gender agender
I think I feel that I may be "too male" to claim anything else, despite my reservations. Outwardly, most of my presentation-based idiosyncrasies reflect a "repressed-goth" more than anything else. Though this development and attempt to express myself through appearance has become markedly more obvious (per my spouse) since having lost a significant amount of weight--as though I now feel more comfortable exploring different elements of expression.

@Goldkin I've always had a sense of guilt and awkwardness with my societally-imposed prescribed gender-expectations, but I always assumed that was inexorably tied to either clinical depression or my guilt with regards to sexuality. It really hasn't been until the past year that I've started to fully appreciate the difference between all of those.

@Goldkin Thank you very much for this. I'm not sure if I can ever feel confident enough to claim anything as far as identity--as I have issues with feeling that I have not "earned" something--but this gives me significantly more to think about.
@murilega IT'S MURI! YAY!

Throwing this out there for any honest input and hoping I don't regret it.
Where is the line (or vast DMZ) between 'agender' identity and just typical dissatisfaction and guilt over culturally expected and imposed norms for one's assumed gender? Are there any distinct qualifiers between "I am not this" and "I feel guilty?"

@Elizafox Ah, I grew up in what you would have known as "Southern" Illinois. (i.e., south of I-80).

@dragonluvr89 But honestly, I'm the same. I don't keep up on much pop music, and learn about a lot of it only when it becomes part of a meme.
@dragonluvr89 Only when I read "radio implants" as "radio-implants" and I thought you were saying you had some sort of internal receiver.

@Elizafox I can't! Regionally non-distinct to my ears.
