ambivalent sexuality musings 

Stuff that @indi is working in makes me realize that I am gender-specific in my sexual attraction and I feel awkward about this. not just because judging other people’s gender performances feels not okay, but because there’s no direct mapping from gender identity to the thing I’m into. I know both trans and cis people of various genders who “have” it and more who don’t.

It feels gender-y and it’s tagged gender-y in my mind but it’s not an Earth gender? I dunno

@Kistaro BIG MOOD here, and it gets particularly complicated for me when it does correlate to Earth genders... BUT ONLY SOMETIMES. >.<

@indi @Kistaro I feel you; navigating this all as an alien from a place where gender doesn't exist is bad enough, translating non-Earth genders to a framework from Earth is going to be even harder when they can't even agree on how it works among themselves!
