I usually think you are a girl, or at least assume you are, but then again I often kind of know that I am wrong. Even though I know I am wrong (or at least I think I do), I still persist in thinking you are female.

There are multiple states involved: There's a female portion, male portion, any one of a number of other partial genders and non-genders.

At any given time, your gender is indeterminate until something causes it to collapse, whether it's being required to make a shoe decision, someone calling you by a gendered name on the street, or hearing discussions at work that you feel you should/shouldn't be a part of. At which point, it is temporarily determined by your reaction to the thing at hand.

In other words, m'dear, you're a Schroedinger. Or a Schroedegender, as the case may be.

Hell, I can't even describe mine.

That's definitely a "wait for you to tell me, and assume it might change from time to time." Hell, I'm learning to do that more and more often.

Answering without reading previous answers:

You present as butch, and that is not a complete story.
You have a femme-y side, and that is not a complete story.
Other things about you that relate to what I call gender (whether or not anyone else does):
-- your tropism for pain (giving and receiving)
-- your constant awareness of outsider status
-- your complex relationship with being watched/seen

I don't have a name for your gender, but those are the aspects of it that are most prominent for me.

That's actually a very useful breakdown. Thank you.
