Because my droneness goes in the place where my binary gender would be. I transitioned from male to female and my dysphoria got less. Then I transitioned from female to drone and my dysphoria disappeared, except for the times my gender is invalidated by others. I’d say that’s conclusive evidence. I can give you the shpiel about how gender naturally arises as the result of family roles, and drone is intrinsically a family role, but at the end of the day that’s speculation. I don’t have evidence for why drone is a gender. I just have absolute evidence that it is. If I said “genders are family roles”, all I’d really be doing is invalidating cloudgender people and everyone else whose gender isn’t a family role. I wouldn’t actually be helping anyone but myself, and the only help I’d be giving myself is a 1% improvement in the eyes of people who think genders have to make sense. And some days I just don’t wanna impress those kind of people. Genders don’t make sense. Football and beer is a gender and it’s the opposite of makeup and shoes? That’s ridiculous. Gender is ridiculous, perhaps intrinsically so.
Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand better. Did you do any medical transitioning when going from male to female? Like taking/suppressing hormones or surgery?
Yes, I’m on estrogen. I could stealth rather easily, the only reason people know I’m not a cis woman is because I tell them and because I act gay AF. I’m getting genital nullification surgery after I speak with another psychiatrist.

It’s spelled “spiel”.
