Dembroff has written multiple articles with implications for non-binary gender.  


In "Beyond the Binary: Genderqueer as Critical Kind", Dembroff argues that, through their focus on only "men" and "women", previous approaches to understanding the metaphysics of contribute to "systematic misunderstandings" of genderqueer persons (here used as an umbrella term)<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dembroff|first=Robin|date=2020|title=Beyond Binary: Genderqueer as Critical Gender Kind|url=https://philpapers.org/rec/DEMBBG-2|journal=Philosophers' Imprint|volume=20|issue=9|pages=1–23}}</ref>. Dembroff proposes a new concept, "critical gender kinds", defined as groups whose members subvert dominant gender ideologies.
