I'm agender, in that when I google 'agender' everything that's said about it sounds right to me. I have no sense of internal gender, womanness feels like a suit I got put into. But the concept of telling people I'm "not cis" feels so bizarre. 1/

It also seems weird cause 'cis' is often used as a weapon in the gender culture wars, and sometimes people who are angry at me describe me as cis, and I often don't correct them, because it feels weird that my agenderness should be relevant *at all* to almost *anything*

I think it mostly has to do with feeling comfortable in your own skin and self respect. For you, that’s clearly not an issue, but for many, it is.

Switching to the other gender, and then making a big performance about being that new gender, is a bizarre approach if the purpose is to free people from these classifications. It would seem to reinforce the idea that gender is an intrinsic element of a person’s inner essence.

A person is in fact female, so we call her “she”, with as much fanfare as calling any object by its name. The meat-covered carcass is less interesting than the person who resides within, no matter what incidental surgeries or changes in clothing one might perform.
