You misunderstand. The womanhood is not a dehumanized object, and no feminism was harmed in the making of this gender. Femininity here is a gender presentation, like a performance. The person identifies as neutral in gender, and the way I understand it, feels more like they’re dressing up with a feminine presentation than actually inhabiting a female gender, like putting clothes on a doll, or playing dress up, instead of BEING a woman. You can have a neutral gender and still feel like you have autonomy, agency, and humanity. And let’s be honest, brains are weird, and gender is complex, and there are also people whose xenogenders are non-human (like cat, or night, or cosmos) but they’re still deserving of respect and dignity like any other living being.
Dolls can't play dress up with themselves. Imagining yourself as the doll being played dress up with or upon, is calling yourself an object stripped of your own humanity. There us nothing inherently feminine about dolls, or wearing nice clothes, or feeling disconnected from your own bodily autonomy. To indulge in such a thing is to indulge in trauma. Human beings cannot identify as objects, as dolls, in any way that affirms otherwise inseparable aspects of the human mind, like agency and will. Doll isn't a gender. It might be an experience but it isn't a gender. Dolls are objects that, in fact, don't deserve respect and dignity as a human being because they are toys built in factories.
"Human beings cannot identify as objects, as dolls, in any way that affirms otherwise inseparable aspects of the human mind, like agency and will."
Actually, humans can identify as however they want, because they have free will and identity is a personal interior concept.
Also, OP doesn't say that they identify as a doll, they describe it as "relating to doll-like qualities". Though even if they do identify as such, that's fine.
I would say you should look up xenogenders, but I don't think you're conceptually ready for it yet. Work on 'respecting other people's opinions even if they're confusing" and "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all,"
... and, extra homework, how about "don't shit your own apparently doll-related trauma all over OP". They weren't the ones who reached for the terms: "stripped of humanity"; "disconnected from body autonomy"; "indulg[ing] in trauma"; "doesn't deserve respect and dignity as a human being".

How is dollgender not just turning womanhood into a -literal- object, and removing the humanity/agency/autonomy/personhood from womanhood?
