[Serious] Please convince me gender is binary

RE: [Serious] Please convince me gender is binary

Perhaps I need an education in gender identity, But I only see gender as binary. I'm open to be convinced otherwise. Let me start with a statement, which I'm sure people will jump all over.

I define gender normalcy as that which functions according to its design. Our design is in our DNA as male or female.  Gender identity uses the same words and is thus binary. Is this a true statement? Elucidate me.

PS- I don't think I did the serious tag right, I need an education on that too please

You’re referring to one’s biological gender. Gender identity is separate, and it’s significantly a social construct. Society defines male and female gender identity, such as what activities and aspects go into the female gender identify, like being very emotional, more empathetic, more prone to think with their feelings than rationally, enjoying cooking, wearing makeup, dresses, wanting to take care of kids, being more nurturing, etc....

While male identity, is like wanting to work in construction, be a patriarch, head of the house, aggressiveness, thinking more rationally less emotionally, liking video games, being a handy man, a protector of one’s family, liking beards and beer, and red meat, wanting to be a warrior hero, like sports etc....

If you share some degree of both aspects of the identies, feel you don’t exclusively identify as one or the other, you’re non-binary.

I know some people will be offended with what I associated with some genders over the other. But all you have to do is think if I held flash cards with each aspect, and asked you which gender do you most associate each attribute with, most people would make the same distinctions, that’s gender normalacy.
