Agender

Here's something I never really brought up here before, not because I was avoiding the topic, just never really felt the need to bring it up. I just randomly felt like talking about it now. So I consider myself agender. Since I was a kid I never felt like I 'fit' into the molds of 'girl' or 'boy' that, as a kid, I had the understanding of. I avoided wearing dresses, using make-up, carrying around a purse, things would see me as 'girly'. I wanted to have a wallet (which my mother would argue with me about because a wallet is what a man carries and not for me according to her), I like to wears ties (which I still like to wear)and always was drawn to fancy suits and do things considered 'boyish'. Eventually I was called tomboy. I think my mother accepted that as a explanation for my interest and behavior.
But that didn't sit right with me as a kid either. I didn't feel like I was some tomboy. It wasn't that I wanted to change my gender around or been seen entirely as masculine. I just knew I didn't want to be called 'her,miss,young lady' all the time. I didn't want to be a 'her' but I also didn't want to be a 'he' and be called 'sir,mister,young man'. I wanted to be genderless. I wanted a genderless body. The thought of having 'male' parts or 'female' parts never sit well with me. Only the idea of having a genderless body did I feel like 'yes, that is it, that's what I want, what I feel'. A genderless body I could dress up in any way I wanted. For the most part I dress in a neutral way but sometimes I want my IMAGE to give off a 'cutesy' feel or a 'stylish' feel, I'm not dressing my body to REPRESENT a 'feminine' or 'masculine' gender. I hope that makes sense >.< I just feel most comfortable considering my self genderless, never really fitting in with any gender.
This is always why I tend to make a lot of characters (especially my demons ones) that have this sort of mix of gender parts. Like how one character will have a male member but have female parts internally. Or how any of my sona's have a mix, some male and female parts, or whatever, I don't have a 'female' exclusive furrysona or a 'male' exclusive demonsona, etc. I just mix them around, or give them shape shifting abilities, because I personally don't identify as any gender so I just play around with physical gender types for my characters for the hell of it.
Annnyways, that's just some thoughts I wanted to get down because I felt like it. I'm agender. I really don't care what gender pronoun folks use to refer to me. I actually wish they was better words for representing different gender identities since I don't like the whole 'ze/hir/. And 'they' is odd to me too because, as a writer, I prefer it as pural. I don't know, maybe new words will pop up soon that will better represent gender pronouns.

people just conform ideas around what we can easily observe, don't feel obligated into identifying as a "stereotyped gender" as people are more complex than that... but do understand that it Is a helpful thing to know what they "are" as to what they "want to be"... it is important as some speech are centered around addressing a gender differently so...
just go with whatever part you were born with... boy girl herm... and don't think to hard about it as there are more important things to stress over than not wanting to be called "dude" but that's just how I see it...
