I have no dysphoria but also never felt I had an internal locus of masculinity I could access solitarily. Do people do that? Just... what, grab their cock/boobs and go 'yeah, I'm a man/woman'?

🤷‍♀️ it's right there, I don't know how to explain it. it's like how I know I have a nose even with my eyes closed, and I probably would continue to believe it was there even if it had been numbed and I couldn't proprioceptively find it

Maybe some of us are desensitised or something. When I do a long vr experience it always surprises me how quickly I forget about my arms or legs, and how surprising it is to see them again. The sensations of being I feel are on many scales but gender does not feel a part of it.

I'm the same. I feel I could easily be male as much as female, minus the confusing stuff that's been attached to me over the years like learning how to operate as a female. I have no idea what ppl are talking about when they say they can sense their gender!
