I'm curious about the makeup of this community. Might make a graph later.

I'm generally okay with and at ease with my birth gender, though I would definitely say that my inner self isn't inherently gendered and more picked up the qualities of my birth gender along the way but isn't inextricably linked to it.

I tend to think of it like how light when absorbed and reemitted takes on the frequency of the thing which absorbed it, but that coloring of the light isn't really describing the original nature or quality of the light so much as the journey it took and what was picked up along the way.

So cis gendered but not particularly committed to my gender one way or another. Would rank a host of other qualities above my gender in how important it is to my identity.
