Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Do you think if I identified as non binary I could not shave my legs/bits to take the kids swimming?

Or is non binary restricted to the under-40yos with blue hair?

Because I already genuinely always wear trousers, never wear make up, have a boy leg swimming costume, do DIY, have a stem degree, don't watch love island etc

I don't feel feminine
I am a woman who hates having periods and having social pressure to conform to female stereotypes.
However I enjoyed birthing, breastfeeding, and being the main carer for my children.

So I reckon I'm non binary?

But really, the only social pressure I bow to is hair removal. Not sure why?

I am a woman. I am very feminine. I fit nicely with most of the gender stereotypes of being a woman. But I don’t really remove body hair. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Joys of being divorced and living alone, #23686234: social pressure doesn't matter most of the time, nobody sees my naked legs most of the time - never mind any other hairy parts.

I totally get it, though: I'll actually shave my armpits and legs when, e.g. going on a date or when I decide to go into work wearing a skirt/dress. Or when going for a swim with someone else in tow.

Or is non binary restricted to the under-40yos with blue hair?

I totally qualify for this. The under-40 is an accident of birth, mind, and the blue hair is hopefully a temporary effect from confetti dye bleeding into my bleached mane. But I guess I still qualify, so I should milk it for what it's worth while it lasts, I suppose? Grin
