    I've struggled with my gender for the past year, and finally realized its a pointless battle.

    I have male mannerisms, but I reject masculinity.
    I feel very feminine sometimes, but in normal life I'm basically asexual.
    I call myself a woman, as that's the only thing I feel when I feel anything, but no one takes that seriously because I don't act in a way that they see as female.
    I call myself Brett or Mara, it doesnt matter.

    My gender orientation has no label, because its too complicated for even me to understand, but that's perfectly fine. I realize this now. I think that if someone would want to understand my gender, we would already be acquainted enough for them to understand me complexly, a simple label would just make people misinformed.
    I guess I just don't care.

    That is all.

    I wish I could have that mentality. I guess the world would be an easier place to live in if nothing had labels, but so many people seek labels out to feel like they fit in. I am currently wiggling between genders and I suppose I'm in an area of no label at the moment, and I hate it xD I admire your mannerisms on the issue.
