I wonder how much of my difficulty understanding nonbinary identities comes from having been in sex work for sooo long, where the genitals you have are incredibly important to how you're treated and the role you play.

maybe identities as a concept is really a non-starter. humans are human individuals. i think if we can accept them as they are, and see them for what they are it all makes perfect sense.. the whole exercise seems concept-related. understandable, because power... but nonetheless

Or in a world where gender roles are not perceived as rigid as some insist they are. Would maybe eliminate the need to make a gender out of every (excentric) personally trait?

My socialization was mostly on email list servers and MUDs (online text-based role-playing games). Gender wasn't really a thing unless you made it one. On the lists gender was basically ignored. In the MUDs I played whatever gender I felt like being at the time - or none at all.

It's interesting that you're wondering that because my perception is that non binary people tend to come from a perception of oppression, therefore a stronger enforcement of gender roles, whether actual or perceived.

This is true - I'm thinking of one nonbinary person I know who I believe is nonbinary out of a reaction to intense gender trauma, where their gender roles were used as a weapon against them and now they're nonbinary in an attempt to deal with that pain.

I wouldn't expect this - since so much of dysphoria is social (for many), it seems like in a society where social treatment of genders was more similar, it would be harder for anyone to have the experiences that lead someone to identify as trans
