@thalassa @lirazel yeah I think gender is like...a whole bunch of things shoved together into a trenchcoat, and some people only have a fiew of those pieces, some have a different collection of those pieces, and some have all of them and some have none, and so sometimes people talk past each other a bit when trying to explain or describe what it is to be a gender. For some people their gender is what they were raised and socialized as, for some people it's what they feel they are inherently, for some it's the social role they find most appealing for themself, for some it's probably other things too! or any combination of the above. and then there's also that different people have different amounts to which their gender is important to them, which compounds the effect of the differences in what the gender is/comes from.
