my take is gender is entirely made up and bullshit but broadly it's still real (even if it gets incredibly fuzzy around the edges) and so i'll make my way through it picking the place in it that make me happiest and i hope everyone else does too. i try not to worry about it beyond that unless i'm arguing with someone who is being an asshole over someone else's gender, but i always make sure to recognize that it's constructed
There is def a part of me that wants to just not worry about it and cognitive dissonance myself, but... I don't know how I feel identifying by such poorly constructed, fuzzily-bordered labels. Can I be happy with that? Is it even useful?(maybe?) Does it encompass all of my identity?(probably not lol) Is it harmful, do we actually unironically need to lead a People's War against binary gender????
