One of the main arguments for the gender binary is the fact that someone who fits inside the binary system can have a gender expression or personality which differs from the Western<ref>European and North American</ref> binary system.<ref>A somewhat misinformed argument arguing this: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/sep/16/drop-gender-stereotypes-we-are-all-non-binary | One of the main arguments for the gender binary is the fact that someone who fits inside the binary system can have a gender expression or personality which differs from the Western<ref>European and North American</ref> binary system.<ref>A somewhat misinformed argument arguing this: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/sep/16/drop-gender-stereotypes-we-are-all-non-binary</ref> This argument is misinformed, since it is based on the single-cultural assumption that gender identity is the same thing as personality.
