Agreed, thanks for the statement. I have a problem wrapping my mind around the feelings because they are completely foreign to my mind and habits of self-image. But I completely respect and honor people's self-definition and preferences.

I know this is true but it can tip over into compelled speech, as we know, as well as become a fad because it's the new hip thing.

You live in a world of billions of people. Billions. I don't think you get billions. You choose to ignore billions, and home in on individuals. Yeah, go on, be special.

All feelings are valid and deserve to be taken seriously. But it's possible to make invalid statements based on valid feelings, and we shouldn't confuse the two. It's like being a Christian vs being a creationist. One is valid, the other is just an error in sensemaking.

I don't see the difference btwn "I feel non-binary" and "I feel Jesus died for our sins & I'll live forever in heaven by affirming such"

My concern is that gender identification results from & contributes to gender stereotypes. When someone "feels like" a gender, what exactly are they relating to? Are they endorsing the idea that men and women think and feel in completely different ways?

The feelings may be valid, but that doesn't mean the interpretations of those feelings aren't skewed by social norms. "I want to wear dresses and feel pretty" is a valid feeling! But interpreting that feeling as inherently feminine means echoing and reinforcing patriarchal norms.
