I might describe my style of clothes as goth femme somebody else who wore the same might not use any m/f related terms.
-
-
That's what I also meant to get at - which aspects of myself I consider relevant to my gender (and vice versa) may be different for others
-
Sure, but clothes might be part of their gender but still not on the f/m spectrum.
-
Not describing something as on m/f spectrum doesn't imply it's not gendered.
-
I'm personally more into being described as agender but still would describe my clothes as femme.
-
And, yes, it's consider my clothes and part of my gender.

*I, not it's

Is it description or identification, i.e. 1st or 3rd person? Thinking about myself e.g. made me realize identity may be co-shaped by others'
-
categorisations, which can misalign with self-identification, but that fact can become part of identity. Does this make sense?
-
The discursive point is that you can't construct the 1st person outside of the concepts/language of the 3rd person
-
Indeed. Guess that's what I was experiencing when I was trying to answer the questions
@o_guest &@kleinherenbrink were raising for myself. -
It's very complex, especially when the term "gendered" itself has connotations of m/f and not of neutral for most people.
-
In my other native language, for example, there's 3 genders for nouns. But what's interesting = word for grammatical gender & human gender
-
are totally different words (γένος vs φύλο) so even in that language gendered comes with binary baggage.
