What I mean by this is that I view any sort of philosophy that requires other people to view you a certain way *or else you experience a lot of pain* to be possibly quite unhealthy. I imagine a good, aligned person doesn't feel the need to control the way other people see them.
Because if you don't fit into one of the two boxes, simply don't fit into one of the two boxes. Be yourself, be nonfeminine or nonmasculine or whatever, and let other people's perceptions be *theirs*, not your issue.

I also don't mean that trying to force people into the gender binary also creates a lot of issues and pain. I had a childhood very much like that, where I was forced into a binary of what women were supposed to be like, which was terrible. I get not wanting to continue that.

Also, for what it's worth, I probably count as agender and have never felt that 'woman' was a descriptor that let people know anything accurate about my personality.
