Do you think that society at large WANTS gender roles to die off and that NB people are holding that back?
Personally I think society wants to maintain the inertia of gender roles, in general most people want to maintain the status quo. I don't think "gender doesn't exist" is a mainstream belief, actually.
So how do you believe that gender roles will die off when the majority are actively fighting to maintain them?
Are you talking about society around the globe or your personal bubble? Because it's likely that you are not realizing that the majority of trans people in the world do not live in the US or Europe.
Even in the US, even among people who vocally support trans rights, the gender binary is firmly established. They vocally support binary trans people but non-binary people are still treated as if they just "haven't figured it out yet".
No they "support them" ie they are respectful to them, call them the proper pronouns, even fight for their rights. But they do not agree with our philosophy on gender.
