Gender is simultaneously an intimate thing, so close to our hearts we may never even know it's there unless something violates it, and also a preposterous thing that can be so large and encompassing as to be seemingly impossible to define.
And while most people ultimately put ourselves in one of two big buckets labeled "man" or "woman," that tells us very little, and we ultimately define the experience for ourselves irrespective of biology, culture, or attempts to socialize us differently.
