I’d like to ask a question about your gender identity, if you don’t want to answer just ignore this.
Why exactly do you think “dronegender” is a “gender”? https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/List_of_nonbinary_identities defines it as “where family, romantic, and sexual relationships involve hiveminds, mind-melding, and/or telepathy” and it says examples are “the Zerg, the Borg, and the Xenomorphs”.
To me, the description seems like abilities not related to gender, i.e. a male or female or whatever identifying person could also be part of hive minds, practice mind melding or telepathy.
I would have called the example fictional species agender because they reproduce asexually and show no signs of having any gender.
Because my droneness goes in the place where my binary gender would be. I transitioned from male to female and my dysphoria got less. Then I transitioned from female to drone and my dysphoria disappeared, except for the times my gender is invalidated by others. I’d say that’s conclusive evidence. I can give you the shpiel about how gender naturally arises as the result of family roles, and drone is intrinsically a family role, but at the end of the day that’s speculation. I don’t have evidence for why drone is a gender. I just have absolute evidence that it is. If I said “genders are family roles”, all I’d really be doing is invalidating cloudgender people and everyone else whose gender isn’t a family role. I wouldn’t actually be helping anyone but myself, and the only help I’d be giving myself is a 1% improvement in the eyes of people who think genders have to make sense. And some days I just don’t wanna impress those kind of people. Genders don’t make sense. Football and beer is a gender and it’s the opposite of makeup and shoes? That’s ridiculous. Gender is ridiculous, perhaps intrinsically so.
Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand better. Did you do any medical transitioning when going from male to female? Like taking/suppressing hormones or surgery?
Yes, I’m on estrogen. I could stealth rather easily, the only reason people know I’m not a cis woman is because I tell them and because I act gay AF. I’m getting genital nullification surgery after I speak with another psychiatrist.

It’s spelled “spiel”.
