I hope this isn't offensive to say, but the whole "gender" thing kind of confuses me as a concept. I am AFAB. I am not particularly feminine and I don't identify with feminine things. Yet I am not masculine and I don't identify with masculine things either. Some people might say...oh "so you identify as agender or nonbinary, right?"

Well no, actually. I guess like...I just don't understand why "masculine" or "feminine" now often (but not always) equate to "male" or "female". I personally identify as female because I am AFAB. I'm not bothered by it. I don't identify as feminine though.

It's just like...I'm me. My "gender" or how I choose to present myself doesn't matter to me. Identifying as female lets my medical providers know what organs I have and what diseases are relevant to me. When my bits don't matter, I just either go with the default assigned to me ("female") or I don't bother to correct people if they assume otherwise (like if people online think I'm male, I just go with it).

Idk. I more than support anyone's ability to want to be called a certain thing, to want to express themselves a certain way, etc. I more than support transgender and nonbinary peeps. I just will never fully and entirely understand why people feel so strongly about these distinctions.

But I love you all and support you. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I'm just a confused AFAB person.
