Read the whole thread. Kind of love you.

The only way "I don't have a gender" isn't a stupid concept is if you accept that gender itself is a stupid concept used solely as a convenient way to define what it means to be a man or a woman. That still makes you a man or a woman, based on your sex. And ngl, when people call you one or the other, they're not peering into your soul to see what you identify as. They're just fucking looking at you and making an educuated guess.

Transexuals and the intersexed excluded, you're a man or your a woman, and its determined at birth. What that means is up to you. Everything else just seems like super special snowflake bawwing because you don't like the stereotypical way "society" thinks men and woman should be (as if society is a monolith, which it's not).

We've got enough words and enough labels and enough boxes. All this isn't creating an absence of labels and boxes, it's just piling more on.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's really a quest to remove labels or boxes; actually, it might be quite the opposite! I know a lot of people say that they don't want to be forced into a box, but from what I've seen, a lot of the people who say that don't have to worry about not fitting into a label or box in the first place. For me, it feels really uncomfortable to try and fit myself into the box of 'male' or 'female' regardless of my biological sex--and, in turn, I feel really out of place, because I don't have a proper way to describe myself. The 'genderqueer' label actually makes me feel better, because I now have a phrase that actually suits me, and a box that I can fit inside. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

For me it doesn't really have anything to do with society's roles, just how I feel. For me, it's not as simple as 'male' or 'female'--I don't mind if people think of me as one or the other for convenience, but just me, personally, it's not that simple. Does that make sense?

Either way, it's up to me to decide what I identify as, and I would hope that even if you think that my identification is 'stupid' you would be willing to respect that it's still how I feel most comfortable!
