    Starting to have gender questions? Maybe more just... doubts and like.... angst?

    Like I am cis-male, and I don't think I have dysphoria based on gender, body yes but gender just doesn't.... factor in?

    Like yeah I'm bald and bearded and do "masculine" (dumb as fuck but you know what I mean) habits (mechanic, wood working, home improvement, ect), but like... unno wtf is a "man" even, why am I a man, maybe I'm just me, I don't feel internal pressure to be a man, or anything else. Being bi/pan switch kinda takes away the sexual aspect a lot too, since I usually seek other bi/pan folks.

    Bleh something on my mind lately, not sure how much I want to dig into it, I feel like the end point for me would be nb, but even then... maybe I'm just... this being.

    Not trying to downplay others gender dysphoria or gender struggles, I'm extraordinarily privileged here but just... weirdly frustrated with it.

      These were my exact thoughts before I stumbled across the term "agender". (You might wanna look that up) You identify as a person, rather than a gender, no?

        Yeah that makes sense, like I don't make a conscious decision to present as male or w/e. I like my cloths, I like my beard, I like my nails painted. I feel like I work around myself being fat more than I work around myself being a gender. But like... why are these things a gender affirming thing anyway, bleh.

        I think agender kinda works. I'll read more on it.

          :flag-agender-pride: the closest I get to anything gender related is shaving (I use a safety razor which feels positively manly) and jackets which highlight my broad shoulders.

          The latter is moreso that I'm confident in looking good in a masculine manner rather than preferring the masculinity of it in itself.

            K ya that nails it. Masc clothing just fits me better and makes me more comfortable. I do want a nice sundress to lounge around and garden in. That shit is fantastic, just need to find one I can look good in.

      This describes my feelings to the point. Can't really help you because I'm not much further. Just know that even non-binary also feels wrong, I identify more as myself than as some sort of social stereotype. Agender might be it.
