I really hate when people say gender is just “in the mind” or “in your head”. It’s really reductionist and it always comes from cis people. Gender is experiential and interactive, and moreover real. Asserting that gender is some sort of mental construction that doesn’t take place outside of your mind invalidates the hell that trans people go through for just existing within ourselves.
