And to be clear, I am *absolutely pro* attempting to jump buckets in genderspace, I just also think it's extremely hard to do, because there's a huge amount of traits to strip away. A 3-legged, mutant cat raised by dogs still registers to us as 'cat', tho a weird one. 3/
hmm. I think when i 'don't process people as enby', i'm imagining like... being in a group of ppl, and there's a female enby there, and i think a part of me is tracking sexual interest/competition in the group? and i view female enby as 'competition' in some very subtle way?

or if they're a male enby then i process them as 'more likely to try to have sex with me', or something. Like some part of me is running a constant 'monitor the sexual landscape' thing and enbies get put into that by their birth gender. Do you not have this thing?

(i also think this is why my brain treats trans ppl differently; if they're a passing trans person i no longer process them in the original bucket quite as much, like a passing trans female i dont think is gonna try to have sex with me, and i see also as competition)
