A personal take on how I experience gender.

EDIT - more context would have helped as

I’m not trying to propose some simplified mathematical fits all graph here.

I’m struggling, having been out as non binary for about 5 years, with the idea that trans woman might be a better introductory starting point label for me. I understand gender as complex - far more complex than a 2 line graph sketch - but drew the graph to hone in on MY experience with fluidity. I was interested in my strength/clarity of feeling at different points.

and no worries, I suck at my delivery - I don’t mean to come across with such refutation vibes 😅 Maybe I’m just excited to share these articles and connect the dots between the current science on “brain-sex” and the ways we conceptualize or think about gender identity. I like your drawing, esp. the way it is plotted in angles rather than on a Cartesian plot - it’s just fun and quirky.
