Some days you got it, and your gender feels "wrong," and at other times you don't and everything's cool.
I've been told by those genderqueer folks who've read my genderqueer writing (porn. It's porn.) that I'm very good at capturing that experience, in spite of my being a cisgender man, so take from that what you will.
My major comprehension issue is the fact that I've never had what I've heard described as a gender identity. Insofar as I ever actually think about it, I consider this no more a part of my identity than my hair color or body shape or even my sexuality. I'm a man with man parts and that's about all it means to me.
This is definitely not to say that I think having a gender identity is strange or anything like that. I just don't 'get' that mindset. I could very well be the weird one here.
