I have to be honest I am pretty clueless about gender. Like I see gender function as social roles on a daily basis, but no framework to analyze it on a more meaningful level than picking up on some common behaviors and stereotypes.

Uhh so basically you got these labels, and they're kinda made up bullshit based on nothing, but so is the rest of language so if you wanna communicate it can be useful to use them. Some people find the labels limiting and prefer to avoid them, and that's cool. Other people like them and find them useful for describing themselves, and that's cool too. Some people get a sort of tunnel-vision where they see these approaches as opposed but they're really not. If someone is AMAB and they like to wear skirts, they might identify as a cis male crossdresser, or as an NB who doesn't give a fuck about gender norms, or as a trans woman - and indeed, the same person might identify as all three at different points in their life. And the gender police most likely won't care about the differences. Ultimately just do what you want and let other people do what they want and if you like labels you can use them, or not.
