Fabulous. I guess I could identify as non binary, but I guess I've always called it 'I can do what I like despite how you are trying to socialise me how to behave'. I fell in love with my husband because of his 'manly' traits - i.e he was very practical, could use a hammer and fix an engine, but at the same time declare my capabilities in this area in the same way I fell in love with him for traits that might be regarded as 'feminine' - lithe frame, ability to cry when he hits a bird with his car, and can cook. We both identified as bisexual, which also helped. We both were raised by woman who taught us that woman were strong and capable, and would have slapped anyone who told them otherwise. My father treated me like a person, which meant it didn't matter what I did male/female wise, he just loved me as a person. It's how we raise our kids that matter.
