Date: 2017-09-01 03:31 pm (UTC)But I have a chip on my shoulder in this area. If I believe all the self-appointed experts, I'm none of: man, woman, trans, or queer. It's frankly easier to pass as whatever I'm being taken as this week, than to try to communicate with those a naive person would expect to be my natural allies. [And apologies for mixing nouns and adjectives in the above list - I originally wrote 'male, female, trans, or queer' but that invites a lecture about gender 101 - people with gender-identification generally insist on nouns rather than adjectives for that identity, or did so last time I was taking notes.]

Gender confused? The one thing I was never confused about was my gender! And that was by no means the worst of them.
