I’ve been frustrated by non binary for a while. If non binary exists, then there wasn’t a binary to begin with.
Then I thought, this is because I was conflating gender and sex. It annoyed me that people were opting out of the binary, because I saw it as an assumption that everyone else opted in. However, if it relates to gender rather than sex, then I can’t really argue that gender is non binary. I agree with it.
More than that, I think women are non binary. Men are non binary. Transwomen are non binary. Transmen are non binary. Non binary is the only sensible description of gender.
Nobody is purely a female gender. Nobody is purely a male gender. The only sensible gender is non binary.
This means words like woman and man are useless to describe gender. You could be womanly or manly, but you could never fall entirely at either end of the spectrum. You can never be entirely a woman or a man on that spectrum, only somewhere in the non binary gender bread middle.
And if this is the case, and we are all, every one of us, gender non binary, and the words man and woman represent the extremes of this scale and don’t actually refer to any real people at all, then can we not just bloody use them to mean sex again?
I know this isn’t about logic, but have I made a logical flaw?
