I am not 100% comfortable with identifying myself as definitely positively absolutely gender-neutral, but I am significantly more comfortable with it than any other identification sooooo yeah, I guess I am going with that and reserving the right to be confused. Ahaha.
I am learning new things! It totally makes sense that some folks would identify as both just as some folks identify as neither. I just hadn't considered that a possibility before. Cool! :D I am super excited for you, I hope that's okay. Just the fact that this is a possibility, that you know it is a potential state of being, is really awesome. I know a lot of my questioning of whether I am allowed to identify this way is due to not knowing the term gender-neutral until relatively recently and wondering if the chicken or the egg came first, you know, was I actually gender-neutral before I knew the term - so I am kind of unreasonably excited that gender-fluid is a term that exists. Acknowledgment of diversity! Yay!
I hope it is not presumptuous to ask - do you have a set of pronouns you prefer for yourself? (And seriously, ahaha, I am the last person who will demand a concrete, definitive answer on what your gender is. I am familiar with the endless internal debate.)
