I can describe love (which also i think is a fundamentally incomplete concept as it's used) and also hunger though.

....no it won't be completely different? It might be slightly different, but people write books and poems about love that are really popular because other people understand them. If you asked me what love feels like I could say a ton of things that likely most others would share.

but gender identity isn't like that - whenever i get to the point in the conversation where i ask "what does it feel like to be a woman", people *do not* answer this. I have literally not gotten a single answer that is directly about this and not referring to stereotypes.

so like, what am I supposed to think? I don't necessarily want to believe that this gender identity framework thing is a bad one, but after having people being unable to give coherent answers I just can't accept it.

I don't *have* a core identity. I don't think it exists. I don't have trouble articulating it, it just literally is not there.

I don't. There's definitely tiers, but at its core I am nothing; I write about this a lot on my blog.

For me, I process it as incredibly liberating and beautiful. Through this I find a really deep self-acceptance and a greater access towards love of others. I'm hesitant to say buddhist but it does seem to be in the direction of what some buddhists talk about.
