Introduce yourself as a TV character.

Perpetually confused by normal human emotions late in life because of something in their brain they didn’t choose to have.

Same. I don’t really consider it in other people. It’s generally irrelevant, except in a sexual partner (and then there’s lots of other considerations too). Aside from “how will they see this interaction given that I’m a man and they’re a ___”, I basically never consider it.

see how it would make any difference to me. I have nb friends/friends who use they as a default and it doesn’t bother me when they refer to me that way; don’t even notice tbh. “She” would just seem odd in the same way as if someone described me as ‘short’; inaccurate, but not part of my identity 2/2

To end by going back to Pete’s original post about they/them probably being closer to his sense of self, I just don’t have a sense of a self with a gender like that, separate from my body, and it doesn’t matter to me that pronouns match my body rather than that sense of self; I don’t personally 1/

Yeah I’ve kinda wondered that about myself, but I think not. I suppose in one way I could be accurately described as AMAB non-binary, but I wouldn’t identify as that because I genuinely have no clue how that would feel or achieve anything different to ‘man.’ For me personally there’s no difference 🤷‍♂️

Exactly. I don’t need to understand it to accept it and respect it. I would like to understand people’s gender identity more, but that’s an entirely separate thing.

can’t understand it, so they view it as wrong, bad, and/or impossible. It’s an attitude I see a lot, with neurodiversity, and also weirdly with the has/lacks an inner monologue thing: some people just have a knee jerk ‘disgust and deny’ reaction to anything different to them. 2/2

I’d be really interested in how many people feel that way. I’ve always had the suspicion that a lot of anti-trans sentiment comes from people who experience their gender in a similar way to me but are (unlike me!) also narrow minded, prescriptivist, arseholes. It doesn’t describe them and they 1/

looks like and how people perceive me.

I find it fascinating that other (most?) people experience things so differently though. And obviously I absolutely support their right to express that how they want and identify how they want and how they feel is authentic. 3/3

describe/fit me beyond "have beard and penis." I know other people might infer things about me based on my gender, but that's it. I really don't understand feeling non-binary; I just can't conceptualise what it could mean. My gender just really doesn't mean anything to me beyond what my body 2/

100% agree people should be able to identify how they want. Who could know better how they feel than them?

Re: gender I have few thoughts but lots of questions. I don’t understand at all what people mean by their gender identity not matching AM/FAB; I have no sense of my gender or how it might 1/

Yeah I always though x was an odd choice to go with for that reason

We’re afraid Terry has taken a turn for the worse on the latest day of #PlasticineHalloween. What would YOU like to dress him up as?

I find all of this quite fascinating because I don’t really see my sex/gender or pronouns as part of my identity at all. To me they’re just practical facts about my body.

Obviously I’m not saying this is how other people should feel about themselves, just that it’s my experience of me.
