I LOVE THIS SHIT: Customizing Your Gender (or not)

So for funsies, I'm making a pronouns.page account and when I'm not looking up the unfamiliar terms, I'm wrapped up in the nuances of

agender
neutrois
nonbinary
gendervoid
genderqueer

And. So. On.

I love noodling over stuff like this. This is why I appreciate and enjoy microlabels. For the people that need them, they can convey exactly what they mean. And for ruminating introspective overthinkers such as myself, it is like a really good snack that I can't put down.

I started out genderqueer... then neutrois... non-binary... now I'm feeling agender nowadays. Maybe gendervoid. Definitely staticgender--

Derek from The Good Place saying "there is television static where my gender should be." — I love making these.

--and oh my glob do not get me started on xenogenders we could be here all day! and neopronouns--

Ahem.

Some are happy with their Factory Settings, but I was always one of those folx who'll mess with the settings menu and layout and colors until I get it just right. And change them again whenever.

It's so cool how we can just customize our experience like this. If we want to.

All this creativity. We did that. We do that.

Fascinating.

...Maybe I'm genderfluid on a technicality.
