or: The effects of being "perfectly" gender-neutral

Being "perfectly" gender-neutral, I've realized that I really have no reason to favor one type of gender pronoun over the other. It therefore makes sense to simply go with the way I present offline. I am male born and legally male, and attempting to pass as female with what I have is more trouble than it's worth (in most situations). I am trying to establish a middle ground without utilizing any form of physical female presentation, at least until further notice. There are exceptions in some situations, but it's "practical transvestitism" rather than the result of any need to "let my inner woman out". I would elaborate, but that would be off topic.

How does this affect you? The most obvious effect is that I am now using male pronouns in self reference after having spent over 2 years and 14 weeks in this community using female ones. I might "slip up" and use female ones now and then depending on my gender mood swings, but it probably won't matter.
Ladies (and gents), you really shouldn't feel sad about this at all. I'm really not denying a part of me. Think about it. If I were to go 100% female and "live the dream" as you might put it, would that really bring me any closer to what I'm trying to achieve?
...
Well it MIGHT, on the grounds that females have a bit more freedom to express their "inner man" than vice-versa in our society. I have other plans, however. They'll be brilliant.

Half-sisters and half-brothers- that's how I perceive you (whether or not you were born in the correct bodies) since I'm not technically a brother OR a sister to anyone, and if you're neutral too then it's siblings. Where was I? Ah yes...
Half-sisters and half-brothers and siblings, check out my lovely new signature (not displayed here, but visible in my commentary). It will promptly blast away any negative feeling you may still have about this latest development. ;)
