I'm a little unclear how a nonbinary "escape hatch" helps us fight gender stereotypes. Wouldn't it be better to show that female personalities and presentation varies, rather than saying "we don't fit 'female', therefore we must be something else"?

Cm’om! We are all non binary. Who the hell wants to behave in a sterotypical gender-like personality? Be a man, be a woman, and behave as your internal voice tells you to do. Be free!!!! And please, do not confuse physical nature with cultural bubbling.

Plus: feme was changed to fe +male in 13th C by a male poet wanting his lines to rhyme... Plus: FEM was renamed (wo) man in 11th C to support patriarchy Using feMALE and woMAN makes us all sexists in favor of males. (hu added to man in 13th C)

Fallacy: "If gender is just reproductive features and nothing more, it makes no more sense to insist that people must look, love or act in particular ways on the basis of gender than it would to demand that people modify their behaviour on the basis of eye colour or height."

1/ From constructivist perspective, females behave feminine *because* of repr. feats that hinder them to behave like males do. E.g. women couldn't jogg regularly until sports bras and feminine hygene products enabled them to.
