Thoughts on this niche micro label (acegender)?
Definition:
"Acegender can be a stand-alone gender or used in combination with another gender to show that one's experience of that gender is heavily influenced by one's ace-spec identity.
One's gender can be influenced by one's asexuality in many ways. For example,
- One may not feel fully connected their gender due to notions about sexuality
- One may feel that, even though they are a certain gender, they do feel fully connected to that gender, or their experience as that gender has been heavily influenced by being asexual.
Ace-spec and acegender individuals may be gender non-conforming for similar reasons."
I do feel gender non-conforming in some ways. It's like instead of my gender feeling feminine, it feels like this neutral third thing but still female at the same time.
I thought maybe I was gender apathetic, cassgender, agender, etc. But none of those labels really fit. I sort of gave up searching for a label, jokingly thought that my asexuality was my gender and got curious. Turns out orientation genders are a thing. Who knew?
Personally, I probably wouldn't outright identify as acegender, but I found it interesting and wanted to share. So, what do you think?
