@Jgold101 until I dated a guy for a while, then really introspected for a couple decades I thought “it’s whatever. I don’t even think people should think about gender, ever”.

There are indeed people who oversimplify what “gender is a social construct” and/or think that everyone should just ignore the gender of any potential romantic partner.
I just don’t find any gender but Woman attractive. That’s convenient, because I’m married to one.
