I feel like my ability to explore abnormal gendery feelings is really hindered by the whole "any word can mean anything". If the language is so fluid, I don't know what other people actually 'feel like,' and it hurts my ability to connect my feelings with theirs.

Language fails people and people fail language... both are fluid and subjective and ultimately imperfect. Your ability to explore ALL feelings are probably hindered by these facts.

sure, but like.... I would love to go into liberal communities and ask a ton of hard questions about which words mean what, in fine detail, so I can figure out the system and where I fall in it, but they just tend to respond to things with 'Identify as whatever you want'

I got into a pretty heated debate with some TERFs recently, and the one credit I'll give them is that the line they draw and base their entire argument on is much more defined: they base their sexual politics on biological sex regardless of gender or identity.
