Winer found that some of their interviewees wanted to alter their presentations or other elements of their gender expression to be more neutral. However, many gender-detached people Winer interviewed had no desire to move away from their existing performance of gender, even if others viewed it as gendered.<ref name=":0" /> | |||

<blockquote>My gender is like an empty lot; there may have been a building there at some point, but it’s long since fallen away, and there’s no need to rebuild it. The space is better for being left empty.</blockquote>- Ollia, a white 23 year old from California, quoted by Winer<ref name=":0" /> | <blockquote>My gender is like an empty lot; there may have been a building there at some point, but it’s long since fallen away, and there’s no need to rebuild it.

I just don’t identify really with most concepts of gender, because it honestly just confuses me. I just don’t get it. I don’t know ''why'' I don’t get it for myself, but I just find existing with preconceived notions on who I “should” be tiring to follow, confusing to understand, and stifling to my true person. Gender, for me, is archaic and not worth the energy. </blockquote>Faye, a Latine 18 year old from Illinois, quoted by Winer<ref name=":0" /> | ||
