There's certainly a non-performative part, I feel it inside of me. But when I'm looking at other people I can't see that, I can only see the performance. Tbh I'm not very good at doing woman despite my internal sense of self. Most of the things people think of in women are not very appealing to me, so I don't do them. And I think it's fair to say a lot of those things, like wearing certain kinds of clothing, are definitely not nature, but arbitrary.

Basically, there's two (maybe more) things going on here both called gender which is very confusing. I'm sure the internal feelings are very correlated to biological factors, but the other parts? No.
