first tweets of a thread by @CantonWiner: My paper on the relationship between asexuality and feelings of detachment from gender just won the 2023 Graduate Student Paper award from @socwomen-South!  I’m thrilled to see this work recognized by a feminist organization.  A quick summary of the paper: My findings are based on interviews with 77 people on the asexuality spectrum.  At first, I planned to compare the experiences of asexual men, women, and “beyond the binary” asexuals.  I had to scrap that plan.  Why? About 1/3 of interviewees felt detached from gender altogether. These respondents often gave a gender identity when I initially asked. But as we talked, I learned that they felt uncomfortable with being interpreted through the lens of gender.  They found gender presentation/identity to be irrelevant, pointless, or even oppressive.ALT

i feel so seen!!

Holy shit, this!

I would say I am a cis guy, yes, but I really don’t care. I could see myself being a girl aswell (heck I prefer to play feminine characters in video games that allow me to chose), but not in a way would I consider myself trans. Like, I would be fine with any. Obviously I don’t have the experience of being trans, but there is no dysphoria for me. There are things I don’t like about myself, but I feel like that would be the case in any way.

Gender is such a weird concept to me.

Yup! And again I am reminded of that jokey post that said gender is half mating ritual, I really think they were onto something with that.
