That's a good idea. Really, really good. I'll think about it more, of course, but it rings a bell.
The thing is, sometimes I have a feeling that by playing those stereotypes, I support them and the culture that uses them to define people. On the other hand, as long as I do it by choice... like now, when I surprise some hardcore feminists and anti-feminists by wearing pink and talking in female-coded patterns and being clever and feminist at the same time :)
The other thing - as with everything 'bi', I sometimes feel that I'm sitting on the fence and don't quite belong to any group. For example, now I often think of myself as 'cis' because I'm deeply into female phase and actually am at the moment the same gender as assigned. But as soon as I move into male phase, I'll have all the issues of non-cis person, up to gender dysphory. But I don't have them nowm and actually am quite happy to be a girl... It's the same with bisexuality and all the other things I am because I'm always somewhere in the middle :)
I think I need a group of people in the middle :):):)
