I kind of think of 'non-binary' being akin to 'androgynous', but I realize it might not be the same for those who identify as such. I see them as people just freeing themselves from gender role expectations and restrictions, which is admirable and really cool, but it sounds like pathologizing the desire to escape those expectations and restrictions. Like, it seems like the whole point of being non-binary would be to leave behind gender rather than form that escape from gender into a gender itself (which is kind of funny!)
