State Of My Gender

[pantryslut]

Lately, people are once again talking about different flavors of gender all around me. So I think it's time to ask the perennial question:

What do you think my gender is? How would you describe or label it?

I will give you my own answer tomorrow :) (Or, more likely, answers, plural.)

You "read" pretty much female to me, but my understanding of female is very damn broad; also, though, I have pretty much given up on deciding what someone else's gender is unless they either tell me in words or flag it pretty strongly non-verbally. (Which is why I didn't answer until accused of shyness -- which is true, you see, thus requiring me to come answer ;) )

I would not describe or label it -- I'd refer folks to you and let you do that. ((In addition to being shy, I'm chickenshit very respectful of people's right to define their own selves.))

Most of my friends are very respectful of people's right to define their own selves, which I think is mostly what's going on here :)

Except, see, gender is a conversation, not a statement.
