These days there seems to be a lot of talk about gender identity, a subject I find extremely complex and just as fascinating.
While a lot of philosophical contemplation has already been exercised on the matter, I'm going the personal route: what does your gender identity mean to you? How do you identify yourself? If our abstract concepts range from "extremely feminine" to "extremely masculine," where do you fall on this spectrum? Does your sexuality play a big role for you? Do you feel accepted by your culture/environment, or perhaps a little invalidated? Feel free to involve type theory if you like.
I'm curious about the grey areas we see within ourselves.
Putting this under "General Psychology" because I feel like it's an even broader topic than sexuality; my apologies if this specific angle has been touched upon recently.
