You sound very much like me, in terms of what you like and/or dislike..
I am in jeans most of the time, have enjoyed being mistaken for male ( years back when I was much thinner ) and generally enjoyed fucking with gender, but still and all, prefer having a pussy, like it being penetrated like silky stuff near my skin and would rather seduce from the pleasure of opening to someone ..
Many things in common :)
I don't think, for me, that I lack gender..I think definitions of gender, are poorly described, and characteristics are often erroneously attributed to

Or said in another fashion, it is not gender that informs who I am..
Tis I, who informs what gender can be..

I like that :)

I think where my problem with it comes in is... if I say I'm this gender or that gender, it seems to give other people a certain idea of what I'm supposed to be like. And... I don't really understand what gender is. I think that's the issue. I understand identifying with certain physical body parts, even if they're not the ones you're provided biologically. But beyond that... what makes a gender?

And I don't have any firm beliefs in that area, it's purely just me trying to understand it all.
