Please keep in mind that my word is by no means authoritative on this. It's just a personal expression of how I'm experiencing gender and some related topics right now. <<

Well, it's a lot more authoritative than cisgender people writing about gender questioning or gender variation. Everyone has to find their own way, but hearing from other travelers can help a lot.

>>That's the most important thing for me: that we all understand that gender is something that actually needs to be thought about, not just taken for granted. <<

If only. So many people find that the prescribed version fits "close enough" that they don't realize gender is customizable, and then they try to force everyone into that no matter how badly it fits. To say nothing of the agender folks being told they must have a gender, which is like telling nudists they're not really naked. 0_o
