Myths About Non-Binary People and its Relation to Masculinity

The article attached offers a view into the myths surrounding non-binary people, which in itself is a good read, but it also focuses on how this plays into masculinity.

The binarial approach to life is one the western world seems stuck on, despite the multitude of non-binary genders that other cultures have embraced for millennia. This new view into gender identity and gender expression could serve to help dismantle some of the more toxic views of masculinity based on the fact that it always works in opposition to femininity.
