Gender's an interesting subject for me. I've tried presenting as and identifying as, not only the two standard gender roles; female and male, but also as both at once and at different times, as somewhere between the two binary choices, a something else entirely and as having no gender at all. None of which really worked for me and I eventually decided that perhaps gender identity itself isn't a useful metaphor for me. In effect I have 'given up' gender. I'm not saying I don't have gendered behaviour or that other people do not perceive gender in me, I'm simply saying that I find no benefit or relevance in basing any part of my identity on whatever gender is there. I am not only completely unable to gender myself in any meaningful way, but I find that I don't actually need to have a gender identity in order to live a comfortable and productive life. For me gender comes from the perceptions of other people and that works for me.
Linked from this page are all the footnotes concerning my experience and perspective of gender as well as some pages examining general transgender, genderqueer and gender-free concepts.
