hi i’m not trying to be critical, i’m genuinely wondering. what is the difference between your understanding of gender and just an aesthetic? some things like serkonine, etc seem like aesthetics and i’m curious as to how they tie into gender

this is my experience with aesthetic-based genders, but obviously i can’t speak for everyone -

basically, when i imagine my gender (like, try to envision it in my mind), it might look, or feel, a certain way, or just even give off certain vibes. and sometimes, there is no difference between something being a gender and something being just an aesthetic. i know that’s confusing! sorry i can’t explain it better!

someone in a discord server, when i asked, said:

“To me it feels like there’s a “space” inside me where a binary gender would go, and there are aesthetic genders that fill that space. Also, society sends us a lot of messages about gender and different people internalize them in different ways- for some people the important part is an external role, for others the important part is an internal feeling, and that’s okay.”
