If the cause is great enough, people will volunteer to do what's right, according to the shared morals of whatever society it is.

I'm not convinced that there's a clear-cut difference between "volunteering to do what you want because it's right," "giving in to peer pressure because others want you to do it," and "being forced to do what you don't want."

Regarding my own take on gender, it is neither the first nor main adjective I use to describe myself. I agree that it is not entirely binary - while I identify as a woman/girl/female, I express it in multiple different manners (depending upon whether I'm at work, hanging out around town, visiting my parents, slouching around home all day, etc.), and there are many entirely other ways to express woman/girl/female than the ways that I choose.

Should I happen to refer to you in the third person, would you prefer that I use an ungendered/gender-free pronoun? I occasionally use "ze/hir" type pronouns when deliberately obfuscating someone's gender, or referring to someone whose gender has not been made clear to me.
