I am a female bodied person with traits associated with "masculine".

I don't even understand what "gender" is or is supposed to be, other than a collection of stereotypes that don't seem very useful to me (due to so many humans deviating from the stereotype in one or more ways).

The whole question of "gender" confuses me so much, I can't even identify what it is or what it is supposed to mean or how it applies to me. (So I identify as non-gendered.)

This is my reaction to the whole thing:



I don't know where to begin, other than by routinely calling out and objecting to stereotypes when I hear them.
