I think discussions about gender are mostly futile. Gender is one of those things that can be really hard to define and is influenced by society quite a bit. I don't really understand the concept of identifying as cisgender or non-binary. I don't identify as either of those things. I have a penis and am therefore a male and I think most people would describe me as a masculine guy, but I don't wake up thinking, "I'm a cisgender, masculine male."
It's just something that never really crosses my mind. I don't "feel" like a man or a woman. I am just me and I don't really think about what my feeling is toward that because there's just no feeling there. I just feel like me.
So... convince you gender is binary? Nah, I'm good. I don't really care what you or anyone else thinks about gender, to be honest. A lot of people on the right go way too far about the subject and a lot of people go way too far on this subject the other way. It's all a bit whacky if you ask me. Let's all just treat one another with respect and show people the basic considerations that we hope to be shown when out in the world. Someone being gay or straight or binary or non-binary or a double espresso frappuccino with skim milk enthusiast or a trans-gender ballet dancer has zero to do with my life or the people I care about in my life. If someone in my life came out to me as gay or trans or whatever I wouldn't really give a flying fuck honestly. I would say, "Okay, I love you anyway. Now where are we going to get food cause I'm hungry." I'm usually hungry.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
