[2] Is there a connection between your gender identity and kintype?
Does your kintype have an influence on your gender identity? Maybe you disconnect your gender from your kitnype's gender? Or your gender identity changes during shifts? If you feel like you have an answer to any of these questions, feel free to share your thoughts. Like in my previous post, I'll also write about my experience:
In my case, my alien identity has an impact on my life as a whole, including my gender identity. Most 'human stuff' doesn't feel right or apply to me, it's the same with gender. The human gender labels, like male, female, and even nobinary are not for me. I know that I technically "am" nonbinary, by looking at the definition, however that still doesn't feel like me. When someone asked me about my gender, I'd answer "My gender comes from space - literally." In Polish it sounds way better. So, my gender is beyond the human understanding of it. I am sure that my species breeding ways are different than human, I unfortunately do not know how exactly. The best label I could find that describes me is 'xenognder', 'xenic'. One of the definitions I found says "a gender that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender; more concerned with crafting other methods of gender categorization and hierarchy such as those relating to animals, plants, or other creatures/things". The first part fits. For now, I don't identify with a specific xenogender [like catgender, ect.], as it's tied to my species' unknown biolgy. Am I transgender? I would say yes, since this body wasn't, in fact, born the "correct" way. I am transspecies and transgender, these two labels - in my case - overlap eachother. And even though my knowledge about my species' physical traits is not very wide, I'll just do and try to change things that will make me a bit more happy.
