I am glad that works for you! It... doesn't work as well for me, and it has gotten harder and not easier with time.
I do recognize that lots of people like gender, or at least like pretty big parts of it enough that they put up with the whole thing. And that's cool. I'm not actually a fan of abolishing gender specifically because a lot of people like it; I just want to open it up. "just" as if that's easy, of course, but. :) I wish there were a way to opt selectively in and out of the gender game, to use the parts of it I find useful and slide past the parts I find constraining. It may be that it's nice to want things, but dammit, I want them.
