nayrt - but I don't find I have any particular "attachment" to my gender. I acknowledge I have been influenced by it, absolutely, whether through external forces or slight variation in brain chemistry. It is what it is. But I don't think I'd lose any "me" if I woke up tomorrow as a guy. I think I'd have a brief adjustment period where I had to get used to looking at myself in the mirror and recognize my own body as mine, and sure, verbally normalize that I'm now a guy, not a woman in a guy's body. But I really don't think I'd have much trouble adjusting. The me in my head isn't a gender.

Maybe that's an extreme example, but I can't imagine most people spend a lot of time thinking about their gender internally unless it constantly comes up (such as in a sexist society) or is a source of trouble for them (i.e. trans people).

I'm so glad I'm not the only person to think this way!

NAYRT, but I would flip out and go get gender reassignment surgery to get my female body back, and I don’t even like my body most of the time because I don’t think it’s feminine enough, and I’m a cis woman. Realizing that I would absolutely have the mother of all panic attacks if I woke up with a dick actually helped me understand where trans people were coming from.

ia with you. everyone is so focused on gender now, it's making people even more divisive and stupidly self-conscious.

Same here. I'm comfortable being female but I don't think I would be bothered if I were suddenly male instead because gender isn't something that ever even really crosses my mind at all.
