A conundrum

If a non binary /a-gender person needed a refuge..... where would they go?

Even if they were ‘assigned female at birth’ being a-gender means they don’t have a gender so they couldn’t go to a women’s refuge as that wouldn’t correlate with their a-genderism.

Would going to a women’s refuge make them hypocrites?

You aren't assigned a sex at birth, you are born male or female.

You can identify as agender or non-binary and acknowledge you are female.

Sex is biological- male or female.

Gender is societal - the way you are supposed to present based upon your biology.

So a female identifying as agender or NB could go to a female refuge without compromising their identity.
