Meowgender

[PotteringPondering]

Catgender: 'where someone feels that the closest way to describe their gender identity is by making the equation to a cat in particular, cats in general, or by comparing their gender identity to certain cat-like features.'

I found out today there is a range of subtypes, including

Meowgender: 'people who feel strongly connected to older and/or full-grown cats. Meowgender people have various reasons for relating to older cats, such as personality, behaviour, or aesthetics.'

Presumably the subtypes share an impulse to disrupt events held by cisfelines (those born as cats), and demand equal access to litter trays.

Me / Mew

Part of me hopes we've all been so very wrong about this gender stuff. Because if it's all actually true, this would really help me to understand my true self.

I've always identified as cat-like, especially the deep discomfort of being outside of my known familiar environment needing time to scope it out and acclimatise. My natural distrust and scepticism of all other beings and their motivations. And a preference to have everything done for me, meals brought, and regular massage.

I think I would identify as an indoor cat as well. Thinking about it makes me feel very peaceful and happy. Ahh. Was definitely born in the wrong body.
