To me, expression is independent of gender, and your gender is completely outside of your control; it resides in the eyes of society. Gender *is* an assignment of society. And so when people expect me to view them as a gender I don't view them as, that just does not work.(4/6)
As in; the part of my brain that does "Oh, that is not a tree, that is a house" feels like it's the part that's doing gender, for me. And you can tell me the house is a tree and I can try very hard to accept this but I don't have conscious access to my perception in this regard.

I've mostly come to suspect that different people have super different processes around gender, and probably have very different associations with that word. Likely gender for some other people does not lie in the same part of their processing that it does for me.
