➸ Okay seriously? Call me old-fashioned but...

…I’m not going to get into a public discussion of my feelings about my most intimate genitalia, just to satisfy someone’s curiosity that my genderlessness is ~real enough~. Suffice to say, there’s plenty of room there for discussion. But some of us don’t enjoy discussing our genitalia, let alone…

Also, what the eff do genitals even have to do with nongenderedness? Even if I were to wake up with, oh, a mango tree or an inter-dimensional portal to France down there, it wouldn’t magically confer a sense of being Mango Gendered or Portal To France Gendered or any other kind of gendered. For me the extent to which nongenderedness intersects with my physical form pretty much means I could scarcely care less what I have in my pants as long as it’s not painful or infected or whatever. That isn’t the only way for a person’s genderlessness and physicality to interact but my point is that it is nobody’s business but the individual’s how they feel about the configuration of their bits.

Apparently the only way to be ~real~ is to have body dysphoria, everything else is ~just wanting attention~.  This is what I learn from browsing tags that are supposed to be about genderlessness.  Which means, you and I would be ~real~, because we both have body dysphoria, but I have that feeling like… “I wouldn’t want to join a club that would let me in?” or something.  I mean seriously why do these things have to become pissing contests and border wars and crap?  Who the hell cares why someone else feels they don’t have a gender?
