~semi-~ Serious question, Idon’t get it. Most of us get why the hegemonic gender system is stupid, why subscribe to the binary role you were assigned? Also, why do straight people exist? Maybe it’s just me but I like to look and feel like my own perception of what is attractive.

I think about what it would be like to be the opposite gender, but it's not a very strong feeling. It's just me wondering what life is like for the other side. I also think that it would be too much trouble to accomplish a gender change, so just that fact tells me that I'm not actually trans. I don't even think of myself as male most of the time. I'm me before I'm part of a category that includes almost half of the world's population.
