Short and insightful account Vaid-Menon's experience as non-binary and gender non-conforming. To me it clearly illustrates how sometimes cis people say that they don't support gender roles, yet it is so ingrained that they perpetuate them all the time.

Transphobic person: Anyone can wear a dress, I don't care, it doesn't determine their gender.
Harry Styles: Is masculine and wears a dress.
Transphobic person: That's not allowed! He's destroying masculinity!
