Hinges
Someone wrote…
Gender keeps messing with my head. The more I think about it and learn things, the more confused I get. I feel like so much hinges on perception, but how do I validate my own perceptions when I’m constantly confronted with the perceptions of everyone else.
To me, being genderqueer means I exist as both/neither gender in my mind, and I’m frustrated with people associating that with my body. My expression is what I want folks to listen to.
What’s your experience?

I can 100% relate to this. If gender expression and body are different things, why do they keep getting lumped together to equate someone’s identity? I express relatively masculinely, but with a female body, so I still get read as female, or androgynous at best. So much frustration….
