I feel as if when I am in conversations the element of gender is just something I don't concern myself with and I don't even think about until someone says something like, "But you're a girl" and then I sit for a moment and realize "Oh yea we still live in a binary". I am androgyne, and i personally just don't see gendered things at all, but sometimes I do things that intentionally blur the lines of the binary such as bind my chest but wear a skirt at the same time. The other day I wore some spray called "clean" (its a really good brand seriously it smells amazing and just like cool rain) and my dad asked me if I was wearing cologne and I said no, and then he asked if I was wearing perfume and I said no because the spray wasn't labeled as either and it has that blur I am talking about and I asked him what the difference between the two was and he said well boys normaly wear cologne and girls normally wear perfume and I said well isn't it all just spray that smells good? why do we have to coordinate our smells with our genitals and our gender and he didn't really have anything to say. I feel like in ways I am that spray, people are confused but also slightly curious by how I present and who I am And it's not that I don't feel gender, it's just that I am the blurred line between male and female.
Welcome to Susan's, and welcome to the club. That's the space I live in, too. 🙂 See you around!
