You, unless I'm mistaken, seem to identify exclusively as female. That means that male and female still mean something to you.
As I mentioned before, I would suspect that at least some trans people might not benefit from the idea of non-binary gender. What's the point of identifying and expressing as female, and going through all the hard times and heart breaks that entails, when the next person over says that the whole concept of gender is completely arbitrary anyway?
