@irotsoma @quietlavender Huh, interesting. That seems pretty close to what I'm experiencing for myself. I don't consider myself agender, but I feel pretty ambivalent towards gender. I might as well be a genderless entity for all I care. Gender presentation is a thing that I struggle with a lot, be it being masculine or being feminine, but your reasons for presenting feminine makes sense to me and I can see that for myself too. And yeah, physically I want to be a woman. It just feels more right. So, thanks for your post I guess. It kind of helped me think about my relationship to my gender and eased some of my insecurities I've had over it.
TLDR Gender is hard.
Glad it's helpful. Gender is complex despite the propaganda from the far right trying to demonize gender-non-compliant people. Deconstructing things into their base components and analyzing them separately helps me a lot.
