Superb analysis and hilarious. I nearly spat my drink out a couple of times! When someone accuses Birdy of appropriating non-binary characteristics for having short hair and wearing glasses, they reveal a shallow and prescriptive perception of the sexes. Humans can be whatever they want to be without resorting to surgery or hormone treatment. Dennis nails it when he says "it's called having a personality". Coincidentally I mention Bowie in my first article. He opened up a whole landscape of maleness. One of the reasons he inspired such devotion is that he showed us that far from being weird, it was desirable to be different. Ironically, this current movement is one of the most restrictive, conforming tribes ever. Thank you both. Brilliant.
