I'm going to be nosey! Gender identity...?

[LadyMoondancer]

I identify as female.

If I ever misgender you (calling you "her" when you prefer "him" or "she" when you prefer "they" or whatever) feel free to tell me, I will do my best to get it right in the future.

Though my memory is not the greatest so it's helpful if people have their preferences in their sig or something, if they don't match the male / female icons under username.

Will do! That's why I always have my pronouns under where it says my location + post number.
So you can have a quick refresher whenever :0.

Female.

I'm a girl.

And I'm dropping a reminder to keep this topic light and happy because I know this can be a sensitive issue and this is off topic, our happy place. Feel free to discuss and state your opinions, but do keep in mind others' feelings when doing so. And to be sure, no posts before this have been a problem, this is just a preemptive reminder for a sensitive topic.

I'm a chick :B

yes, this!! I'm always worried about misgendering people so I find it really helpful when people note things like that in their sigs or w/e.

I identify as female but am not girly.  I very rarely wear makeup or do my hair up nice or wear dresses or dressy thing.

[Taffeta]

I'm female. As a kid I wasn't a girly girl, that's why I liked My Little Pony and not Barbie. Ponies were less girly girlish and more diverse in colour. I am definitely a girl though and never had a doubt otherwise.

What I find interesting is some of the studies on male/female brain, and how this can impact the way in which people react.

I'm also autistic and I know a lot of people with autism find it harder to identify within the gender stereotypes of people without autism because a lot of social stereotypes and norms for these genders don't apply with autism.

But I think, identify as what you want to be. I don't really focus a whole lot about gender labels, or other labels, because it's not about what gender you are to me but what person you are. If someone wants to change from a guy to a girl, for example, it doesn't change the person they are inside, so it's their choice, nothing to do with me at all. You can be whatever you like to me. I operate almost entirely on an emotional level with people anyway, so their souls are what I read, not what they look like or what they wear/sexuality/whatever. I am an emotional and theoretical person, not a physical or practical one.

So if the label helps you identify, then its awesome...but really the most important thing is just being true to yourself. Labels are generally there to help other people understand how you are, not to help you understand yourself (I learned this from "autism" as a label, although I find that still constantly misunderstood).

Female, but I find reading about gender very interesting. It's so diverse!

[ponycake]

I don't get the new prevalent interest in identifying as nonbinary. Haven't really read into it, I don't follow anyone on Tumblr like that so haven't been exposed to it directly.

Female here.

I kinda like the idea of gender being unimportant. Like why can't everyone just like and do what makes them happy regardless of their genitals. If frills and makeup and glitter make you happy why not indulge that interest no matter what set of genitalia you have?

[Aitsuki]

I'm an "other". I was born a female, but I've never been overly feminine. I always hated wearing skirts and dresses, I hate women's clothes and shoes.... Hell, I sit slumped with my legs spread. Doesn't mean I want to be a guy though.... My sexuality is asexual, and to me, I personally find gender identifiers to be annoying and genitalia to be rather icky. So I just say I'm... well, me. I'm a human.... what else matters??

[Sochy]

Im a female, but mostly for convenience. I born in a "female" body and a refer at myself as a girl, even if i dont match at 100% whit the full description of one.

Some days I want to dress more femenine, other days I use boy clothes and some others a mix. I feel a bit unconfortable about my body and I always looking at a neutral appearance, so maybe I match at Androgyne/agender or something like that, but right now I dont feel confortable enter into another self-discovery time.

I identify as human.  I respect all.  I hope that all respect me.  *shrug* 

I think we need to come up with less labels and just leave the definitions of relationships to the people who are having them.  If I want a relationship with someone, then they get to find out about those aspects of my personality.  It's the same for all human beings learning about each other. 

 it's just sad how a lot of idiots have been so disrespectful about the matter.    "Let's all just love one another, man!"   

and I totally agree with Wardah.  That's all.

Exactly my thoughts

[Tap Dancer]

I don't understand labels and that's probably because there are sooo many of them out there. Growing up, and until very recently, people were either male or female. I'm female.
