How did you figure out your gender?

And what's gender to you?

[Salami]

Ehh i always felt that i wasnt my assigned gender but then i accidentaly stumbled accros a term that sounded exactly what i felt. 

Gender for me is (most simple explanation) a third gender it isint related to femininity or to masculinity any way it is its own thing.

I just feel connected or belonging to a given category, so when people use gender-specific pronouns or broad categories to describe the gender membership I feel a sense that I’m in one of the categories and not the others. As for why I’m just cis, I just have no desires to change my body that I’m already used to, although I’ve fantasized the different utilities, I’m fine just staying cis, neither euphoric nor dysphoric. I’m neither trans nor agender, because I just feel neutral in my cis-assigned body and pronouns for real life, and because I feel a sense of belonging to some gender category, instead of feeling like I don’t fit any categories.

Although when society (anyone else) says “you’re less of a [gender]” or “are you really a [gender]?”, those gender policing statements give discomfort to everyone regardless of cis or trans, society could stop gender policing, but it’s an unrealistic expectation.

For me I’m not so attached to it, by attachment I mean I’m apathetic if I get misgendered, I’m neither euphoric nor dysphoric if that happens, but others may be more attached to theirs, as in they don’t want to be misgendered and would feel dysphoric if they were, or they feel euphoric in a certain set of pronouns, and need gender affirmation through preferred pronouns. But I don’t, I can care less whatever gender I’m perceived as, you can assume anything but I’ll still be myself. If I or anyone tries to copy and paste posts into here, https://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php I don’t care what it says, since all it does is make assumptions based on stereotypes, so it will vary depending on specific post contents, style and other factors.

For real life I’d always be perceived as AGAB, especially when I’m cis, but as long as nobody tries to enforce stereotypes, I’ll just feel neutrally connected to my AGAB.
