It would probably be useful to apply a bit of a perspective flip here. From my perspective, an bisexual trans person, I really only want to dress how I like and love who I love - it's not complicated. When I'm in a queer space with other queer people, there is really nothing more than this that needs to be said. But you guys - and I say you guys to mean broader, cisgender-heterosexual society as a whole - are absolutely obsessed with gender. You really are, and you don't even realize it. You have so many norms that are upheld rigorously and sometimes violently without a second thought that prevent me from just existing the way I want to be, and fighting against those norms is why we have to 'appear' to be so obsessed with gender, because we can't just quietly accept our oppression.

And the reason 'cisgender' and 'heterosexual' seem so clinical to you is because we've been prevented from making words to describe ourselves and other people in this way for centuries. Sorry, it's a growing pain.
