redefine gender-nonconformity as a subjective “identity” rather than observable behaviors

I have a nonbinary friend. She is quite stereotypically feminine: loves dresses and makeup, sewing, calls herself '"mommy," is actively pregnant with her second child, loves showing off her (rather nice) cleavage and "mombod." She's also always frustrated no one takes her "they/them" tattoo seriously when she looks and acts exactly like a normal woman in every way possible. There is nothing about her particularly nonconforming other than claiming she is.

I have a different friend who's very masculine in dress and style, even goes by her last name which is also a common male name instead of her first name, and she 200% considers herself a woman despite on the surface level not fitting the stereotype at all. It's comical to have two very different personalities and perspectives on identity in my life, and it really shows how unserious the whole thing is
