You act like there’s no possible way a person could stop associating gender to objects.

People who say silly things like they’d rather die than wear a dress because it’s women’s clothes are trapped by gender. People who wear skirts because they like skirts is not engaging in any sort of obsession over gender, whether conforming or not. They are normal people with preferences.

It’s possible to live in a way that could be considered gnc without making any active effort to be so. I don’t chop wood because I think it’s masculine, I chop wood because the fireplace is my main heat source.

I don’t wear dresses because I think they are feminine, I wear them because I don’t like how pants feel.

That’s preference. Most people go about their day without ever thinking about whether they are conforming to gender norms or not.

You seem to wildly misunderstand us if you think we view femininity as prison and masculinity as freedom. Both are stupid little boxes that have their own restrictions. The feminine box was created to control women, that’s undeniable. The masculine box exists to discourage men from shaming themselves with femininity.

Gender abolishment isn’t about everyone being masculine, it’s about recognising the obvious fact that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are restrictive bullshit and all people have a mixture of the traits assigned to one or the other.

Man you need to really badly do some reading on what gc actually says and what you insert between the lines and assert as common sense.
