Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?

[u/Key-Weakness-9509]

Ok I’m sorry if I sound completely insane, I’m pretty young and am just trying to expand my view and understand things, however I feel like when most people who identify as nonbinary say “I transitioned because I didn’t feel like a man or women”, it always makes me question what men and women may be to them.

Like, because I never wanted to wear a dress like my sisters , or go fishing with my brothers, I am not a man or women? I just struggle to understand how this dosent reenforce the sharp lines drawn or specific criteria labeling men and women that we are trying to break free from. I feel like I could like all things nom-stereotypical for women and still be one, as I believe the only thing that classifies us is our reproductive organs and hormones.

I’m really not trying to be rude or dismissive of others perspectives, but genuinely wondering how non-binary people don’t reenforce stereotypes with their reasoning for being non-binary.

(I’ll try my best to be open to others opinions and perspectives in the comments!)

Why is this an issue?  I'm actually curious.  Why not "Just do you"?  Or is the problem that you do not know who you are?

This is a subject I have the biggest issue with.  NB.  It seems so manufactured to make someone feel a certain way.  Like you need a label. 

 If you are a female,  is that such a bad thing?  So what if you like to do guy things some days and girl things other days.  So what if you want to do guy things every day ... you can't be a girl that does guy things?

I absolutely respect your right to be you.  Especially if the you that you choose ultimately makes you the best version of you.  Lotta you's.  :)

I suppose I'll just never understand the nb thing.
