Agree with every word. I just joined a tapatalk women's forum (because I'm permanently suspended from Reddit, and my new accounts are shadowbanned within hours... why? "Misandry"... men are a vulnerable group nowadays) had to explain what gender nonconforming means. Someone assumed I can't be gnc and a woman/lesbian. The conversation started because I was asked to go by a Christian name, and I said I prefer a name that isn't feminine. It sucks that gender conforming women assume I'm a damn man because I don't conform.

It's a loss for all men and women, for society at large, when non-gender-confirming people believe they have to transition to the opposite sex. It narrows down and restricts the definition of what a man or a woman can be and will lead to more internal struggle for people growing up.

Abigail Shrier in a podcast with Megan Murphy said that even this concept of “gender non conforming” is a bit fked up when being good at math makes a girl gnc. We are really backtracking our parameters for what “gender conforming” means.
