Sometimes the distinction between "female but alienated from hetero conceptions of femininity" and "agender but tired" is not as strong as I'd like it to be.

Indeed! I don't know what this is in reference to, but I'm reading a history of undercover women in the Civil War, including one woman who joined the Union Army as a man. Her journal accounts seem to lean towards the former but how much of that is framed by context, time, and the historian is a little fuzzy!

Ugh, yeah.

For myself - I mean, about myself - I have kind of just given up on ever figuring it out or particularly caring what pronouns people use for me, so long as they don't attach assumptions to them. Because yeah, maybe I'm angry about the expectations people have 'because I'm a woman', or maybe I'm not actually a woman, who knows, working it out just seems like far too much hard work.
