Not really. Then agender would not be anything else than a ''feeling''. Even though you KNOW that it is not there, you probably have male and female traits even if you don't think about genders like most people do.

What are "male and female traits"? And what is gender other than a "feeling"? Whenever people talk about gender, it feels the same as when people talk about souls. Just because you say I have one doesn't mean I have to believe you. And there certainly isn't anything like enough data to "prove" the existence of either beyond some fairly obvious socially and culturally derived norms.

But I'm a good girl, and I'm willing to accept that it's different for other folks, that they have really strong feelings about gender, that they have intrinsic gender identities and whatnot. That's cool. I can respect that. But it ends at the tip of my surgically-altered little nose. I am my body, my sex, my flesh. That's it.

And I don't really identify as agender. That's just a word people made up to describe people like me. I don't feel a need to identify an absence.

I'll think about this a little more, but I still do not believe that it makes any sense.

That's fine. I don't think you make much sense either. But we don't really have to understand each other to get along. Just a drop or two of respect is enough. Okay?

I agree with this.  Also non-binary is an expression of certain amounts of masculine and feminine.  There is a part of me that is feminine that wants to express itself in fashion and the masculine part of me wants to express itself in fashion too.

I basically do the opposite of this I guess. I like clothes that you can't easily identify whether they came from the men's or the women's section of the store. I don't know why. Maybe because it's a way of visually opting out of a system I don't like very much. Maybe it's just 'cause they make me look really hot. ;)

Doesn't anybody else wander around a shop in a daze and then go 'I like that'...because that's how I shop.

Sometimes I wander everywhere in a daze.  :D

Yes, haha. I tend to lose track of what gendered section of the store I'm in.

Jamie, how long have you been a mod? Have you always been and I'm just oblivious?

No, I was asked just recently.  I'm still feeling my way and learning new things.
Thanks for noticing.

I hope you are healing well.
