i think of all the times i have been most happy, and in all those times gender did not play a role, happiness is androgynous i feel.

agree, or disagree?

Androgyne.
I am not Trans-masculine, I am not Trans-feminine.
I am not Bigender, Neutrois or Genderqueer.
I am neither Cisgender nor Transgender.
I am of the 'gender' which existed before the creation of the binary genders.

Aren't most if not all emotions unrelated to gender though? The way we express them, and experience them may be different, but otherwise... Dum dee dum...

i would have thought so, but the way some people on here talk it would seem that nothing is...

Then I call for a 'back to basics'...

Humans and animals all experience emotions likewise, and all express them differently. We suffer, we laugh, we hate, we love. A dog wiggles its tail despite what's between its legs. Perhaps we'd be better off if we had one too.

I don't think one's gender has anything to do with being happy or sad or any other emotional state for that matter...happiness is a mental state and something that truly comes from within...just my opinion of course...

Peace and love,

I second that, I don't think happiness is gendered. Falling in love could be considered happiness, and everyone (whatever their gender) can fall in love.
