I am probably quite agender, as I have no intrinsic sense of my gender. I simply accepted my AGAB (assigned gender at birth) without questioning it. At some point, I realized that I don’t feel any connection to this gender, no feeling like other people have. I also don’t see it as something that influences my personality and I don’t apply to gender norms. I just don’t care about gender. (This btw. also makes it harder for me to understand people whose sense of gender is so strong that they even reject their AGAB, although I accept their feeling, of course.) So how do you “feel” gender?
That’s all through societal expectations though, isn’t it? You can take any of these things and find that they’re associated with different genders in different places around the world and different time periods. I don’t think it would make sense to say that a trans person is only trans in a specific place and time.
yes, but so is gender. gender is largely socially enforced. these behaviors and habits will be judged based on how you are perceived.
