i think I’m cis, don’t really care that much about gender, but i like that I look a bit like Kratos. I’m harry and bald and i like that look. but also love wearing skirts sometimes and looking pretty.
You don’t need to settle sweetie. Keep exploring and following what makes you happy. I was hairy and bald a year ago and now I am a beautiful girl. Anything is possible if you’re gay enough.
was going to joke about Scottish being my gender. but now I’m contemplating how the construct of gender and the construct of nationality are very similar. both have implied cultures, behaviours, attires, expectations, both assigned at birth, but also can change…
Nationality is a gender!!!?!? Someone ask Judith Butler they are needed for this question
I never really thought about it. Unlike sex which is at least based on the biological, gender is entirely a construct of social expectations and norms. Nationality is the same thing.
Its basically what ever set of signalling traits you adopt. So everything from presentation of sexual dimorphism be it real or artificial, badges of status, recognition cues, etc. Humans are just animals after all and we are no different. Just instead of signaling what pack we are from we do so on a grander scale and signal what nation we are from as well.
So while sex requires chemical alteration to effect in any meaningful way. Your signalling traits can basically be picked up or set down like a set of clothing so long as you know how to coordinate them to match the external expectation.
Which is in a sense the problem. Your signalling traits are ENTIRELY for the benefit of others not yourself. At least in a sense, and the more i think of it likely a good chunk of the reason humans suffer so hard from body and gender dysphoria. Being a social animal we desire that our signalling traits accurately reflect what we self perceive so that others in turn reflect back the proper expectations onto us so they align.
The misalignment causes stress.
I might just be way too fucking tired and over thinking this at this point tho. I need a stronger drink. lol

I’ll settle with being a fruity guy.

So what your saying is your Scottish at heart?
