I suppose I could 'gender' every facet about me, or the world in general. Like, 'gender' anything. But I wouldn't really know where to begin and I feel like anything could be anything depending on how it's interpreted. I'll try to give a thoughtful answer though:

I'm male, but my body is undermasculinized and feminized, so I'm not sure if that makes my body feminine or masculine. I like a lot of stereotypically feminine things like sewing, fashion, design, baking, dance, floral arrangement, romance, breathing, and some stereotypically masculine things like heavy metal and martial arts. My personality and behavior is feminine, as in I have a lot of what might be commonly considered feminine traits, but I probably have some masculine ones, too. Maybe my perspective is feminine? Maybe I'm not even using these words right. Hopefully this was more informative than not.

It was informative, and it kind of reinforced my view that masculine and feminine are very, very much social constructs and I hate how almost backwards we are going in terms of thinking what is masculine and feminine. I also greatly dislke when men are into baking, sewing, dance, ect they get to be serious about it, while women are just kind of expected to be domestic:( I really like cooking and baking too!
