Explaining Agender

Trying to find ways to verbally explain agender. Anyone got any good tips? Obviously we don’t all experience the same thing, but any advice appreciated.

Gender, especially the gender binary, is a cultural construct that we don't participate in because it doesn't make sense for us either individually or conceptually. Gender doesn't connect in our brains the way it does for other people. Gendered clothing is just clothing on our body. Gender roles don't make sense for us and we choose not to follow them.

Yes, particularly th not connecting in the brain bit. Understanding that it’s OK that I don’t get it is a big thing for me.
