Well for me I can be varying degrees of male/female or masc/female
Also valid! Genderfluid folks slide around the graph as needed.
male/female and masc/femme (not really sure what the difference is) […] I’m also not quite sure what the inter/endo dimension is about.
The male/female pair refers to reproductive roles, I’m in the middle of that range because I don’t strongly identify with either of the breeding archetypes.
Masc/femme refers to gender presentation, I lean a bit more towards the masculine side thanks to my fancy moustache and lack of concern for makeup, but I’m also very proud of my itty bitty titties and I like to wear well-fitting clothes that emphasize my figure.
Intersex/endosex is a slightly more complicated one to explain. Just because someone is born with an intersex condition doesn’t necessarily mean that they identify with it and vice-versa for the endosex individuals who have the typical sex charachteristics. Most folks are strongly endo, but gender-nonconforming and nonbinary folks like me have an identity that’s often much closer to the intersex archetype than otherwise.
I’m guessing the low values in the last dimension are causing the rest of it to be messed up.
Being lower on the genderless/genderfull scale does tend to make one’s position in the other dimensions more uncertain, true. I don’t see that as being “messed up”, though, you’ve just got a looser connection to those other aspects of your identity and that’s just fjne! =D
In that case I couldn’t care less about the male/female dimension but my male and female value are basically identical but usually absent. Masc/Femme still varies a lot day by day but my presentation also isn’t how I usually want to look. Inter/endo is still hard but maybe somewhere around a 4.
Thanks for trying to teach me your way of representing gender. It’s easier than some ideas I’ve had but so much better than what most people expect.
