I think the thing other people are parsing as 'gender' isn't 'gender' to me. I talked with a nonbinary friend recently who described their nonbinaryness as sort of... not wanting to be misunderstood as having female traits. This is valid! This also is completely different from-
I had trouble parsing this so i'm not sure i understand, but I agree what you listed is frame. I'm slightly less into the last part being frame, where behaviors/presentations feel better or worse; I think it depends a lot on the individual example

Interesting. I *think* my take is one of(????) the big normative ones(????), though I did do a hard-to-parse thing to try it get it all into a single tweet. I'll be so curious/surprised if my take is weird. I'll think about whether there's another way I'd say it.

How about just: "I generally feel masculine/feminine. In particular X way, I feel masculine. Because of this, feminine behavior/experience/presentation in this context or along this dimension feels dystonic/wrong/hard/grating/not-me/something." Maybe this is your original tweet

What about like, "feeling like what it feels like to be a man/woman," or "feeling intrinsically masculine/feminine." And feeling like, "from that," certain behaviors, experiences, presentations, feel better or worse?
Does the above slot in anywhere? This is frame too I think
