My theory on "non-binary" identities:
Some women have extremely low self-esteem, which leads to them being uncomfortable with the idea of femininity. And after all, if women are supposed to be feminine beautiful, but they're not feminine & don't *feel* beautiful, they must not be women.
So they reject womanhood in favor of a more neutral label. "Non-binary." Now they don't have to deal with the associations or expectations of being a woman OR a man.
As someone who has struggled with self-esteem and body image, I understand the thought process and inclinations.
However, being a woman or man isn't something you feel or perform. It's just what you are. Putting on a suit doesn't make you a different gender.
I feel for people like Bella Ramsey, but the truth is young women not being comfortable in their own skin is nothing new or revolutionary.
