I can't speak for anyone else, but for me personally it is important because I didn't fit many of the stereotypes growing up. So I got insulted all the time in the conservative religious community my school was and that was around me. I get told to be more feminine. I got told that when I grew up I would have babies and stay home.

And so internally I resisted that, but I also knew I was a girl. Like, it was important to me that I could still be a girl and be all the things that were me.

That's a big part of why I feel gender. As a reaction to being told I wasn't feminine enough and that there was something wrong with me.

I guess I don't think of gender as any particular traits or anything. Gender to me is a state of being. It is entirely personal. You are what gender you are, you know it inside yourself. I just am a woman, regardless of what traits I embody at any particular moment, I am a woman, though that is just one aspect of who I am.

See, I get most of you're saying...except the "know it inside you".

I also didn't fit a lot of stereotypes, but to me it was more like..."I have a type of body that people associate with other behavior, but that is silly, and I will show them that's silly". But I also believe that no character trait is inherently gendered.
