Dan Savage tackles two questions on non-binary gender identities and one on asexuality in his weekly column. The answers aren’t totally awful.

What has changed in the last few years? There’s more discussion about gender now, LR, and that’s a good thing. Culturally enforced gender norms are ridiculous, and the policing of gender expression/identity is oppressive and often violent. This critical and necessary discussion about gender has sparked a great deal of interest in—and, in some quarters, generated a lot of sympathy for—people who aren’t just talking about gender but struggling with it, doing something about it, and redefining it. But “interest in” and “sympathy for” have a way of attracting poseurs and attention-seekers.
