This is a really interesting thread to read, thanks to everyone for taking the time to explain. Gender and gender perception is a fascinating, complex subject. Small two cents from a cis, straight woman - I was a short-haired kid who hated dresses, was allowed to dress however I liked, and as a result I was pretty commonly mistaken for a boy. I had no concept of gender as is, and I rejected traditionally girly things, but I still got pretty annoyed when people called me a boy. As an adult I still cut my hair short and dress "masculine", but reflecting on the gender question more deeply has always given me the same answer - I am comfortable in the mental box that says "woman" and don't really identify myself in the "man" one, nor do I really see myself as agender. I have no idea why or how, or what precise societal mechanism made it work like so, but as much as I need a label to start with, that's the one label that fits me  .
