my gender is queer

 something that kinda bothers me when i take queer community surveys or something is that "queer" is an option for orientation, but not for gender. sure, there's genderqueer but my gender is just queer. i use multiple labels for my gender and one of them is just queer. not as in "i experience gender in a queer way" (i mean that too but eh) but as in queer as a gender on the same plain as man, woman etc. it's weird that we're mostly stuck with a sort of off-shoot of queerness because orientational queerness (especially sexual) is still the default. like, not many people call themselves queersexual because people already assume that queer describes orientation and don't consider the fact that when i say i'm queer, i'm mostly referring to both my gender and my orientation or sometimes even only my gender.
