A friend of mine came out as non-binary in a similar situation and I don't feel disappointed, I feel utterly betrayed. Identifying out of oppression instead of trying to fix it for everyone is pure cowardice (and selfishness!). It leaves the rest of us behind to fight against stereotypes because we understand biological reality and admit we are women.

I refused to wear dresses as a child. I still refuse to do so now. I have a bigger pocket square collection than any man I know. I'm also a woman.

Honestly, I even dislike the whole "GNC" situation. Wear what the hell you want. Have whatever hobbies you want. Be you. A you that just happens to be, biologically, a woman and understands the importance of sticking together to give other women the opportunity to just be themselves. That doesn't make you a "GNC" woman, just a woman -full stop.

Also: I was open (diplomatically) about the fact that I don't agree with her decision.
