I've noticed that recently more and more conventionally feminine women are 'coming out' as non binary. I have a prediction. The more non binary becomes associated with femininity, and women, the more it will be openly scorned and rejected as an identity. Dave Chappell, or some other popular male comedian, will make a joke about 'crazy non binary chicks'. Women won't be able to escape sexism by identifying as non binary because the sexism will follow them. And then there will be think pieces like 'we need to talk about problematic non binary females in trans spaces', and the non binary women will be told off or castigated by taking up too much space, or talking or whatever.
It seems that the opposite is happening. If you watch non-binary (almost exclusively female) activists, they seem to be winning the argument whether one has to transition to be trans. This involves branding as transphobic, cis-normative and regressive everyone, including transsexuals, who believe that merely claiming a trans identity is not enough to be trans.
It is a bizarre experience to watch one of these videos when you share a large amounts of views on gender (as the norms, expectations and stereotypes associated with either sex) with the Youtuber in question but see them just falling short of grasping what radfem consider the most important points about this understanding of gender - that it is imposed based on sex and used as a tool of oppression against us in patriarchal societies. And that the female sex can neither escape nor remedy that oppression by cleaving to a masculine gender nor by conforming to the norms, expectations and stereotypes associated with the female sex nor by declaring oneself to be all of that/above all of that as non-binary.
And for the most part it seems to be open conflict between female transsexual individuals who are expressing their internalised misogyny by attacking and ridiculing non-binary female individuals for claiming to be non-binary while being very obviously female (and often quite feminine in appearance) who are in turn declaring the former to be regressive transmedicalists playing into the hands of transphobes by seeking to pass as the other sex.
This has been going on for at least the last five years, but now, at long last, it looks like the non-binary activists have won that fight.
And certainly if you read Material Girl, Kathleen Stock shows that after queer theorists had successfully unmoored gender identity from any and all physiological aspects of sex, this was the inevitable outcome.
What this will mean longterm for the vulnerable individuals for whom the GRA was written in the first place is unclear. But I doubt it will benefit them.
