Genuine question

In the interests of polite discourse, I'll take you at your word. There's a really easy answer: You identify as a woman. You're therefore not non-binary by definition. The ideas underpinning that are more complex, of course, but your question has a straightforward answer.

If you do identify as non-binary -- if you've come out since writing this -- then, of course, you're non-binary. "Gender non-conforming" is not the same as "non-binary", though.

How? I do not wholly identify with feminine gender norms. I like lots of male gender stuff like muddy sports, being forceful and wearing comfortable shoes. How am I not non-binary?

Because what you like, and how you present, are (related to) gender presentation. They are not gender identity. You identify, despite your likes, as a woman, no?

I mean this really sincerely: how have you been writing about this stuff for so long and you still don't understand these crucial distinctions?

And I understand it perfectly well, thanks for the 'splaining. But it gender ideology has absolutely no basis in fact or science and lacks all internal coherence. It is more like a religion. A nebulous belief system.

That's a gear change and a different conversation. I've tried in good faith to help you out with what seems like a really basic misunderstanding or misrepresentation of our position, and where I think your error lies. I thought you were amenable to conversation. I tried.
