I want to know what your gender means to you, how you define it, what it means for you to "be" that gender and how you define it. Don't fuss about 'correct definitions' or anything, this is about your experience, I want to know what it means to you. How you relate to that gender, perceive it.
Genders have a social construction aspect and is very subjective, so I think people's subjective, personal views of their own are both important and interesting. Inquiring mind wants to know!

So as some (many??) of you know I am newly hatched and autistic so
I know this isn't how most people see things and I don't mind if other people view things differently, do whatever/label yourself however you like. Also I have not so much as even worn girl clothes so, yaknow maybe my understanding will be influenced as I start to transition.
Henlo welcome to gebder thenk u hope u enjoy ur stay
This is funny in contrast to me, because there are agender or post gender people here who take hormones to make their bodies more comfortable. Whether or not someone views hormones and the physical aspect as being part of gender... well they're clearly not inherently gendered, but like maybe as a potential expression of gender? Idk, fascinating.
No sorry, good to have this as a reference point so thank u, very literal and utilitarian perspective. And that IS funny about the socks, lol.
It is one of the stays I have had that's for sure
I just can't separate it in my brain. Maybe that'll change with time?
very literal and utilitarian perspective
that's me alright. It is a very funny thought, it makes me second guess how connected sex and gender are in my brain.
The impression that I'm getting so far is that being trans long enough will cause any individual with a sufficiently decent understanding to fuckin ascend, to truly move from
to in terms of being a gender understander.
Not surprised tbh, I would not be shocked if most autistic people start out with such a literal perspective on it
also they will probably disconnect if they haven't already. Gender is fuckin fake shit, I changed my sex this past decade.
