A brief pointless post about gender

[sorcyress]

I think realizing (and becoming comfortable with the fact that) I'm genderqueer has made it a lot easier for me to be traditionally feminine.

Like, I'm a lot more willing to be excited about cute bras and awesome high heels and the wearing thereof, since it's all just a different kind of drag.

I've often imagined that I might find the same thing -- as an occasional thing, almost as a joke (or "with quote marks around it", as Tigger once said), not as a general preference -- if given the opportunity to be cisgendered. (Maybe you're being cisgendered when you're in female mode? I don't know, and I'm not trying to say anything for or against your observation except "this makes intuitive sense to me".)

I'm not cisgendered, at all. I am cissexed (cis-chromosomed?) since I have absolutely no qualms about my body and don't want to modify it, but the mental stuff is genderneutral, or genderqueer, or effeminate male. A lot of my internal stuff feels like I think of myself as a guy, but I still use female pronouns most of the time to refer to myself, and honestly, I'm becoming increasingly mellow about the whole thing.

Soyeah.
