Well, anyone who claims to have an answer is just talking nonsense. We're collectively figuring out this whole gender stuff in an ongoing social process.

Some fundamentals we seem to be working towards:

Everyone should have equal opportunity in life.
Everyone should be able to pursue an identity they like. Equal opportunity should not mean erasing identity.
Everyone gets to freely choose which identities they find attractive.
Well, and in an ideal world, no one would need to feel uncomfortable.

I don't believe in identity past "I am me and wanna keep my finances and whatnot to myself".

Yes. That's what everyone wants. To feel like "me"

The problem is "me" feels diffrent to everyone.

I don't see why it would matter much, what you believe in with that. I'm not big on identity either. But the majority of people very much enjoy them.

Not to mention people that aren't you care much more about your identity. Though not explicitly. They will judge and treat you based on how they see you.

It's why people talk louder to babies after they hear it's a boy. It's why people percieve shorter people as dumber or less competent. It's just how people approach others.
