~semi-~ Serious question, Idon’t get it. Most of us get why the hegemonic gender system is stupid, why subscribe to the binary role you were assigned? Also, why do straight people exist? Maybe it’s just me but I like to look and feel like my own perception of what is attractive.

When I was younger I had long hair and usually 2 or 3 days of growing beard. It was good enough and low maintenance. I liked the efficiency of it.

I'm balding and got a dense beard. It's good enough and low maintenance, I like the efficiency of it.

But I don't move like a cis guy, I don't sit like a cis guy. I like yoga and crystals. I like videogames and cooking. I fucking hate the gym, and don't really like practicing sports. I'm happy to act generally gender fluid, but I have no attraction to guys, so I never felt the urge to experiment with it.

So. I'm a person, I keep tidy with low maintenance and that's generally good enough to get the attention from the people I'm interested in. Low effort wins.

gym not needed to do casual 10-squats whenever you see the opportunity.
