And vice versa, the same features but end up with different genders e.g., "gender fluid" or "woman", etc.
Gay men have gender ids they created too, twink— bear. Gay women have femme — butch. Binary gender spectra are common in queer spaces too.

For me more the reverse: I identify as woman, but my appearance/clothes are rather agender or androgenous.https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/899722889636831234 …

Throughout my life, ppl often confused about my gender. On one hand surprises me (bcse of contrast to identity), on other hand used to it.

In any case, re: feature space discussion: Think you right that all kinds of combinations possible without simple mapping to identity.

Like you said eg this:https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/900727928169877504 …

To me, seems to raise Q: what does determine gender, if any set of features & its complement can be consistent with a given gender identity.

At the end of the day gender is two things: a personal construct (like saying you like something) and
-
a social construct (what (you think) others think when they see, talk, interact with you).

Also top — bottom, which tends to pattern with male/butch/bear — female/femme/twink.
