I like “dyke” as a gender, partly because the word itself is harsh sounding, partly because I find gender to be weird. I knew in my teens I was gonna have to do something about the hormone situation, but that doesn’t necessarily say anything about my gender. I don’t really like “woman” for myself, it feels weird and loaded with expectations and also all the stuff in the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto Which You Should Read pretty much ruined my brain and now I can’t take binary gender that seriously anymore, personally.

Whatever my gender is, it’s very strongly coloured by being trans and autistic. “Non-binary” describes perfectly where I’m at but beyond that it’s sort of vague and wobbly. I can identify a lot stronger with the sapphic stuff than anything else. I’m not a full-tilt agender void goblin ( ) but I’m probably closer to that than “woman”. I needed to shirk the label before I felt comfortable messing with skirts, makeup, or actually enjoying my body. Something about binary labels does not fit.

Edit: I also did a similar cool thread once which you might like
