idk I feel its pretty useful in finding others like you?

True but to me my gender is really not a factor in who I am, and while it might be a useful huistic for finding those who are similar to me, I can think of far better ones then that (e.g. hobbies, position on the asexuality spectrum)

Your statement about politicians is something I agree with, I'm more thinking about how identifying as an outlier is less useful then identifying as your birth gender when doing statistical analysis for polls with low sample size which I often participate in, especially when it makes no difference to me.

by being publicly open about it, you help others feel confident ...

That's a good point that I'll think on

but again, you do you boo and I'm gonna keep being me by confusing all the guys in the gym lockers 🤪

You too, I wish you luck with that.
