ok I think the thing about genderpeople that *actually* bothers me is that I feel not allowed to use my own gender framework around them. I honestly don't give a shit how they present, how deviant from gender norms they are, whether they wear makeup or a boy cut. (1/6)
I wanted a term for "people who care a lot about their pronouns", which *can* include cis folk. I still don't think there's a term that actually encompasses what I meant, which is why I invented one. Still, enough people interpreted the term negatively I'm fine not using it

Ah, yes. Nouns are indeed just shorthand for concepts. Some of us, especially non-binary people are pronoun indifferent. Some people who are indifferent to gender identity as such in words, some identity as non binary. And Vi Hart had an interesting video On Gender, in this area.

And you're right the alternative to graygender or indifference to gender doesn't really have a good noun. And I often like to coin words myself. But if they're unclear or offensive it's not great, might be by accident. Often it's not. Depends! There's meaning, register, purpose
