered correctly?"

Hard truth: Unless you live in some really conformist place like an Amish or Mormon community or a Southern sorority or frat house, nobody actually cares about your gender.

Most "gender neutral" clothing, including clothes designed for babies and children, is essentially pants and a shirt that aren't pink (which is a separate toxic masculinity issue in that traditionally male clothing like jeans and t-shirts are coded gender neutral and lace and frills aren't, in the present day).

But that brings up...is Harry Styles genderfluid because he likes to wear frills sometimes? Was Prince? Or do they just like wearing more interesting clothes than menswear offers them? Neither of these people were like, "yeah, I'm nonbinary!" Though Bowie kind of embraced androgyny in a more open way, he always identified as a dude, as far as I know.

Nayrt
Yep. Most clothing labels that claim to be "gender neutral" are just nondescript baggy clothes in neutral colours. Why are they always so baggy? Because if they were more form-fitting they'd have to admit that specific sizing conventions were made because male and female bodies are generally a bit different.

I'm gonna be honest, if I looked AMAB and wore a dress, you'd be entirely incorrect. A lot of people care about what gender you present as. You're kinda deluded if you look at the US and think people don't care about what gender you present as. People absolutely care but only if you could be trans in any way.

What's really bullshit gender essentialism is insisting people who don't perform a stereotype are something "other".
